1950s Chair Education Pupils Uniform Paints
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1956, we are transported back to Lancastrian Infants School in Chichester. The image captures a heartwarming scene of school children engrossed in an art lesson. Each child is seated at their desk, adorned in their neat and tidy uniforms, eagerly exploring the world of creativity. The classroom is filled with an air of excitement as these young pupils dip their brushes into vibrant pots of paint. With focused expressions on their faces, they carefully apply strokes onto paper, bringing colorful pictures to life. The room is alive with imagination and artistic exploration. The photograph not only showcases the educational aspect but also highlights the importance placed on fostering creativity during that era. It serves as a reminder of the value placed on arts education within schools during the 1950s. Preserved by the Chichester Photographic Society Collection and now held by West Sussex Record Office, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where learning was centered around traditional desks and chairs rather than modern technology. This remarkable image encapsulates the essence of childhood innocence and curiosity while providing us with a nostalgic window into education practices from over six decades ago.
