Christine Woywod Veettil

Hello, my name is Dr. Christine Woywod Veettil. I earned my B.A. in Art History and a B.S. in Art Education from Northern Illinois University in 2001. I later pursued my graduate degrees there, as well (M.S. 2004, Ph.D. 2010). I have experience teaching art and art education in a range of situations, including a high school, a K-5 school focused on arts integration and technology, a care community for older adults, and an R1 university. 

Interdisciplinary connections and a fascination with contemporary artists who blur boundaries between disciplines are important threads that run through the layers of my practice as an art educator, from experiences teaching K-12 students to professional development and research with teams of teachers.

I currently serve on the editorial boards for Visual Arts Research and Art Education.  I am always enthusiastic about collaborating with other educators to design art-centered learning experiences for students, especially when inspired by an awesome exhibit!
