Debra's Summer Art Classes - Registration Form

During her time at Saint Bernard's CCHS in Fitchburg, MA, she taught Arts I, II, III, and IV, to grades 9-12.   Here, the art teaching experience included addressing Arts I-IV in a single class period, teaching each level simultaneously through scheduling demonstrations and introductions at different times so that all students were continuously engaged whether designing, sketching, completing projects, or critiquing.  She is experienced in teaching all levels of students in various media, including pencil, charcoal, pastel, oil pastel, watercolor, acrylic, tempera, printmaking, ceramics, mixed-media, computer graphics, sculpture, pen & ink, and more.

In the summer of 2006, Debra created an art day camp at Saint Bernard's with her partner Dominic Quagliozzi to co-found Camp DestinationART, a week-long art day camp for ages 5-13.

At Farragut Elementary, Debra is the Art Consultant for a school community of 500 students as well as the coordinator of Farragut's After-school Arts School & Technology Program (F.A.A.S.T.) This year, she is working on the theme of "Community" for Farragut's annual art fundraiser ARTWORKS! scheduled for April 25th, 2009.
