Growing up in London-Page 5. Mixed media.
A page of things I remember not liking. About the school bit...I'm recalling when I was about age 7, so I'd have been at Junior school. I definitely remember there were a few old teachers who wore black gowns, and who were very strict. The younger teachers didn't wear gowns...odd...I wonder if my memory is playing tricks with me. Maybe after the war, there was a shortage of teachers, and they got some old boys out of retirement. I'll never know. But I remember them, and the fact that they gave out 'lines' for almost any minor fault. It's telling that I can't remember much about the nicer younger teachers, but do remember these old boys who scared us kids.
About the Artist
Lewis Cooper
Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
