Art is a way to think, act and communicate – a means of personal expression, as well as of participating in a larger conversation with the past and with contemporary culture. Carroll's art students explore the relationship between the worlds of intellect and imagination. They learn to develop and nurture a creative process that moves their work and their ideas into unexpected and exciting directions. Carroll's art curriculum, grounded in the liberal arts, prepares graduates for a lifelong journey of art making and art appreciation that insists on engagement with the ideas of our times and on personal growth.
