Year 3 visit William Morris Gallery

Year Three went on a fantastic trip to the William Morris Art Gallery. We took the 275 bus to Walthamstow and then had a five minutes walk to the gallery.




 When we first arrived we went to a room and saw lots of wallpaper designs. They were of beautiful flowers and leaves. We sketched some of the wallpaper designs in our sketch books, this was tricky because they were really complicated and full of great detail. 





Across the hall there were even more pictures that he had created. There was an enormous picture of  William Morris hanging in the gallery.
 We had the opportunity to complete some stone rubbings, this was amazing as the designs were clear on our sheets, it was just like William Morris had designed it.
 They created a beautiful pattern on the paper. Also in that room there was some of his old furniture from the Victorian Times, it was very different to ours. We all had a really enjoyable time at the gallery.
