Resume

“Elizabeth I (1533-1603) was Queen of England and Ireland from 1558 until her death. She set strong fashion and beauty standards in her time. The ideal look was pale skin, light-coloured hair, red lips and cheeks, and rich clothing with jewels. She used a white foundation called **ceruse**, made of white lead and vinegar, to make her skin very pale, which stood for nobility and youth.She also wore wigs and heavy dresses decorated with pearls, rubies and other gems. Through her portraiture and appearance she shaped her public image as the “Virgin Queen” and a powerful, ageless monarch. Many of her portraits were not realistic but symbolic: the skin appears perfect, for example, hiding signs of illness or ageing. The fashion of pale skin, red lips, and fine dress influenced women of her court and beyond.

Table + text

Use tables and infographics

Visual communication is a key tool. We find it easier to ‘read’ images than to read a written text. Disciplines such as ‘Visual Thinking’ facilitate the taking of visually rich notes through the use of images, graphs, infographics, and simple drawings.
