For our second main project of the year we are doing a live project for Barnsley Civic. The topic is William Morris and we have to produce a meter of wallpaper or a canvas with an Artist of our choice and combine the two. 

William Morris 


William Morris born 24th March 1834- 3rd October 1896 was an English textile designer and a social activist. He is known for being associated with the British Arts and Crafts Movement. His work was one of kind, no one had ever seen anything like it. He created beautiful patterns, using images of flowers and nature, he would create repeat patterns which would be made into wallpaper. 


For my second Artist i have chose Peter Blake, he is a British Artist who looks at Pop Art and has even designed album covers for The Beatles. 


All of his work is very quirky and unique which is what i liked about it.
