WHAT YOU’LL NEED

12” x 18” white sulphite paper

Pencil and eraser

Cake tempera paints OR opaque watercolor

paints

Colored pencils (high quality like Prismacolor are

best)

Colored markers like Crayola or Faber-Castell

Small and medium brush

Optional: gold gel pens

Red marker or pen or pencil

Variety of portraits from the Elizabethan era

copied in black and white

Elizabethan clothing styles used rich, elegant materials such

as fur, velvet, silk and lace. Not wanting to be mistaken as

lower class, the upper class made sure to wear fancy,

brightly-colored outfits that told everyone of their high

status in society. In fact, there were special laws made in

16th century England about what each class of people were

allowed to wear. For example, only royalty could wear

purple silk, and the lowest class could not wear bright-

colored clothing with any decoration. Fashion was a key part

of Elizabethan society.

This lesson explores the process of creating a detailed

drawing using pencil and marker. Then children use a variety

of media to color their Elizabethan costume. The video

resources I included explore how different media is used

based on the area of the artwork that is to be colored.

P lanning Activities

Show students examples of Elizabethan

clothing from 16th century England. Have

students read the “History of Fashion”

document found on page 4. Discuss as a

class or in small groups a few things they

learned about

the history of

fashion.

On scrap paper or in their sketchbook, have students practice these coloring techniques that layer

art materials.

Marker over colored pencil: Color in a shape with colored pencil and then use a

marker to layer a pattern on top.

Colored pencil over marker: Color in a shape with a light marker color. Use

colored pencils over the top to add pattern or add shadows with a deeper

color.

Gel pens over paint: Paint a shape with a dark color. Use gold gel pens

or a metallic Sharpie to add a pattern over the dried paint.

After learning about the

fashion of the Elizabethan

era, have students analyze

how fashion designers are

influenced by time, place and

resources available. Discuss the

artistic value of fashion and the contribution

fashion designs offer to culture.

Do you think fashion designers are artists? Why

or why not?

About THE HISTORY OF FASHION

In 1858, Charles Frederick Worth was one of the first fashion

designers who had his own label sewn into the clothes that he

created. Before this time in history, most clothing was made by

dressmakers and tailors to fit the shape of each individual

person. Worth’s gowns were known for their very decorative

style with the finest materials. His gowns inspired fashion into

the 1900s.

As women began to live more independent lifestyles, fashion

began to change to meet their needs. Not only did fashion

designers create fancy evening gowns, but also more casual

clothes became part of the fashion world.

After World War I, fashion had a major change. Women usually

would wear their hair up in a bouffant style. But during this time

period, women began wearing their hair in a short bob hair

style. Women’s fashion used to have dresses and clothes that

gave them a shape. In the 1920s, clothes weren’t as fitted and

became shorter.

Fashion throughout the decades reflected political, economic

and social situations of the time. For example, in the 1930s

during the Great Depression, fashion became more simple and

not as elaborate. Also, many times fashion trends repeated in

later decades. In the 1960s, women’s fashion began to go back

to the shorter skirts and overall silhouette of the 1920s.

Fashion designers use the elements of art and principles of

design like all artists focusing on lines, color, pattern, texture,

contrast, etc. Just like major art movements in history, fashion

has changed, influenced, evolved and continues to inspire

artists all over the world.

Select an image from which to copy your king,

queen or courtier (royal court member). It may

help to offer children a selection of period

artworks photocopied in black and white. I

would suggest selecting both detailed and

simple paintings that demonstrate strong lines. I

have included a few for you to use in your

lesson on pages 9-12. If children can select a

photocopy of a portrait that is interesting to

them, they will be more likely to be interested

in the outcome.

Once children have selected a portrait, use a

small point red pen, marker or colored pencil to

outline the basic shapes of the drawing. This

helps children simplify a detailed portrait so

that it is not overwhelming. I often used this

approach when teaching detailed drawings

such as animals, castles, etc.

Study the shapes that make up the costume.

Identifying the larger shapes makes it easy for

children to draw.

Drawing the Portraits

Page 6: Elizabethan Costumes 7 › ... › Elizabethan+Costumes+7… · Elizabethan Costumes Master John. Queen Mary I. 1544, oil on panel, National Portrait Gallery, London. D E E P S P

D E E P S P A C E S P A R K L E & T H E S P A R K L E R S C L U B !6

Drawing the PortraitsDetermine if you want to turn your white paper to be tall or wide. With a pencil, start by drawing

a basic oval for the head. Look at the photocopy to determine the placement of the head. After

the head is in place, draw the hair , hat or crown lightly with the pencil. This helps set the size for

the body.

Draw the collar of the clothes. In Elizabethan fashion, this is usually very detailed. The queen will

typically have hers frill around her neck (circle). Once the collar is drawn, identify the waistline,

sleeves, arms and hands. The bottom part of the dress or suit is generally a partial view. Fill the

paper up with these billowy shapes.

Outline very simply where the details of the costume will go, in pencil. This might be drawing a

sash or necklace first before bodice details. It’s important for children to see how the clothing is

layered. They need to draw the details of the clothing in reverse order of how the person was

dressed. The queen would likely add her necklaces and pins last, so that is what the artist needs

to draw first.

Most of the drawing should be done with a black

waterproof marker. If most of the details are done with a

pencil, children will be less likely to want to paint or color

over their pencil drawing. Remember, you do have the

option of just doing a pencil drawing, but coloring with

colored pencils, markers and adding paint to larger areas

is a great technique to learn and very fun for kids to do.

Once all the details are drawn in (get as detailed as you

want!), erase any big pencil lines. Most colored pencils and

markers will cover pencil lines, so you don’t need to worry

too much if pencil lines are showing.

Outlining with Marker

TIP: Instead of

sketching small details with

pencil, use black waterproof maker

right away for details like beads, lace, fringe, etc.

Use cake tempera paint or opaque watercolors to fill in

large areas like the background, sleeves or skirt. This is

optional, but it does make quick work out of filling in

the larger areas. You can use broad tip markers to fill in

medium-sized shapes. Kids love to color with markers

as the results are so rich. Make colored pencils available

because they are perfect for small details.

Set out the different media on each table group and

allow children to have the decision to select the media that is best for them. I used colored pencil for

the skin tone of one of my portraits but used paint with another. Each artist will need to decide what

they want to work with.

Coloring the Portrait

Paint: Large Areas

Markers: Medium Shapes

Colored Pencils: Details

One rule of thumb I use is that if a shape is larger than

my palm, I paint. If the shape is the size of my fingers, I

use markers. If the shape is smaller than my thumb, I

use colored pencils. Teaching children that different

media is better for different areas of the artwork is a

great way to color the artwork efficiently and creatively.

Introduce your students to these coloring techniques

that use the materials they already have at their tables:

Marker over colored pencil: This is a technique I have

been using since I was a girl. Color in the background

of a shape with colored pencil and then use a marker to

add details. You can see this technique in the blue

sleeves of the princess.

Colored pencil over marker: When you want to add

contrast or details on a section of clothing, color the

background with a light marker color. Then use colored

pencils over the top to draw details, add shadows with

a deeper color or simply add loose pencil strokes to

achieve texture. You can see this technique in the

bodice of the princess.

Gel pens over paint: On the King Henry portrait,

there is gold threading in his robe that I wanted to

replicate. Paint the sleeve a deep maroon then

allow to dry. Use gold gel pens or a metallic

Sharpie to add the gold embroidery details.
