A woman wearing a cross-patterned shirt and holding a paintbrush, Mine Okubo teaches a disorderly elementary school art class in Tanforan. She stands in the right midground and looks over her shoulder at two girls who appear to be fighting. Three rows of desks seat ten children painting with watercolors. Each student has his own set of paints, water cup, paper, and brush. Two boys in the front row paint on each other.
