'''Claire Defoe''' is [[Lawndale High]]'s resident Art teacher.
'''Claire Defoe''' is a fictional animated character who frequently appeared on [[MTV]]'s animated series ''[[Daria (TV series)|Daria]]''. Ms. Claire Defoe was [[Lawndale High]]'s resident Art teacher, and was characteristically very relaxed and patient, more in tune to art than anything else. She did not appear in the series nearly as frequently as the other teachers, and so very little was learned about her. She was never seen actually creating any art of her own, but she did delight in nurturing the talents of others, particularly student [[Jane Lane]], a character famous on the show for her artistic nature and passion.

It has been theorized by fans that DeFoe could have an hippie past.
 
From the books it is revealed that she resented to have to choose between "Arts" and "Crafts" and that she makes wind chimes and macramés plant holders (the later she plans to sell). It is also revealed that she lives in a studio apartment with some freeloading students that she doesn't have the heart to throw out (a theme that has been explored in some fanfiction stories).
