Unreal Beauty taught by Tara Tieso May 25 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm $48.00 IN PERSON CLASS Wet Paint 1684 Grand Avenue Saint Paul, MN 55105 651-698-6431 From the event page: Inspired by The Voynich Manuscript Drawing uniquely and beautifully, this is a common goal for those of us who can’t draw. What if what we needed was not so much a magic new drawing skill, but a new way to see the unique beauty in what we draw? The Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious, much-speculated-upon, one-of-a-kind, centuries-old puzzle that we first explored in Wet Paint’s art book club is like a good historical mystery. This fifteenth century codex is written in an unknown script by an unknown author, and the manuscript has no clearer purpose now than when it was rediscovered in 1912 by rare books dealer Wilfrid Voynich. The manuscript appears and disappears throughout history, from the library of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to a secret sale of books in 1903 by the Society of Jesus in Rome. The book’s language has eluded decipherment, and its gorgeous, elaborate illustrations remain as baffling as they are beautiful. This collection of illustrations of otherworldly plants, unfamiliar constellations, and unique text is inspiring precisely because it is not based on anything we could draw from life. We’ll spend some time with this amazing manuscript – just taking it in – then we’ll use its inspiring beauty to create some beauty of our own. No drawing, sketch-booking, journaling or painting experience of any kind required to create beautiful images in this class! Materials to bring: Your copy of the book Voynich Manuscript – if you have one . A sketchbook – any size is ok, and it should be appropriate to the media you plan to use during class Media of your choice – one or more (but don’t bring too much, 3 hours goes fast!) – e.g., colored pencils; water soluble: pencils, crayons, graphite; watercolors; markers; collage items Permanent drawing pen(s) of your choice The Wet Paint classroom has some shared use supplies for in class use that you are welcome to use, including colored pencils, markers, graphite pencils, erasers, basic watercolors, some water-soluble drawing supplies, some basic charcoal and pastels.
