Art Day in 4 White 🎨

To start the day, we researched the artist William Morris who was one of the most influential designers of the the 19th century. We then created a poster to showcase our findings.

Next, we went on to do some observational drawings. We took inspiration from William Morris by studying and drawing nature.

Inspired by William Morris and using our observational drawings, we designed and created leaf prints.

Keep an eye on this blog to see our final piece of artwork!
