Back to School

Sorry for the poor image quality. I don’t have a scanner, so I had to take a picture.

This image shows some common elements that you might see in 1967 teenager’s room: a “lava lamp” lamp, American flag, peace sign, flowers, a poster of a popular activist/musician such as John Lennon. You might also see As is obvious, I don’t draw very well, and I didn’t know how to sketch shag carpet.

In a mid-1970s teenager’s room, these elements would have been replaced with posters of disco bands such as KC & The Sunshine Band or Earth, Wind and Fire and other references to the disco culture. There would likely be bell bottom pants and button-up shirts with large, dramatic sleeves and collars in the closet, typical dress for the disco world.
