With support from principal Arthur Adamakos, two other Memorial High School art teachers -- Jane Tentas and Marcia Fanaras
Zito -- joined Sweeny to help orchestrate a two-day professional development workshop led by the well-known Boston School-style artist, Paul Ingbretson. He taught 20 art
teachers from New Hampshire and Maine realism skills they could take back to their students.
