COLORING TIPS- for the Muscolino and the in-class handouts

     If you decide to use coloring at a study method, I highly suggest that you use one color to 'highlight' the origin and another for the insertion of each muscle, and a third for the body of the muscle.    In class, I will use Orange for Origins [Origin = ­Orange, get it?] and Indigo for Insertions [something purple, at any rate], and to give yourself consistency, and a break, and to make it easier for your brain and learning processes, I suggest you do the same.  If for some reason you don't use orange and purple, the origins should all be one color, and the insertions should all be a different single color.  The muscles should be different colors from each other, and from the O & I's.  That way, when you look at the pictures, you will automatically see where the origin/insertion is for each muscle, and in the picture with more than one muscle, you will see the relationship of the muscles to each other.
