William Morris

William Morris (1834-1896), artist, philosopher and political theorist, was one of the most outstanding and influential designers of the Arts and Crafts Movement and through his company, Morris & Co., he produced some of the most fashionable and exciting textiles and wallpapers.

 Morris image has been broken down with lines, which form a light looking grid. The lines make the image look like a jigsaw puzzle. The image consists of flowers and leaves. The stem of the flowers are curving, which makes the eye follow up the image. Morris has used colours that would normally be on a flower or leaf, Green (different shades of green) White, blue and brown. I like this because It's different, the colours go will and nothing is standing out to much. The colours sink in well together.

Morris has made this image mirror like, the birds are back to back. The colours that Morris has used are, blue, brown, white and green. The image consists of birds, flowers and stems. I love the pattern because it's full of detail. The texture is smooth.

Morris has a plain cream background, which makes the bright flowers stand out. I like the random layout, it looks like it should be in a garden. He has used, white, orange, purple and red. The back ground has little rigid lines. I love the colours, but I'm not to keen on the paleness.
