“I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.”
These were the words of artist and poet, William Morris whose beautiful work we have been studying in 2KJ. He was born in 1834 in East London and believed in a fair society for all and he had an early appreciation for the beauty of nature. We noticed this in his artwork, which was very floral, so we created pictures based on his wonderful designs. First, we chose a colourwash base and then, once dry, we added symmetrical flower patterns using crayon pastels. We have also been busy making coil clay pots which we aim to glaze and decorate using our flower pictures for inspiration. This art and craft is linked to our Unit of Enquiry on how things change as they grow.
