Painting and Collage
Description
Join Ms. Wright and delve into the art of collage as a fine art form, combining painting, drawing, and painted papers with carefully selected images to create unique compositions. We’ll draw inspiration from renowned works of art that showcase these techniques, sparking creativity and exploration. Through mixed media, students will blend found objects with traditional materials, discovering how to transform everyday items into stunning works of art. This hands-on journey will ignite imagination and showcase the limitless possibilities of artistic expression. This session DOES NOT include lunch for your camper. Lunch can be added in the Options menu for $40/week.

Faculty Bio:
Phyllis E. Wright has been teaching Middle and Upper School art since the fall of 2007. In addition, she directed the gallery at Stuart from 2007- 2014. She received her BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University and her MFA from The George Washington University where she was a graduate fellow. Upon graduation she became an Assistant Professor of Art teaching Printmaking, Two-dimensional Design and Mixed Media for a decade.
She also taught continuing studies classes at The Maryland Institute, College of Art. While living in Maryland she was one of the original members of Maryland Printmakers, a not for profit educational corporation established to encourage the making and collecting of fine art prints. As President, she coordinated the 1993 Southern Graphics Council Conference bringing together such institutions as The Maryland Institute, College of Art, The Baltimore Museum of Art, Pyramid Atlantic, The Cultural Center of Brazil, and various galleries in the Baltimore- Washington Corridor. Ms Wright has been a preparator of art for various university museums and private galleries.

In 2003 she moved back to her hometown of Princeton to be closer to her mother. She taught workshops and classes at The Arts Council of Princeton during the summer and is an active artist whose work is shown and collected worldwide. Her most current work began during the pandemic. These “daily paintings” reflect the unfolding of her life and her response to her surroundings.

In addition to teaching, Ms. Wright travels and is especially inspired by art and archeological sites. Visit her website phylliswrightart.com
