Hi, My name is Lorena DeCristofaro.Perry High School students call me "Mrs. D"I received my HS from a very small prestigious private High School in Guadalajara Mexico. My BA is in graphic design from the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. My Masters degree is in International Education from Framingham State college. I have taught since the school year 1991-1992 ( so do the mat! yes... I am old and have been teaching for that many years)I started teaching kindergarten, then 2nd grade to non-English speakers , I have also taught HS Spanish and have taught HS art for the last 25 years straight.I am very happy doing what I do.I have a Daughter who is 25, who graduated from NAU and a son who is 23 who also graduated from NAU. They are both out of the house and working.My husband Dan is a Lawyer and works from Home. We have a dog Teddy, who we love and another rescue that used to be my mom's, named Piccola .Follow my INSTAGRAM mrs_d_perrypumas_artwhere you can see my student's art workMy Educational Philosophy
I am passionate about art and about teaching.
I am very structured and believe artistic ability is a constantly evolving trait that can continuously get better, no matter how bad or how good you are. There is always room to improve.
If you are not "talented" you can become so, by being diligent and applying suggestions and tips given in my class.
I will guarantee you will be a better artist after taking my class.
I am very organized, and structural.
My class will be disciplined. I love when students meet deadlines and follow directions.
If you do so you are guaranteed success.The Choice is Yours! Why Choose Perry High?
