Drawing Queen Elizabeth I

In Year 2, we have been using our artistic flair to draw portraits of some of the most memorable monarchs over the centuries.

We found Queen Elizabeth I fascinating as we loved her lavish dresses and found lots of differences between her and Queen Elizabeth II.

We used pencils as our media and observed and drew her face, patterns on her dress by adding dots and lines and have begun to explore the use of lines of different thickness to create texture and tone.
