Students with undetected color blindness can have problems with specific teaching methods and materials. The problem should be ruled out in children with suspected learning disabilities and taken into account in career counseling. Nine examples of simple classroom modifications are described. (CL)

Describes how a teacher can give demonstrations of additive color mixing with one slide projector. (CK)

The author describes the screenprinting project he uses to begin his high school Printmaking I class and gives detailed instructions, with materials lists and diagrams, for the multicolor screenprinting process. This is one of several articles in this issue on graphic arts projects. (SJL)

A Dutch teacher presents a lesson on color in architecture and visual problem solving for high school students. Basic teaching and evaluation procedures are discussed. This article is one of several in this issue on art teaching in other countries. (SJL)

This study asked whether a mediated transfer procedure could facilitate acquisition of labeling tasks in learning-disabled students. In two experiments three young boys learned multiplication facts and number labeling within days following introduction of a color mediation procedure. (Author/PB)

Investigates what appeals to students in using coloring books and whether they use them in imaginative ways. The intent was to use the information to develop creative book activities that interest and challenge students. (Author/RK)

Seventeen active attention-problem elementary children were given copying tasks to determine whether they were more attracted to color stimulation than normal controls. Among other findings, results suggested that experimental children responded to tasks differently when color was used and that their performance was better with relevant color than…

Describes construction and operation of an inexpensive and portable educational hallway exhibit on color mixing. (JRH)

Presents guidelines for developing thematic units for primary students (pick broad-based themes, gather resources, avoid time traps, let student interests guide the themes, create interactive bulletin boards, and organize materials). The article offers ideas, activities, and experiences for beginning a color unit and maintaining thematic teaching…

The author gives step-by-step procedures for a screen printing project that teaches color mixing to young children. (SJL)

Presents the Night Spectra Quest, a pocket-sized chart that identifies in color the spectra of all the common night lights and has an integrally mounted, holographic diffraction grating to look through. (JRH)

The effect of background color on the perception of color by students is discussed. Explanations on why students only see certain colors when viewing colored marks on a blackboard through different color filters are provided. (KR)

Most schools teach the triadic color system, utilizing red, blue, and yellow as primary colors. Other systems, such as additive and subtractive color systems, Munsell's Color Notation System, and the Hering Opponent Color Theory, can broaden children's concepts and free them to better choose color in their own work. (IS)

Two different methods of measuring the temperature of an incandescent lamp at various voltage levels are described. By observing the color produced at a particular voltage levels, the lamp's color as a function of temperature can be determined. Needed equipment include a variac, a voltmeter, and an ammeter. (KR)

The "Sound of the Day" is a color stimulation method of teaching reading in English, Chinese (both the characters and the orthographical pin-yin), and other languages. The method involves reviewing previously learned sounds, introducing a new sound each day, learning four new words which begin with the same sound, and then drawing and coloring…
