Did you know William Morris was born in Walthamstow, East London? Year 4 have been learning about the artist and designer this half term. He had a love of nature, and this was reflected in his beautiful pattern work. He became very famous for his wallpaper patterns and soft furnishings. He made art accessible to all. In fact, you can still see his designs on wallpaper and fabric today.
Year 4 explored his work, nature, and made their own repeated block print pattern – working in much the same way as William Morris did.
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
William Morris, 1834-1896
