Classroom photo

Title: Classroom photo
Description: This photograph shows an art classroom, spacious and open and most likely located in the Manual Training building of the former campus in downtown Rochester. At the time classes were segregated by gender with women in one class and men in another. This classroom shown is most likely a drawing from life class utilizing plaster molds of humans and other figures to aid students in drawing. Even today classes include drawings from life even with actual models standing in.
