The school incorporates a lot of natural light and has all updated materials in excellent condition. The Lea school is about 30 years old and, like many Philadelphia public schools, lacks adequate facility funding. Many of the materials and building are outdated and deteriorating.
Students at Penn Alex were significantly more positive than students at Lea regarding their school and rated wall color, variety of wall color, amount of lighting, amount of art work on display, personally having art work on display, overall appearance of the school, peers opinion of overall appearance, and elements that should be changed all higher. In addition, Penn Alex students had more positive attitudes including proud to show visitors, school makes them feel good, school appearance is not distracting, adults care about how the school looks, appearance is fine the way it is, and feelings of responsibility for taking care of the school. Students at both schools preferred brighter o paler colors and thought that displayed art work made the school look better.

Throughout his work, Kandinsky was obsessed with almost paradoxical contrast, as though any statement of a "fact" has inherent inconsistencies with reality. In Yellow-Red-Blue, this is exemplified in the moods and suggestions of representation created by primarily the colors used, and secondarily the
Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data. The results revealed that participants had stronger positive feelings about the words that were in yellow vs. The same words that were in brown. The words in brown averaged a "4," so the respondents still recognized the word as somewhat positive. Both males and females scored the yellows similarly, and males scored the brown higher than girls. DISCUSSION The results of this study suggest
