Elizabeth Kowalchuk received her Ph.D. in art education in 1992 at Ohio State University, Columbus; her M.F.A. in painting in 1982 at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana; and her B.F.A. in drawing and painting in 1980 at the University of Georgia, Athens.
Before coming to KU, Elizabeth taught at Buffalo State College, Ohio State University, Columbus, and in Palm Beach County, Fla.
"My teaching broadly focuses on preparing individuals to be productive members of their community. As an art educator, this community includes people who shape and interpret our visual world and who teach others about art and design," she says. "My goal is for students to gain an understanding of how art and design interact with other forces to influence and enrich our lives. Consequently, the thrust of my instructional endeavors involves guiding art education students toward professional competence, where the importance of art and design in daily life is recognized and investigated."
