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. Get to know the school's faculty and staff, and view a sample of their artwork via the interactive gallery below.
