EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to May 1956 at Lancastrian Infants School in Chichester. The image, captured by the talented members of the Chichester Photographic Society, offers a glimpse into an art class brimming with creativity and youthful energy. The classroom is adorned with vibrant artwork adorning the walls, showcasing the students' artistic endeavors. A clock on the wall reminds us that time is ticking away as these young minds immerse themselves in their craft. Seated around a large table are eager school children engrossed in their projects, each armed with paintbrushes and pots of color. The girls can be seen wearing neatly pressed dresses and pigtails while boys sport smart shirts and shorts - a reflection of the fashion trends of that era. The chairs they sit on seem almost too big for their small frames but do not deter them from expressing themselves artistically. A time chart hangs nearby, perhaps serving as both inspiration and guidance for these budding artists. It symbolizes not only their dedication to learning but also highlights how education was valued even during simpler times. This remarkable photograph provides us with a nostalgic window into a bygone era when art classes were filled with innocence, curiosity, and boundless imagination. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office Ref No: CPS0567-17, it serves as a testament to the enduring power of education and its ability to shape young lives regardless of time or place.
