Crazy Caricatures!
This term 7WR historians are taking part in an enquiry into who they think was the best monarch of the Tudor period. This week they have been tasked with finding out more about Edward VI and his short reign as King. To show a deeper understanding of the reputation of this monarch, they have been tasked with creating a caricature of the King. They were asked to select information relevant to the enquiry and then had 20 minutes to show these pieces of historic detail through exaggerated features on a caricature portrait. Here is what they came up with:
Lili drew one of the King's advisors in the background - to highlight how he
never had full control and had to rule under the supervision of others.
Lexie decided to show Edward VI as a baby to highlight his young age.
He was given the crown when he was only 9 years old.
Harry decided to cover his version of Edward in spots and with a thermometer to show how he was always sick. He also has shown the land England lost to both Scotland and France under Edwards reign as his money seems to be fading away.
In Jessica's interpretation, Edward VI is holding a bible which symbolises his introduction of
the Book of Common Prayer and shows his religious influence.
