- Description
-
Photographs housed with this negative sleeve are related to others from a sleeve labeled "Carolyn's negatives." The photographs are visually and thematically similar. In addition, both sleeves contained photographs of Santa Monica High School structures built between 1937 and 1939 by the Works Project Administration (WPA). Both sleeves also included construction site images, likely related to the WPA’s reconstruction project (image ark nos. 21198/zz002d8j8h and 198/zz002d8k9h).
Photograph of students in an art classroom at Santa Monica High School. Several students work on their canvases while a few direct their gazes toward the camera. Two students (one obscured) work on a Spanish-themed mural that is stretched across a blackboard. One of these students is a young woman, seen with paint brush in hand, turned with her gaze toward an older woman wearing a wide brimmed hat. She looks toward the camera. The students (and parent?) were photographed by Carolyn Bartlett.
