MEGAN HECKLERRobert C. Byrd High School
Context of RCB High School
Clarksburg, WV: 16,500 residents and growing
RCB High: Grades 9-12, approximately 838 students
General Art 1 Classroom: 25 Individual seats, 4 tables for learning centers
Students: 25 students, 15 boys and 10 girls, 7 with IEPs
Can In Class Color Experiments Increase Color Vocabulary and
Awareness in Works of Art?
Guiding Research Question
Rationale
Students are not introduced to color theory until late in their education.
Students were students not aware of their color choices and how they affect their viewers, thus, causing a less engaging piece of art.
Using a hands-on approach allows the students to learn through discovery, allowing a more meaningful experience.
Having students more aware of their color selections will increase the effectiveness of their art. This corresponds with the host teacher and observations.

In the results concluded by my study, the idea of using in class experiments to increase color vocabulary and color awareness is supported. This is shown by the results and data collected.
Conclusion
Recommendations
Be flexible and take it in stride.
Encourage students to take risks and learn from their mistakes.
Be able to admit when you are wrong. Even as a teacher, you are still learning.
Motivate students through involvement and discovery instead of direct questions and answers.
