In Year 5 the children studied the work of LS Lowry

Introduction by Moosa L.S. Lowry was a well known

artist who was born on the 1st of November 1887 Stretford, Lancashire and sadly died on the 23rd of February 1976.He was an amazing English artist who just had a passion for art.

He is famous for drawing and painting everyday things such as people walking and buildings in the back ground. First he began to draw pictures of were he lived and as he did this he made him self a decent career

LifeBefore Lowry was born his mom used to be a teacher

and was quite good at it, but soon after he was born his mother suddenly became sick and gave up teaching. Lowry had a tough father therefore he became a very firm man who could stand up to himself in problems.

Lowry never got to enjoy life till he grew up because he had a sick mom a strict dad and a lot of pressure. Lowry was a smart kid but not outstanding . He was usually a good boy and was always obedient. Lowry's mom wasn't too found of him till he grew bigger because his mom was hoping for a girl but soon enough the two were laughing and joking.

EducationLowry made a lot of friends at school and was an okay

learner. Surprisingly his journey started here because he took private art lessons and he soon found that he had something for art. This little coincidence made him famous over nearly 12 countries.

Lowry had another strict life in school because back in those days the schools were very strict and disciplined but this also helped Lowry stand up for himself. Lowry never had any major problems but he did have a lot to work on. His art was graceful but also tiring but something as little as that wasn't going to make him give up on his dream of becoming a famous artist. Lowry spent exactly 12 years of studying but this paid off.

An Amazing CareerLowry was one of the best artists ever to

have been known. He was an excellent role model for people of all ages. He will be very well remembered by all. He was stricken and confused but he carried on chasing his dream to become the best artist. Lowry was a great man who will be a legend for all the generations and his greatness will never die out.

Super Art!
