Housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, The Art School at DePaul emphasizes research and conceptual thinking, creative problem solving, the development of specific skills, and the historical functions of art. Formerly the Department of Art, Media and Design, the school aims to impart diverse methods, skills and challenges to students to provide a foundation for the understanding of visual culture historically, as well as in contemporary times.
In addition to maintaining an attentive and close professional relationship with their students, faculty in the school consistently exhibit and publish in regional, national and international venues.

"Profane Mimesis II," by Steven Carrelli
Steven Carrelli is an adjunct faculty member in The Art Schoo. He received a BA in studio art from Wheaton College, and an MFA in Painting from Northwestern University. As a 1995-96 Fulbright scholar, he studied egg tempera painting in Florence, Italy. He has returned to Italy on many occasions to teach and work.
Carrelli's paintings and drawings employ close observation, the poetic possibilities of the commonplace and the contemplative nature of craft to explore themes related to permanence, temporality, ambition and vulnerability.
