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.

"Distortion 10 (Woman)," by Mary Jane Duffy
Mary Jane Duffy is an adjunct faculty member at The Art School and artist interested in the ways technology is molding how we experience the world.
Her paintings and drawings investigate this by revealing the times when the artifice of technology is made clearly visible- when TV pictures turn to static and snow, when surveillance photographs show text that has been crossed out, creating black boxes on the surface or the cable signal goes bad and images are turned to abstract colored tiles.
