Colorful Classroom

Winter 2021

As I said in the little blurb, the end goal of school is to get myself a Teacher Licensure and find myself in a classroom. A major in Art and minors in English and Applied Writing Practices have only ever been steppingstones towards that goal. I do love to be artsy, read and write, but the plan has always been that they’ll be assets in getting me into a school if they don’t have a 1st or 2nd grade teacher position immediately available. For two and two thirds years I was never really able to bring any of my undergrad to help inform my future, but I got the chance in my Color class—a course all about how colors work together and affect us—to merge the two. The professor was not concerned about us being formal with our paper. He wanted to get a look into our heads with how we tackled this project; so I obliged and this paper is basically a transcription of the nonsensical tangle that runs around my head before I run it through the school filter and produce something like “Monstrous Situations,” “Betrayal in Three Acts,” or my rhetorical analysis of “We Become What We Behold.” It was filtered a little, unfiltered Elizabeth is very disjointed and sketchy and not very intelligible to anyone that isn’t me.

The paper is below as a PDF called “Colorful Classroom.”

The presentation of my findings—which has clearer pictures of my photomanipulations—is below as a PDF called “CC Presentation.”

The notes that accompany the presentation—and offer a more succinct account of why I think the different colors do or don’t work—is below as a PDF called “CC Notes.”
