Introduction

Color surrounds us and defines our world. Without colors, life would be dull and uninteresting. Some colors are soothing, others are exciting. We use colors to describe our own world…. to attract attention, express your own point of view, unite with the team. Color helps us transform a home into Our home. Probably many of you have heard such expressions "look through rose-colored glasses", or "he sees everything in black." This does not mean at all that those people who are easy about life actually wear rose-colored glasses, and gloomy people have eyes that are arranged in some special way. These expressions rather indicate that Color and mood are somehow related. It turns out that even in ancient times, people believed that color has magical powers. Since then, scientists have conducted numerous studies that have confirmed the fact that color affects a person's mood, feelings and even thoughts. Each color triggers a different reaction in the human brain. So, the blue color has a very beneficial effect on a person and gives him a sense of peace and satisfaction. Dark blue - a sense of security. The same reaction is caused by the greenish-blue color. If a person is very excited and even aggressive, it is enough to place him in a room with bright pink wallpaper, as he very quickly calms down and even falls asleep. It is also noted that those people who were exposed to the bright pink color, even for a very short time, experienced muscle weakness. However, it was enough to change the color to blue, and this weakness disappeared. This means that the color affects not only the mood, but in general on the human body. Moreover, different people have a different reaction to a particular color. If emotionally - excitable person is better to surround himself with calm - blue and green tones, then passive and relaxed will not interfere with the red color. In any case, he will help him maintain at least some activity in himself. Do colors have a reverse effect on our mood, feelings, thoughts? Science answers this question in the affirmative! Each color evokes a special reaction in the human brain - blue conveys a feeling of peace and contentment, dark blue conveys a sense of security (the same reaction is caused by greenish-blue color). Many people now know this amazing property of color and choose such a color scheme in their apartments, workrooms, which creates coziness and does not cause irritation.

Hypothesis : The color and mood of the teachers and students of our gymnasium are interconnected.

Objective : to find out the relationship of color and mood of teachers and students in the gymnasium

Tasks:

1. To study what color means for students and teachers of the gymnasium

2. To study how the mood influences the choice of the color of the gymnasium collective.

Object of study : teachers and students of the gymnasium.

Subject of study "How the mood is reflected in the color scheme."

Relevance: Our gymnasium is a full-time school where students and teachers spend most of their time. Therefore, I want the color scheme to help maintain a good mood.

Novelty Such a study had never been carried out in our gymnasium before. We want to find out which colors create a positive mood and give recommendations on the use of these colors in the design of the gymnasium.

1.1 The effect of color on the human psyche and physiology
The sun, flora, water, sky, mountains, earth and colors associated with them in our imagination - this is the environment and color background that people constantly observed in their lives, which naturally took a certain place in it.

Red color.Penetrates deep into the human body. The feeling of warmth in red is purely psychological. It can create a sense of well-being in a person and accordingly influence his physiology. When exposed to a person, red rays increase tissue nutrition, activate metabolism and blood circulation. Their penetration into the human body increases muscle tension, increases blood pressure, speeds up the breathing rhythm, has a stimulating effect, causes emotional reactions, and stimulates the activity of the brain. This color is the color of fire and blood. He, as a rule, is associated with passion, struggle, active life, the highest tension. Wagner could only write music in red light, so his music is exciting. However, a person has a certain threshold of positive perception of the red color, beyond which he first over-excites, then suppresses, oppresses, leads to fatigue and overload of the nervous system, irritates, and finally, with prolonged influence, brings tangible harm, leads to a breakdown and general depression. In nervous people, especially in children, the color red causes strong sensory reactions and irritation.

Orange color.A hot, fiery color, excites, creates a feeling of warmth and joy, improves mood, but with intense exposure to a person it can cause irritation. Improves digestion, accelerates blood pulsation, but does not change blood pressure. Relieves eye pressure, heals migraines (within 10 minutes), creates a sense of well-being and fun, stimulates general well-being. In particular, it was noted that when a person is in red-orange lighting, headaches disappear and fatigue is relieved. After eating, the orange color creates a feeling of euphoria, like after drugs. Yellow and orange are dynamic colors and are used in executive offices; rooms facing north are tinted orange for a warm feeling.

Yellow.Sunny color with the greatest brightness; golden yellow is the funniest of all colors. Yellow color improves mood, creates a feeling of lightness, stimulates the brain, trains eyesight, has the ability to calm and relieve nervous tension (used in the treatment of psychoneurosis). Promotes the production of red blood cells, accelerates the growth of the child, increases his activity.

Green color.The color of the plant world, nature. Provides a feeling of freshness and moisture. Pain-relieving, hypnotizing color. It has a beneficial effect on a person, soothes: it releases the nervous system, lowers intraocular pressure, improves hearing, increases blood circulation, lowers blood pressure (dilates blood vessels), facilitates muscle activity, increases tone, creates a feeling of warmth. Green color is associated with the idea of ​​horizontal and with a sense of passivity, neutralizes the effects of noise, makes a person patient. Refreshes, reduces too bright sunlight in the room. Gives some rest to the mind. Disciplines the mind and body. A person, when his mind is overworked, instinctively chooses the blue sea for relaxation or the calming effects of greenery.

Blue.The color of the water and the sky gives the impression of freshness and calmness, it seems transparent, light, pushing the space apart (however, shades of blue, close to blue, dull perception, cause drowsiness, depress). Blue color reduces muscle tension, blood pressure, normalizes pulse and calms breathing, encourages thought, reminds of the world. It calms nervous people better than green. But with too long exposure it causes a feeling of fatigue, depression.

Blue color.Produces (like purple) a reaction opposite to red: it causes a feeling of passivity and depression, creates a feeling of coldness, lowers blood pressure, calms the pulse, regulates the rhythm of breathing, and reduces muscle tension.

Purple... Creates a feeling of heaviness, sadness, melancholic mood, a feeling of mental depression. It is no coincidence that poets often convey a state of melancholy through purple tones. The color is considered especially noble, as it causes sadness. Acts on the heart, lungs, increases their endurance. The violet rays contain the most electrochemical rays.

Brown color... Dark brown and reddish brown are soothing; they have a soporific effect on students in the classroom, but they can even cause depression, therefore, painting the walls in the classroom brown, it is advisable to add yellow or orange paint to remove this effect. Brown color has a negative effect on the psyche, causing a feeling of sadness. Light brown is the color of the Earth's energy.

White color.Causes sensations of coldness and discomfort. It is considered cold if it is not consumed with red, yellow, or orange flowers. White is a symbol of purity.

Grey colour.The dark gray color evokes sadness, gives the impression of colorlessness of the surface painted in this color.

Black color... The color is demonic, denying other colors and absorbing light. Symbolizes death and sorrow. Used in latent magic in order to obtain the effect of the "disappearance" of an object.

Pink color... It is a symbol of a pleasant, calm and happy life. "Pink" life is happiness, balance, primarily in the physical sense (it is no coincidence that the Japanese had a custom to insert pink plates into the eyes of someone who was ready to start a fight at any moment).

Color symbolism

Color symbolism has a long history. From time immemorial, people have attached special importance to reading the "language of colors", which is reflected in ancient myths, folk legends, fairy tales, various religious and mystical teachings. So, in astrology, the rays of the Sun, decomposed into a spectrum and giving 7 colors, corresponded to 7 main planets: red is the color of Mars, blue is the color of Venus, yellow is the color of Mercury, green is the color of Saturn, purple is the color of Jupiter, orange is the color of the Sun, purple is the color of the moon. At the same time, the paints symbolized not only the planets and their influence, but also the social position of people, their various psychological states. This manifested itself in the selection of clothes of certain colors, folk sayings, rituals, etc. Different peoples have developed a certain symbolism of paints that have survived to this day.

Red color.So, people from ancient times showed a special interest in the color red. In many languages, the same word means red and, in general, everything that is beautiful and beautiful. Among the Polynesians, the word "red" is synonymous with the word "beloved." In China, a sincere, frank person is said to be "red heart", while the heart of a bad, insidious person is black. Red is primarily associated with blood and fire. Its symbolic meanings are very diverse and, at times, contradictory. Red symbolizes joy, beauty, love and fullness of life, and on the other hand - enmity, revenge, war. Since ancient times, red has been associated with aggressiveness and sexual desires. Red is the primary heraldic color. On the banner, it symbolizes rebellion, revolution, struggle.

It is interesting that among many tribes in Africa, America and Australia, warriors, preparing for a battle, painted their bodies and faces red. The Carthaginians and Spartans wore red clothes during the war. In ancient China, the rebels called themselves "red warriors", "red spears", "red eyebrows". Red also denotes power, greatness. In Byzantium, only the empress had the right to wear red boots. The emperor signed in purple ink, sat on a purple throne. For many peoples, red symbolizes the south, flame and heat.

White colorsymbolizes purity, cleanliness, innocence, virtue, joy. It is associated with daylight, as well as the productive force that is embodied in milk and eggs. Whiteness is associated with the idea of ​​the obvious, generally accepted, legitimate, true. In ancient Rome, vestals wore white dresses and white veils. Since antiquity, white has meant detachment from the mundane, striving for spiritual simplicity. In the Christian tradition, white denotes kinship with divine light. Angels, saints and righteous are depicted in white. For some peoples, kings and priests wore white clothes, which symbolized solemnity and greatness. However, white can have the opposite meaning. By its nature, it seems to absorb, neutralize all other colors and correlates with emptiness, disembodiment, icy silence and, ultimately, with death.

The Slavs dressed the dead in white clothes and covered them with a white shroud. It is customary for some tribes in Africa and Australia to paint the body with white paint after the death of someone close to them. In China and in some other countries of Asia and Africa, white is the color of mourning. In the old days, white mourning was also used among the Slavs.

Black color, as a rule, symbolizes misfortune, grief, mourning, death. So, in ancient Mexico, during the ritual sacrifice of a person, the face and hands of the priests were painted black. Black eyes are still considered dangerous, envious. Sinister characters are dressed in black, the appearance of which portends death.

It is also believed that there is a connection between black color and sex appeal. In some African tribes, women with very black skin are highly regarded as lovers, but not as wives. Passion for love is shrouded in darkness and mystery; therefore, black can symbolize something intimate and passionately desired. Among the Arabs, the expression "blackness of eyes" means beloved, "blackness of heart" - love. Thus, black can also have a favorable meaning. It is perceived this way, for example, in the arid regions of Africa, where there is little water and black clouds promise fertility and abundance. Black bulls, goats or birds are sacrificed to the guardian spirits who send rain, and the priests also dress in black.

Yellow- the color of gold, which since ancient times was perceived as a frozen sunny color. It is the color of autumn, the color of ripe ears and withering leaves, but also the color of illness, death, the other world.

Among many peoples, women preferred yellow clothing. Often, yellow served as a distinctive feature of noble people and the upper classes. For example, Mongolian lamas wear yellow clothing with a red sash. On the other hand, among some peoples of Asia, yellow is the color of mourning, grief, sorrow. In Europe, a yellow or yellow-black flag stood for quarantine, and a yellow cross for plague. Among the Slavic peoples, yellow is considered the color of jealousy, betrayal, and in Tibet, jealousy is literally called “yellow eye”. Let us also recall the “yellow press” and the “yellow house”.

Blue colorfor many peoples it symbolizes heaven and eternity. It can also symbolize kindness, loyalty, constancy, disposition, and in heraldry it denotes chastity, honesty, glory and fidelity. "Blue blood" speaks of a noble birth.

In addition, blue is close to black and receives symbolic meanings similar to it. It was considered mourning in Ancient Egypt and among some peoples of South Africa. The French call horror “blue fear” (remember the tale of the “blue beard.” Among the Slavic peoples, blue served as the color of sorrow, grief, and was associated with the demonic world. Ancient legends describe black and blue demons.

Green - color of grass and leaves. For many peoples, it symbolizes youth, hope, fun, although sometimes - and immaturity, insufficient perfection. Green is extremely material and has a calming effect, but it can also produce a depressing impression (it is not by chance that melancholy is called "green", and the person himself "turns green" with anger).

The Iranians associate green with both rapid growth and freshness, and with misfortune, sadness, grief, therefore, they say about an unfortunate person "green foot", and about a cemetery - "green house". In medieval Europe, jesters wore green and yellow clothes, while bankrupts in Germany had to wear green hats.

The ancient symbolism of colors and their interpretation in various cultures is confirmed in modern theories of the relationship between color and emotional-volitional states not only of an individual, but also of whole communities. The correspondence of color and the dominant psychological state was studied by M. Luscher and other psychologists.

The use of color in the interior

In living rooms and rooms prepared for friends, it is necessary to avoid pale and too bright colors. It is not recommended to use sky blue, all shades of pomegranate, gold or cinnabar, soft pink and bottle green. Yellow and orange are dynamic colors. They are used in executive offices, boardrooms (these colors excite and facilitate mental work). In the West, all office spaces are painted exactly in the colors that usually symbolize a cold, calculating mind. Rooms facing north are dyed orange to create a warm feel, while rooms facing south use a refreshing blue.

In order for the room to seem pleasant to young and old, young men and women, when decorating it, it is necessary to use beige tones or yellow ocher, revived with yellow or orange chrome. These shades create a sense of warmth and harmony. Children who like to paint on the walls tend to lose their desire to draw on yellow wallpaper. It is recommended to use beige, cream and yellow tones for painting educational and industrial premises.

In sunny - orange, yellow and gold colors - it is good to dress babies; they promote the growth of children, stimulate their vitality and, to some extent, have a cleansing effect. The effect of yellow on a person on an airplane is as unfavorable as that of brown in seasickness. Yellow and orange colors relieve drowsiness and depression caused by brown. They are used in various fields to warn of danger, in particular, in quarantine departments in the fleet; in the past, the clothes of lepers were dyed yellow. They mark low beams, handles, movable and cutting parts of machine tools that are dangerous for people.

Red color.In public canteens, which are colored red or yellow, diners eat faster, which reduces queues. By painting restaurant halls yellow and red, you can achieve an increase in turnover. The red color of workshops is often the cause of production defects and accidents. Athletes who wear red glasses during competition achieve better results. Children associate red with harsh actions, so the wall near which the child usually sleeps and plays, like his toys, should not be red. Babies often cry when they see something red on the wall. The specificity of red is that it is difficult to see in low light.

Green color... The use of green does not lead to any harmful consequences. In institutions, light green has a calming effect on employees. Rooms for business meetings are painted in bright green (golden green); it calms and relaxes the nervous system, softens the effects of bright sunlight in the room. Dark green floors (such as in gyms) create a sense of balance and confidence. When eating, the blue and green tones of the interior do not promote appetite, while the greenish color when eating is simply unbearable. Excessive saturation of the surrounding background with light green color causes feelings of melancholy and fatigue. On airplanes and ships, green, like blue, can help calm and prevent nausea.

Blue.Operating rooms, as well as wards for patients suffering from insomnia and obsessions, are painted in this color. Nursing rooms are well painted yellow-blue. For institutions, the use of light blue is not recommended, because it causes drowsiness, and it is better to paint cash registers in blue - it soothes. In the dining room, this color has a depressing effect.

Blue color.A cold, piercing blue color is recommended for coloring passages in corridors, as it does not cause the desire to linger in them. In order to somewhat weaken the impression of coldness produced on a person by blue walls, it is advisable to paint the floors in these corridors in warm colors.

Brown color. Dark brown and reddish brown colors are calming, but can also cause depression, so when using these colors you should add yellow or orange paint. Brown absorbs a lot of light, so it is not recommended for staining industrial premises; to neutralize it, you should use pomegranate, gold, tobacco or silver colors.

White color.In canteens, restaurants, white makes a much more favorable impression than any other. Since white has the highest reflection coefficient (it is best seen), it is most often used for painting cars, marking steps, etc. It is no coincidence that in industrial premises all steps, protruding beams, etc. are painted white or yellow ... It evokes a sense of cleanliness, but at the same time - aloofness, as, for example, the white color of hospital wards, associations with which can cause unpleasant sensations for passengers even in the most comfortable cabins painted in this color. Items painted white heat up less than others and take longer to cool.

Grey colour.Compared to other colors, it is almost invisible (its reflection coefficient is 30%), therefore it should not be used for painting cars, their moving parts. Neutral gray is preferable in rooms for expositions of all kinds of samples, exhibits, stands, showcases, etc.

Black color.Black itself is depressing, but can be widely used to create contrasts; absorbs heat well.

As V. Van Gogh wrote: “colors in themselves express something”. In other words, color is not a "blank board" on which a person is free to write down whatever he wants. Color causes certain and specific changes in the human mental world, the interpretation of which gives rise to what we call color associations and symbols, impressions of color. As A.F. Losev (1991): “no one ever perceives color without these and similar impressions ... red color causes excitement, it is he, and not ourselves. Excitement is his objective property. " To repeat the hackneyed comparison, we can say that color symbolism is just the tip of the iceberg of all those interconnections and relationships between color and the human psyche. It is based on the objective laws of color impact on humans.

When you come home, having changed into your home clothes, see what you have put on. Is it your robes and old tracksuits that spoil family relationships? In the morning, leaving the house, do not be lazy to put on a bright scarf, or at least attach a small bright detail to your suit. Find a blouse or shirt in a lighter color that matches the season. Perhaps, going out into the street, we will not see then the writhing dark gray faceless mass. And in communication and work, success and prosperity will await us.

1.2. Research methodology
Mood exploration through student and teacher color choices.

I conducted a mood survey in our gymnasium. This is the place where I study. Our school has 180 students and 41 teachers.

At the preparatory stage of work on the project, I drew up a plan of practical measures. In total, I conducted five surveys of teachers and students: two surveys on November 12, 2012, two more surveys on November 14, 2012, and survey No. 5 on November 18, 2012.

As a basis for the practical part of the project, I chose the survey methodology described in the "Workshop on psychological games with children and adolescents" edited by M. Bityanova. The methodology described in the literature included two surveys of students and teachers “What mood are you in today at school?”, One of which is conducted in the morning and the other in the evening. I made changes to the methodology: I increased the number of polls "What mood are you in today at school?" up to four and added the poll "What mood does this color represent?"

Description of the method

1. First, I prepared a school-wide survey box. This is a cardboard box. It has six colored, slotted sections, separated inside by cardboard dividers. Each section has its own color: red, yellow, gray, green, blue, black. Outside, the box is covered with colored paper.

2. I cut a lot of small squares and rectangles out of white paper - these are pieces of paper for the survey participants.

3. In order to increase the interest of the children, to increase the number of those wishing to participate in our survey, I prepared and placed in the class a poster with a multi-colored inscription “What mood are you in today when going to school?”.

4. On the day of the first survey, November 15, we arrived at school very early. Early in the morning, on the doorstep of the school, I greeted everyone with a smile, handed each a small white square of paper, held out a multi-colored box, offered to participate in the action.

5. The instruction for everyone was the same: "Please put this square in the slot, the color of which corresponds to your mood now." We marked the white squares of the teachers with the letter "U" so that later we could compare the moods of students and teachers.

6. When everyone took part in the action, I counted the number of white squares in each colored part of the box separately for students and teachers) and entered the data into the table

7. The empty box was ready to be interviewed. On November 15 in the evening I waited for several hours and interviewed schoolchildren and teachers leaving home. Then we calculated the results of the poll # 2.

8. At the end of the week, Friday 18.11. 2012, I repeated the survey procedure in the morning and in the evening. The results were recorded in tables

9. With the help of Excel, using the data obtained, I built diagrams that allowed me to visually see the results of the survey.

10. We analyzed the results, identified the dynamics in the election of the respondents, and correlated them with the symbolic meaning of color.

11. The composition of the respondents remained unchanged. The instructions were the same for everyone. And the number of white squares in the colored parts of the box after each survey was different. But the data from this survey was not enough for me. It was not clear what each color meant for our teachers and students in the gymnasium. To find out, we prepared and conducted a survey # 5 "What mood does this color mean?"

12. The working group developed a survey form for students and teachers of the school, on which each had to write what the color means for him: red, yellow, green, blue, gray, black.

13. The results of teachers and students were calculated separately. I divided a large group of students into 4 subgroups according to age and gender:

"Middle class boys"

"High school boys"

"Middle class girls"

"High school girls."

We summarized and classified the students' answers.

14. Using the Excel program, using the data obtained, I built diagrams that allowed me to visually see with what mood the students and teachers associate this or that color).

15. Then I analyzed the results of all surveys, indicators of the positive and negative attitudes of people towards each color, correlated the results with the materials on this topic presented in the literature and made conclusions.

16. Prepared a presentation which included the design of two posters with eight color diagrams based on the survey "What mood are you in today when going to school?" and three information sheets of A-4 format based on the results of the survey "What mood does color mean?"

1.3. Research results

The practical part of the work of my project included two types of polls: polls # 1 - # 4 "What mood are you in today at school?" and poll # 5 "What mood does color mean?" Since in order to analyze the mood of schoolchildren and teachers it is important to know what meaning they put in one color or another, I first analyzed survey # 5.

Results of the poll # 5 "What mood does color mean?"
We processed the survey results by groups:

color perception by middle school students,

perception of color by high school students.

At the same time, in each group, we separately analyzed the perception of each color by boys and girls. The analysis takes into account the opinion of the teachers. I analyzed the survey results for each color.

Before you test "MAGIC OF COLOR"-

positive positive calm calm sad negative

Red. In general, red is perceived primarily as positive. Upon a more detailed analysis, we noticed that the attitude of the school staff towards this color is ambiguous and even contradictory. This is the color of a very good mood, and the color of aggression, and the color of love. In boys, the perception of red as a symbol of aggression is already noted in the middle grades and grows with age.Positive perception of color is more pronounced in girls and tends to decrease with age. The most negative perception of red as a symbol of danger and aggression is noted in adults. Teachers are very wary of the color red.

Grey. Middle school girls and female educators generally perceive gray as a symbol of a sad, indifferent mood. At the same time, girls in junior and middle grades perceive gray unambiguously. High school students and teachers also see gray as a sign of calmness. This means the perception of gray as a calm color increases with age. It is curious that boys predominantly perceive gray as a symbol of sadness, grief, indifference.A positive perception of gray is very doubtful for us. I did not find any tendency in the perception of gray as a positive color. Most of the respondents perceived gray as the color of the negative.

Yellow. The school staff perceives the yellow color as a symbol of a good, cheerful mood. For girls, yellow is 100 percent positive. For educators, partly yellow is associated with a calm mood. But basically all female representatives associate yellow as a very joyful and positive color. The boys are not so unanimous. Most consider yellow to be the color of good mood. But many high school students perceive the color yellow as a symbol of lies, betrayal, and a boring mood.

Green. In general, green is perceived as the color of a good, calm mood. Generally, green is perceived as positive by the respondents. Only a small part of middle school students and a small part of teachers do not agree with the opinion of the majority. For them, green is the color of negativity: boredom, bad mood. As girls grow older, there is a tendency to perceive the color green as a symbol of good mood. On the whole, this tendency continues among women teachers. At the same time, a greater number of surveyed girls and women perceive the green color as the color of calmness and pacification. All high school boys perceive green as the color of calm. Most boys of the middle classes associate green with a good mood.

Blue. The perception of blue for the respondents is mainly associated with a positive. For girls at school and for female teachers, blue is generally associated with a calm mood. It is curious that none of the students perceives blue as the color of good mood. And only one third of female educators associate blue with good mood. But in boys, with age, there is a tendency to perceive blue as the color of calm. In the middle grades, blue is perceived ambiguously by boys: both as bad and as good. By the senior grades, boys become solidarity in relation to the color blue: blue is the color of calm.

Black... Black is perceived as negative by most of the respondents. For middle-aged schoolgirls, black is a symbol of a sad, sad mood. In this, women teachers are in solidarity with them. Middle-class girls perceive black as the color of an aggressive mood.The perception of black becomes ambiguous in high school (50%). At the same time, the perception of black as positive is more pronounced among males and tends to grow with increasing age. Black, as a symbol of good mood, is noted in several high school girls. For most boys, black is a symbol of a sad, sad mood.

"What mood are you in school today?"

Results of four polls "What mood are you in school today?" I processed quantitatively.

I compared the results and found out the dynamics of the elections in each group.

At the beginning of the week, schoolchildren came mainly with a "red" and "green" mood. By the evening, the number of “red” moods decreased (-11), while schoolchildren with “yellow” moods increased (+13). Blue and green positions decreased slightly (-3). The dynamics in the “gray” mood is noticeable: by the evening it increased (+3). Color dynamics reflected in the diagram

Start of day: End of day:

Based on the symbolism of color, the meaning of color according to M. Luscher, we can conclude that Monday, November 12, was a good day for most students. The activity and strength of the red color by the end of the day transformed into decisions made, which brought a feeling of liberation at the end of the school day and a good mood. The romantic mood of schoolchildren has somewhat decreased, signs of fatigue and fatigue have appeared.

At the end of the school week, schoolchildren bright colors prevailed in the morning. During the school day, bright mood colors dropped their positions: red (-8), green (-7), yellow (-5). By the end of the day, “black” mood on Friday doubled (+15). The dynamics of the gray color also shows an increase (+4). However, the positions of red and yellow remained leading.

Start of day: End of day:

Based on the black symbolism, we assume that Friday, November 17 for 30% of schoolchildren was more stressful, unpleasant, a day of grief and disappointment. At the end of the week, the students were tired and frustrated with the results of the school day.

We then analyzed the mood of the teachers based on their color choices.

At the beginning of the teacher's week came mainly in a "yellow" and "green" mood. During the day, the yellow positions have significantly strengthened (+12), the green ones weakened (- 11). As if the calm, even mood of some of the teachers became cheerful and joyful during the day. Positions of "black" sentiment during the day went to zero (-7). Greyscale values ​​have increased (+6). The dynamics of red and blue was insignificant: red (-3), blue (+3). On the whole, the day for the school teachers was favorable and positive. By the end of the day, a small number of teachers felt tired.

Start of day: End of day:

At the end of the teacher's week came to school mostly in a “green” mood (56%). By the end of the day, green was still the leader of the day, but its positions significantly decreased (-22). On this day, the “red” mood was 10%. This is the smallest indicator of red in all four color-to-mood surveys. During the day, the positions of the “red” sentiment strengthened (+5). Growth by the end of the day and indicators of "yellow" (+8). Black in teacher elections decreased (-6). Gray on this day gave the greatest dynamics among all the dynamics of gray (+12). On the whole, the day was calm for the teachers. But about 10% of teachers experienced increased stress that day and were very tired by the end of the day, which was reflected in the dynamics of the choice of gray. And the other 10% of teachers received a boost of vivacity, activity and good mood during the day and increased their red color indicators.

Start of day: End of day:

As a result, I saw that at the beginning of the week a good mood was predominant for the entire team: for both schoolchildren and teachers. At the end of the week, there is a greater number of elections that speak of tension, aggression, sadness, sadness, fatigue.

After analyzing all the data obtained, I developed recommendations for the color design of the school.

Based on a more positive perception by the school staff of green, yellow, blue, red, it is advisable to use it in the festive decoration of the assembly hall and school line.

In the classrooms, in the lobby, create green corners with a large number of plants, since green is very positively perceived by the respondents.

It is advisable to use yellow in the design of the stands, "Class Corners". The use of yellow should be reasonable and moderate, since most of the respondents perceive it not only as the color of good mood, but also as the color of fun and heightened emotionality.

The use of blue in the design of offices and halls is encouraged. In this case, it is better to use light shades of blue.

Conclusion

Determining what each color means, I got the following results.

Red.Red color is perceived ambiguously by different people by the school staff. Positive perception of color is more pronounced in girls than in boys and tends to decrease with age. The most negative perception of red as a symbol of danger and aggression is noted in adults.

Grey.A positive perception of gray is very doubtful for me. I did not find any tendency in the perception of gray as a positive color. Most of the respondents perceive gray as the color of negativity: sadness, fatigue, and indifference.

Yellow.The school staff perceives this color as a symbol of a good, cheerful mood. For girls, yellow is 100 percent positive. But many young men perceive the color yellow as a symbol of lies and boring mood.

Green.In general, green is perceived as the color of a good, calm mood. This is a positive color. Only a small part of primary school students and a small part of teachers see boredom and bad mood in green.

Blue.The perception of blue for the respondents is mainly associated with a positive. For girls at school and for female teachers, blue is generally associated with a calm mood. It is curious that none of the students perceives blue as the color of good mood.

Black.Black is perceived as negative by most of the respondents. For middle school girls, black is a symbol of a sad, sad mood. In this, women teachers are in solidarity with them. They perceive black as the color of an aggressive mood. The perception of black as positive is more pronounced in males and tends to grow with increasing age.

During research and analysis of resultsI came to the conclusion:
The choice of color by survey participants is related to mood. The change in students' mood towards the end of the school week led to a change in color choice.

Before starting the research, I hypothesized that mood and color in teachers and students are interrelated. According to the results of the study, we can say that our hypothesis has been confirmed.

Influence of color on a person

Let's take a closer look at the effect of different colors on a person's mood and well-being. Red is a very energetic and restless shade. It can easily create a certain uplift in the mood, but at the same time it contributes to very rapid irritation of the nervous system. Usually reduces the ability to work, affects the increase in blood pressure, and quickens breathing. Therefore, these colors are usually not recommended for residential use.

This should include the active synthesis of vitamin D, an increase in hemoglobin, an improvement in the general metabolism of the body. Unfortunately, the number of such sunny days in our country is very small. Indeed, literally several months of spring and summer can boast of such weather, the rest of the year we are forced to observe cloudy gray days, sometimes with rain or snow. This is our climate. Because of this, the number of nervous diseases and depressions in our country is greater than in the inhabitants of warmer climatic zones. Many leading designers and even doctors recommend performing at least some of the living spaces in warm, soft colors. These colors and shades are vital for us and our body for proper functioning. Therefore, under appropriate climatic conditions, we should at least artificially create the color environment we need.

Let's take a look at some practical tips for choosing the best color solutions for your home decor.

• To visually reduce the size of the room, use dark, contrasting colors.
• On the other hand, light colors will make the room taller and larger.
• Wallpaper with vertical patterns makes the room look taller than it really is.
• To enliven a room or give it a variety, you should select the colors of curtains, floor lamps or pillows in contrast to the main tones of the room.
• The choice of color shades for each room should be approached individually, taking into account the needs and age of the people who will live there. For example, for a children's room it is better to choose a bright and contrasting palette, and for rooms with elderly people - calm and soft colors.
• To emphasize or highlight certain parts of the interior, additional lighting is usually used. This can be green lighting for relaxation areas or blue lighting for bathrooms.
• State of the art phosphor paints that reflect ultraviolet light can be used to create stunning compositions.
• To create soft and compatible shades, you can use special paints containing several colors that do not mix with each other. When using such paints, it is important to remember that it is advisable to include the color of the furniture in the room or other shades in harmony with it in the color palette used. Then the room will create a sense of completeness and tranquility.

All of the above tips can really help you create a truly cozy and comfortable home corner, but the process of choosing the perfect solutions in terms of interior and color is still quite laborious and complicated. That is why it is recommended to contact specialists and experienced designers in these matters for advice.

Nice colors and good mood!

Choosing paints for the interior, buying clothes or surrounding himself with other things, a person, first of all, focuses on their shade. It depends on him whether the owner will feel comfortable and confident. According to color preferences, psychologists can even determine the nature of a person and her inclinations. Why do some feel good, giving preference to dull tones, while others emit rich, saturated shades?

The fact is that every person perceives the world in his own way: some feel positive from communicating with people, while others try to close and not flaunt their emotions, confidence coexists with indecision, and calmness with unrestraint. And in order to maintain harmony in their souls, each of them, without even studying the influence of color on a person's mood, intuitively guesses the color that will correctly reflect his inner perception in resonance with the emotions experienced.

Two opposites: white and black - these colors, like yin and yang, complement each other in any ensemble. The first personifies calmness and peace, the innocence of the soul and the clarity of thoughts. Some cultures use it in wedding ceremonies, others put on white, seeing off the dead on their last journey. In both cases, it displays purity of thoughts and submission to the inevitable.

Black, on the other hand, symbolizes protest and denial of the existing order. The people who put it on do not agree to sit back and resign themselves to fate without resistance. They try to oppose the phenomena around them with their inner strength and firmness. Black is also considered the color of secrecy and incomprehensibility, therefore, people who keep secrets and do not want to show their feelings are preferred to it - it is not for nothing that it is worn by adherents and ministers of various faiths.

Those who wear blue clothes strive to restrain their impulses and find peace and harmony in life. Light shades are used in bedroom decor - they are great for relieving stress and getting ready for bed. Dark ones emphasize intelligence and developed thinking, which is why blue suits are used by office workers.

Close to his spectrum, but far from his emotional perception, purple indicates extravagance and romance, mixed with disappointment. It is worn by creative personalities with a fine nervous organization, whose elation is interspersed with periods of decline and despondency.

The influence of color on a person's mood is highly dependent on its shades. So, indigo, located between blue and purple, has similarities with both. He is chosen by people with developed intuition and a penchant for introspection. Often in them the rudiments of extrasensory abilities are found. A person who adheres to this color is not tuned to constancy, but to the stable development of his personal characteristics.

Green is associated with the origin of life and harmony with nature. Looking at it, even for a short time, you can feel peace of mind, while those who prefer it in clothing and interior never part with peace.

Red is the color of aggression; in small quantities it is used to excite and maintain a fighting spirit. Women emphasize their sexuality to them, men - leadership.

Yellow is loved by those who are always in a good mood and do not lack communication. He, like a ray of sunshine, awakens in those around him the desire to smile and make new acquaintances.

The mixture of red and yellow has resulted in the appearance of orange, which causes a powerful intellectual lift and long-term performance. Adding white innocence to the shade of blood turned the color of anger and violence into pink - the color of love and femininity.

Discreet brown and gray are too dull to express vivid emotions, but they are popular with people who rely on down-to-earthness and reliability. Their unshakable conservatism is smoothed out by a sense of responsibility and measure in everything.

Having learned how color affects mood, a person will begin to acquire appropriate things in his wardrobe, thereby adjusting his emotional background. And the right combination of them will help to establish communication with others and your own impression of life.
