Creating Elizabeth I: Ancient Inspiration for a Renaissance Queen (1558-1603)
Elizabeth I is regarded by many as the most influential of the Tudor monarchs but how did she and those around her, including her parents, tutors, and courtiers, fashion her into the queen we know as Gloriana? While presenting her as a pious, just and legitimate ruler were essential, Elizaeth and her court also drew upon many facets of the Ancient World to help bolster her position as a queen regnant. They also took inspiration from late 14th century reception of the ancient world in the form of lists of the Nine Worthy Women which consisted of three classical queens and leaders, alongside three Jewish and three Christian inspiring women.
Elizabeth received a very good humanist education to help shape her as a female prince. She studied classical texts and learnt Greek and Latin, and once queen she made use of Roman oratory in her writing and speeches. During this module we will explore how Elizabeth and those around her drew up classical mythology, female role models from the Bible, powerful women such as Cleopatra and Arthurian legends from the 5th century CE to create many of the most famous portraits, plays and poems that celebrated Elizabeth I as queen. -

Creative Design Interpretations
This module introduces you to Creative Design Interpretations across Textiles, which considers the principles of the programme - Sustainability, Luxury and Ethical Artisanship in relation to Textiles. You will creatively interpret the contexts, theory, techniques and materials introduced in the adjacent module ‘The Principles of Sustainability, Luxury and Artisanship’ across knit, weave, print and dyeing textiles through a series of creative design and making workshops. You will explore and play with colour and dyeing, fibres and yarns and get a feel for the diversity of fabric textures, effects and uses. This module allows you to explore your creativity, experiment with materials, and visually interpret inspirations, objects, images, pattern and structures. You will make drawings, experiments, photographs and learn how to interpret these into creative textile designs and structures. This module will provide you with digital resources and training workshops to develop your digital skills for different purposes. You will learn about academic study, research and referencing, integrity, critical thinking and reflective practice. You will research, collect, record and interpret to generate original creative design ideas for textiles. -
