M/S of three boys mixing paints in a schoolroom; pan left to show two other boys at work on a large mural of fishermen at work. One of the boys is sketching a boat from the original design on an easel beside him. C/U of the other boy painting on a section of the mural. M/S of the paint mixing boys; C/U of one who is mixing red paint on a palette. Commentator tells us they mix their own oil paints by grinding school chalk paints in oil and turps.

M/S of the art teacher, Mr Somers-Yeates, and Mr Hughes, the headmaster of the school, standing before a large mural the boys created earlier. Very impressive; it shows a medieval court scene.
