STAN PHELPS
Thinking and Painting BIG?
Students will work cooperatively to create
a larger than life picture for their school.
From the first concept to the final signing,
a mural requires teamwork. Drawing skills,
design and composition, colour theory, colour
mixing, and brush techniques will be explored.
The result will include an exhibition of
finished, student drawings, as well as the
completed interior or exterior murals.
Stan Phelps, B.F.A., is an Alberta painter,
printmaker, and educator, with thirty years
experience painting murals.
He has worked in many schools around the
province as an Artist in Residence, introducing
students to a wide range of art disciplines,
from mural painting, to cartooning and inflatable
sculptures.
He is, at present, the co-proprietor of the
Heart Studio in Calgary, a multi-disciplined
facility offering art classes, workshops,
exhibitions, and special events such as live
music, poetry readings, and children's theatre.
He is, as well, the director and Artist in
Residence of the Historic Perrenoud Ranche
Art Centre, a Provincial art facility near
Cochrane, Alberta.
