Macbethan Art

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students review and reproduce an article of Elizabethan styled clothing as a part of an analysis of Shakespeare's Macbeth.  In this Elizabethan art lesson, students discuss the fashion of the Elizabethan era and research it online. Students make scaled drawings of an example piece of clothing and use the computer to construct a technological design. Students physically construct the article of clothing and wear it to 'Macbeth Day' at school.
