In the 17th century, Roman patron and collector Cassiano dal Pozzo and his younger brother Carlo Antonio assembled a ‘Paper Museum’ of nearly 10,000 watercolors, drawings and prints, covering botany, zoology, ornithology, geology, architecture, and more. Their aim was to capture human knowledge in visual form. While photographs now dominate the 21st century record, a sketchbook can provide the perfect place to showcase your discoveries and to create a visual record of what’s important to you.
Create your own Paper Museum with a variety of nature collections and subjects. From fall fruits and flowers to insects to birds, there’s no shortage of subjects that you can capture. Taking inspiration from the original Paper Museum, this series explores ways to record a variety of subjects with intention, beauty, and cohesion in your sketchbook.
Sign up for one or more classes in the series. However, each class will draw upon some elements of the previous class to build your collection.
Begin your paper museum with a fall collection and create a label and personal mark for your paper museum. We’ll also cover layout and design approaches when working with multiple subjects on a page.
The common yellowthroat will be our subject as we go beyond the typical horizontal view and practice recording a single bird species in different poses on the same page.
Learn to draw insects accurately and layer watercolors to capture wing patterns. We’ll use a classic natural history style layout for this collection of your paper museum.
Make a botanical study using an herbarium specimen to capture the whole plant, as well as various parts of it. We’ll also incorporate a decorative ribbon element in the style of 17th century Italian print makers.
