Function V: Pleasure
Classroom Setting Strategies Nos. 20 and 21
Classroom Setting Strategy No. 20: Add aesthetically pleasing elements.
In addition to elements of softness (as mentioned in strategy No. 3), soft lighting, plants, warm colors, banners, bulletin board displays, photos, and posters are all ways to add to the aesthetics of the classroom. Because individuals differ in what they find pleasing, include students' thoughts and ideas in your classroom design.
Classroom Setting Strategy No. 21: Unclutter your classroom.
Just as adding pleasing elements helps a room's aesthetics, getting rid of things can also enhance its appeal. Too much "stuff" crowding shelves, bulletin boards, and tables can be overstimulating and may cause the room to feel chaotic and disorganized. Find the balance between having a barren, sterile environment and a crowded, cluttered environment.
