Kristen Dixon City High Graduation Project: Currant Frustration

And I'm now over stressing about the collage... Colors and emotions.... Argh.... I still don't have an essential question either. I'm lost.

Essential Question: Does color effect emotion

Foundation Questions

· Why?

· What colors cause what emotions?

· What affects this?

· Does it affect learning?

· Does ones background affect this?

· Is this used in designing schools or houses?

· Is gender a factor?

· Does color and emotion also have an effect in clothing?

· What other scenarios are there where the color of something effects ones emotions?

· How can this information be used to improve schools or homes containing depressed people?
