SCHOOLHOUSE 16X24 PASTEL ON UART SANDED PASTEL PAPER
In the gentle fade of twilight, old schoolhouses stand as fading monuments to a bygone era—a time when community and learning intertwined beneath one humble roof. Time-worn wooden walls and creaking floors quietly echo the laughter, earnest chatter, and determined scribbles of generations past, each forgotten desk a testament to the spirit of discovery. Yet as modernity reshapes the horizon, these intimate relics are slowly disappearing, leaving behind fragmented memories of an age when education was a communal ritual and every lesson was etched in handwritten notes on aged chalkboards. Their gradual vanishing is more than an architectural loss—it’s the quiet erasure of cultural history and the tender rekindling of simple dreams.
There’s a bittersweet beauty in remembering these quaint classrooms of the past, and each one lost serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between progress and preservation.
