Student Sample:

Option 2-

I have chosen William Morris. He was an English painter, designer, and writer. As I researched his work, I realized he has done so many artworks in many aspects. To name a few he has painted La Belle Iseult, he has designed the red house and the green dining room, created textile designs like the Strawberry thief, and more. His work was also designed with his partner Philip Webb. He started combining words and images in the expression of his vision. He also made hand-painted manuscripts. He included words on hanging tapestry. He included multimedia on art pieces. His specific painting La Belle was of his soon-to-be wife however, he did not complete this famous painting. He designed his very own Red House. He used specific red bricks and British trees and flowers to his liking. He also includes a green room in this home with the artist Webb, and he included floral and geometric design. His artwork named the Strawberry Thief is a textile design of fabric attempted to be used as a curtain. Specifically, his work including words and images made a great change. His work is well known and has an interest in many. Morris not only made paintings, but he also combined his design in all his work. Morris stated, “If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” He very much believed in the design and his life revolved around his designs.
