Liz Butler Draws The ROM: ROM Revealed
Hi ROMKids!
I had an AWESOME time during the ROM Revealed Weekend! It was so great to talk to all of you who stopped by. It was especially great to talk to all of you who are artists yourselves (some younger artists even showed me the cool arts and crafts that they made at the museum that weekend, like Egyptian collars and Chinese dragons)!
A special highlight of the weekend, for me, was talking to many of you about your favourite dinosaurs. It seemed like there were lots of fans of the sauropods, especially those like Barosaurus and Futalognkosaurus, which you learned about at the museum! My favourite is Parasaurolophus. How can you not love that crazy crest? AND the Parasaurolophus species featured in the ROM collection is named after one of the ROM’s founder Sir Byron Edmund Walker (Parasaurolophus walkeri)!
With this post, I have included some of the sketches I made while I was hanging out with all of you over the ROM Revealed weekend. On Saturday, I started out in the Schad Gallery of Biodiversity and the Eaton Gallery of Rome. Sunday I spent the morning in the Daphne Cockwell Gallery of Canada: First Peoples, before heading to the James and Louise Temerty Galleries of the Age of Dinosaurs. I loved talking about all the great displays in the galleries with those of you who visited!
A huge thank-you to everyone who stopped by to talk to me over the awesome ROM Revealed weekend! What a great celebration!
