Art Academy - William Morris (Upper Key Stage 2)

William Morris is an Art and Design unit of work aimed primarily at children aged 9-11. The unit consolidates, develops and deepens children’s understanding of the technique of printmaking and sculpture through the work of the Victorian artist and designer William Morris. The package provides the medium term plan, six lessons (each lesson has a MS Powerpoint presentation) and a knowledge organiser. Any additional resources are provided as PDFs.
Strands of Learning:

• Drawing
• Painting
• Sculpture
• Printmaking
  Children study and create illuminated letter designs that are then realised as a clay bas relief sculpture. They then study the wallpaper designs of William Morris to understand motifs as the central part of patterned designs. They design their own motifs and use them in a variety of relief printmaking activities.
  This unit of work is part of the Art Academy Scheme of Work for children aged 5-11 being developed on behalf of Carousel Education.
