1950s Chair Classroom Education Uniform Paints Plait Teaching
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to May 1956 at Lancastrian Infants School in Chichester. The image captures a heartwarming scene of three young girls fully immersed in an art lesson. Seated side by side on small wooden chairs, they wear their pristine school uniforms with pride. Each girl's hair is neatly tied up in plaits, adorned with bows that match the colors of their vibrant paintings. The classroom buzzes with creativity as the girls diligently work at their desks, brushes in hand and palettes filled with an array of paints before them. Their focused expressions reveal a deep sense of concentration and eagerness to learn. This snapshot not only encapsulates a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes the importance of education during the 1950s. It serves as a reminder of the dedication shown by both teachers and students alike within these walls. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Chichester Photographic Collection, this photograph stands as a testament to the power of art education and its ability to foster imagination, self-expression, and personal growth among young minds. As we gaze upon this charming image from over six decades ago, it reminds us that despite changing times and advancements in technology, some things remain timeless – like the joyous pursuit of knowledge through artistic endeavors.
