Carol Lawrence

My name is Carol. I am a returning student. I have 3 children, ages 17, 14, and 10. I wanted to wait till the were a little older to go back to school and it has been worth it. I have always loved all forms of art, and I have focused on stone carving sculpture for the last 5-6 years. I am majoring in Art, working toward a BFA and then a MFA, and possibly a PHD after that. We'll see what happens between now and then. I want to take it one step at a time.
I want to teach Art on many levels, and use it to teach about other important issues. Last semester, I did a project with my children. There was a lot of litter and garbage dumped in the woods near our home. My children and I picked up the garbage and built a sculpture with it. I took photos of our work and then we picked up all the garbage and took it to a nearby dumpster. I want to do more work like this and invite communities to get involved as well. I want to make Art that matters and use it to teach about important issues.
