EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The High Street is their classroom" we are transported back to the morning of May 25,1955. The image captures a unique moment in time when the Boys Country Secondary School of Edenbridge, Kent, took their art class outside the confines of their traditional classroom. As we gaze at the picture, we see a group of schoolboys eagerly engaged in their studies on location. With sketchbooks and pencils in hand, they sit on the pavement along the bustling High Street. Surrounded by quaint shops and passersby going about their daily routines, these young learners find inspiration amidst everyday life. This snapshot beautifully encapsulates the essence of education - an exploration that extends beyond textbooks and four walls. It reminds us that learning can happen anywhere if one has an open mind and a thirst for knowledge. The boys' focus is palpable as they diligently work on honing their artistic skills under the watchful eye of their teacher. They immerse themselves in capturing scenes from urban life with precision and creativity. "The High Street is their classroom" serves as a timeless reminder that education knows no boundaries or limitations. It celebrates the power of experiential learning and highlights how even ordinary surroundings can become extraordinary sources of inspiration for young minds eager to explore new horizons.
