The Department of Art & Art History consists of two separate majors, both housed in Boliou Hall. The Studio Art program helps students develop skills in various arts media. The Art History program considers the function, meaning and context of artistic creations and their role in recording and shaping people, perceptions, events, and cultures.
You do not need to have any special expertise or experience to major in Studio Art or Art History – just a strong desire to learn. If you have questions about our arts offerings, please email our department assistant Marie Fischer (mfischer@carleton.edu). We look forward to working with you in the very near future!
