Who We Are The Art Department provides students with high quality educational experiences in the visual arts with a focus on Drawing, Painting, Ceramics, and Sculpture. The Art Department’s curriculum offers an A.A. in Studio Art with an emphasis in Painting, Drawing, Ceramics, and Sculpture, as well as an A.A.T in Studio Art. Each of our degrees require a strong emphasis on the skill development, concepts, and sensitivities essential for the visual artist. The A.A.T. in Studio Art degree is designed for the student artist interested in transferring to a four year Studio Art program within the UC and CSU system. Courses are offered in painting, drawing, illustration, life drawing, ceramics,and sculpture. The Art Department provides students with an opportunity to develop the techniques, visual sensibility, and historical understanding necessary for working with various art media. An understanding and exploration of the meanings and ideas generated by the things we make, and an awareness of the satisfaction inherent in the process of "the making," are essential parts of the program. The Art curriculum offers instruction in art theory and practice. These areas of study constitute the foundation courses needed to begin a career in the fine arts. The foundation courses meet prerequisite requirements to UC, CSU systems, and four-year art schools. Our courses provide a solid basis for continuing work in upper division and art-related fields such as Ceramist, Commercial Artist, Designer, Exhibition Designer, Art Critic/Writer, Art Director, Art Historian, and Art Teaching. Post-graduation student follow-up and feedback from faculty at transfer institutions indicate students majoring in Art at Chabot College are well prepared to transfer to four-year colleges/universities and art schools. As a university parallel program, the A.A.T. degree corresponds to the first two years of study required for a fouryear baccalaureate degree and allows students to transfer to four-year colleges/universities and art schools to pursue the baccalaureate degree and beyond. Upon completion of the A.A.T. degree, students often transfer as juniors to art schools and four-year colleges/universities in California and nationally. The art department serves a wide variety of students. Many of our students are non-majors or taking a course to complete general education requirements. We have requested data to help track these students in order to better serve their needs. We do not discriminate in either pedagogy or content for non-majors. The Art faculty has seen two faculty members recently retire, and we are grateful for the addition of a new fulltime studio art faculty member, Bonnie Stipe. She brings strong expertise in two-dimensional media with community college teaching experience. She is savvy with computers and their applications, and we needed that expertise. Both she and the long-term faculty members are committed to practices and innovation that will maintain and expand the discipline as a robust and sustainable art program with strong ties to the other fine art disciplines in our division. We believe the Art department plays a key role in Chabot College’s mission: Chabot College is a public comprehensive community college that prepares students to succeed in their education, progress in the workplace, and engage in the civic and cultural life of the community. Our students contribute to the intellectual, cultural, physical, and economic vitality of the region. Our students go on to become leaders in the cultural life of our community. 2. Where We Are Now For the past three years, the discipline has been struggling with budget, personnel, and sufficient FTEF to survive. We are proud of adoption and implementation of the A.A.T. A deeper and broader evaluation of the facilities, including equipment, supplies, and maintenance as well as our programs and offerings is overdue. These facilities are among the few building that were not either renovated or replaced during the recent Measure B bond. We are now ready to restore sections that were cut: two sections of evening ART classes and two sections of day ART classes in Spring 2016, and we intend to offer these courses again in the fall. We also intend to evaluate the viability of summer classes. In Fall of 2015, our art courses averaged at a fill rate of 118%. With all classes running over capacity, the data suggests we are needing to grow our program to accommodate growth. Each year our majors are growing in number as this chart shows below: ART MAJORS BY YEAR 2015 Art/Emphasis in Ceramics(A) 13 Art/Emphasis in Painting (A) 24 Art/Emphasis in Sculpture (A) 4 Art/General 118 Studio Arts (AA-T) 5 Illustration 3 2014 Art/Emphasis in Ceramics(A) 7 Art/Emphasis in Painting (A) 23 Art/Emphasis in Sculpture (A) 6 Art/General 114 Illustration 2 2013 Art/Emphasis in Ceramics(A) 6 Art/Emphasis in Graphic Des(C) 3 Art/Emphasis in Painting (A) 15 Art/Emphasis in Sculpture (A) 9 Art/General 105 Illustration 7 2012 Art/Emph in Graphic Design (A) 6 Art/Emphasis in Ceramics(A) 14 Art/Emphasis in Graphic Des(C) 6 Art/Emphasis in Painting (A) 20 Art/Emphasis in Sculpture (A) 11 Art/General 107 On the other hand, while courses as a whole are overfull on Day 1, by census, individual courses show drops in enrollment by census that are troubling. The discipline is gathering data to ascertain that this actually happening, developing a plan for determining possible causes, and implementing interventions to address those causes. After the cuts in 2010, the art department saw a significant decrease in degree completion rates. With more institutional support, and more courses offered, the data would suggest that higher completion rates will follow. Low course offerings also impact our student learning outcomes. For example, only 73% of students scored a 3 or 4 on course level outcome for glaze technique in Ceramics 16A. There are any number of glaze combinations that require repeated experimentation to master glazing pottery. The more sections of ART 16 offered, the more frequently the kiln gets fired, the more chances to experiment. One section per semester is not enough. We are in need of updating our facilities. The 1000 building has remained untouched despite recent improvements throughout the campus. All of the classrooms in the 1000 building have no new instructional technology. We do not have the capability to project and show a powerpoint because those classrooms have no digital projectors. There is also no computer access in any of these classrooms. Our SLOs have been impacted by the inability to show our students examples of historical and contemporary artists. The classroom furniture in these rooms is also in disrepair. The tables and easels in 1006 have become a safety hazard because of the loose bolts and legs. We believe the increase in price of our Art Kits has impacted student completion and success rates. We are going to collect more data to understand and find solutions to this problem. In the past, we charged a materials fee for each class, which enabled the discipline to maintain an adequate supply of materials. Classes that have historically had a high rate of success, at 80% or higher for the past three years (Art 20 and Art 22) have decreased in success and completion (2% in Art 20 and 35% in Art 22.) The drop in success/completion for classes with cost materials corresponds with the loss of a materials fee. We would like to purchase supplies for the student that are cheaper to buy in bulk, a cost saving we could pass on to students using a fee. We have implemented a transfer degree for Studio Art to comply with the new legislation from the state on transfer eligibility, SB1440. It was vetted by the curriculum committee, Board of Trustees, and the Chancellor’s office and then approved by the State so that now it is in the new catalogue. The goal would be to have more time faculty to replace the instructors who have recently retired, and allow more time for student mentoring. 3. The Difference We Hope to Make This year Art Department is seeking accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). This is a significant achievement for a two-year community college. To date, only 22 community colleges nationwide have been granted NASAD accreditation. Our curriculum stresses technical competence, an understanding of artistic styles, critical thinking skills, creative problem-solving and insight to art's significant role in society. With a focus on student enrichment, it is the Art Department’s goal to prepare students in a professional practice as well as creative problem solving. Our pedagogy, curriculum, and goals are a good fit with NASAD requirements. The Art faculty have surveyed our facilities, materials, equipment, and resources. We have noted multiple areas of need, including improvements as follows: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● OSHA compliance: Fire Safe Cabinets for storage of solvents, ventilation, school purchase of solvents for painting, chemicals for patina, and disposal of chemicals for patinas Overhead projectors and Computer access for 1006, 1016, 1012; Wifi access for the 1000 building Scheduled Maintenance of the Electric Kilns (deferred for the last several years) New easels, model stand, and folding tables for 1006 Still life Objects and clamp lights for drawing Sufficient model budget for life drawing Instructional supplies for demonstrations in painting Maintenance and cleaning supplies Cushions and seating for Life Drawing models Blackout shades in room 901 for controlling daylight when projecting digital images in and movies. LCD projector and document camera for 901 Color printer for 901 Envirovents for electric kiln update pilot system replaced on gas kiln room 1012 All of the facilities will need updated ventilation for NASAD accreditation Instructional Aid and Studio Technician All of these requests have been parsed out to the appropriate appendix. The Chabot College Strategic Plan Goal: “Increase the number of students that achieve their educational goal within a reasonable time by clarifying pathways and providing more information and support,” has been considered and will require careful analysis of data, which is being compiled by the OIR. That information will tell us how many majors, how rapidly they complete, demographics, and other data that will enable to us to decide among the following options: support structures, interventions, certificate programs, disabled student support, etc. One possibility is to create and implement a pathway community to support students (Creation of Art FYE learning community). Many of the Art students already form a unofficial learning community by working in the studios during open hours. Many students use our labs after class hours, and we have no way to track and collect apportionment for those hours. We would like to introduce the SARS tracking method to our studios as way to account and collect data on those hours. We are interested in using Music’s implementation of the SARS in their practice rooms as a model for our studios. We are requesting additional FTEF to ensure access to sections of courses required for the AAT so as to ensure timely completion (Strategic Plan Goal). Appendix A: Budget History and Impact Audience: Budget Committee, PRBC, and Administrators Purpose: This analysis describes your history of budget requests from the previous two years and the impacts of funds received and needs that were not met. This history of documented need can both support your narrative in Section A and provide additional information for Budget Committee recommendations. Instructions: Please provide the requested information, and fully explain the impact of the budget decisions. Category Classified Staffing (# of positions) Supplies & Services Equipment Figure drawing model budget Contracted Services Technology TOTAL 2015-16 Budget Requested 1 $1100 11,700 $7000.00 19,700 2015-16 Budget Received 0 $500 unknown $5500.00 0 2016-17 Budget Requested 2 8827.67 34055.62 9900 7378.34 22183.56 2016-17 Budget Received 6000 1. How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized. Replacing worn out equipment, such as electric kilns and grinders, has improved productivity and safety in Ceramics and sculpture classes. By maintaining the studios we will increase student success and completion rates. Additionally we have seen a trend with the art classes of student withdrawal after the required class materials are explained. We will collecting data to further analyze this trend, but through informal survey, we suspect this trend relates to student material cost. We would like to be able to supply students with start up materials for each course in order to increase student retention and completion rates. These materials should drastically increase student success rates. 2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted? Success rates for Life Drawing have fallen, which we believe is attributable to decreased availability of life drawing models. Disney, Pixar, and the Video Gaming Co. are looking for people with excellent figure/anatomy drawing skills, which is a great opportunity for our students. We need to adequately prepare our students for the real-life jobs that are available in the Bay Area. In the past, we charged a materials fee for each visual arts class, which enabled the discipline to maintain an adequate supply of materials. These materials include abrasives, wax, plaster, sand, saw blades, etc. We have been able to mitigate the loss by using materials purchased over previous semesters. Those materials have now been exhausted. Students are increasingly hard pressed to complete projects in visual arts classes, as we no longer have the materials needed to complete projects. Sculpture classes have historically had a high rate of success, at 80% or higher for the past three years in Art 20 and Art 22, with success dipping by 2% in Art 20 and 35% in Art 22. This does not correspond with high CLO scores in these classes. The drop in success for both classes corresponds with the loss of a materials fee in the Fall of 2010. We need a annual materials budget to keep these highly successful courses going. We also believe that the gap between the number of students enrolled on the first day and number of students at census in a number of courses may also be driven by the cost of materials. When we have reviewed the data we intend to collect, this may also identify an equity issue. Appendix B1: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Reporting Schedule I.

Appendix D: A Few Questions Please answer the following questions with "yes" or "no". For any questions answered "no", please provide an explanation. No explanation is required for "yes" answers. Write n/a if the question does not apply to your area. 1. Have all of your course outlines been updated within the past five years? Yes 2. Have you deactivated all inactive courses? (courses that haven’t been taught in five years or won’t be taught in three years should be deactivated) Yes 3. Have all of your courses been offered within the past five years? If no, why should those courses remain in our college catalog? Yes 4. Do all of your courses have the required number of CLOs completed, with corresponding rubrics? If no, identify the CLO work you still need to complete, and your timeline for completing that work this semester Yes 5. Have you assessed all of your courses and completed "closing the loop" forms for all of your courses within the past three years? If no, identify which courses still require this work, and your timeline for completing that work this semester. Yes 6. Have you developed and assessed PLOs for all of your programs? If no, identify programs which still require this work, and your timeline to complete that work this semester. Yes 7. If you have course sequences, is success in the first course a good predictor of success in the subsequent course(s)? There are no core sequences in our area. 8. Does successful completion of College-level Math and/or English correlate positively with success in your courses? If not, explain why you think this may be. Yes, in some courses. College-level writing, thinking, and speaking skills are needed for many courses in the AAT. Appendix F2A: Classified Staffing Request(s) [Acct. Category 2000] Audience: Administrators, PRBC, Classified Prioritization Committee Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for new and replacement positions for full-time and part-time regular (permanent) classified professional positions (new, augmented and replacement positions). Remember, student assistants are not to replace Classified Professional staff. Instructions: Please complete a separate Classified Professionals Staffing Request form for each position requested and attach form(s) as an appendix to your Program Review. Spreadsheet: To be considered, requests must be added to the Resource Request Spreadsheet AND a separate Classified Professionals Staffing Request form must be completed for each position requested. Add your requests to your spreadsheet under the 2000a tab and check the box below once they’ve been added. Please click here to find the link to the Classified Professional Staffing Request form: http://www.chabotcollege.edu/prbc/APR/2016-17%20Classified%20Professionals%20Staffing%20Request%20Form.pdf This is a fillable PDF. Please save the form, fill it out, then save again and check the box below once you’ve done so. Submit your Classified Professionals Staffing Request form(s) along with your Program Review Narrative and Resource Request spreadsheet. Total number of positions requested (please fill in number of positions requested): 2 X Separate Classified Professionals Staffing Request form completed and attached to Program Review for each position requested (please check box to left) X Summary of positions requested completed in Program Review Resource Request Spreadsheet (please check box to left) Appendix F2B: Student Assistant Requests [Acct. Category 2000] Audience: Administrators, PRBC Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for student assistant positions. Remember, student assistants are not to replace Classified Professional staff. Instructions: Please justify the need for your request. Discuss anticipated improvements in student learning and contribution to the Strategic Plan goal, safety, mandates, and accreditation issues. Please cite any evidence or data to support your request. If these positions are categorically funded, include and designate the funding source of new categorically-funded positions where continuation is contingent upon available funding. Rationale for proposed student assistant positions: In order to maintain the studios, extra assistant is needed. This position would greatly assist with classroom set-up, teardown, maintenance of equipment, demonstration setup, and general studio cleanliness. Right now, these requirements on placed upon instructors. A student assistant would allow for more time for instruction. How do the assessments that you performed to measure student learning outcomes (SLO’s) or service area outcomes (SAO’s) support this request? This will allow for greater focus on SLOs, because the instructor will have more time to focus on instruction.

For more information, see Article 29 (CEMC) of the Faculty Contract. Instructions: In the area below, please list your requested changes in course offerings (and corresponding request in FTEF) and provide your rationale for these changes. Be sure to analyze enrollment trends and other relevant data at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2015.asp COURSE (semester) 2ABC (semester) 16ABCD Annualized 2ABC Annualized 16ABCD CURRENT FTEF (2015-16) .67 ADDITIONAL FTEF NEEDED .67 CURRENT SECTIONS 2 ADDITIONA L SECTIONS NEEDED 2 CURRENT STUDENT # SERVED 48 ADDITIONA L STUDENT # SERVED 48 .67 .33 2 1 48 24 1.3 1.3 4 4 96 96 1.3 .66 4 2 96 48 This is reported for one semester. The annual request would be double, the number of additional students to be served would double. In Fall of 2015 the waitlist for our 2ABC offerings totaled 50 students. We are turning away Art majors and nonmajors, impeding timely completion of their G.E. and transfer degree requirement. Only 73% of students scored a 3 or 4 on course level outcome for glaze technique in Ceramics 16A. There are any number of glaze combinations that require repeated experimentation to master glazing pottery. The more sections of ART 16 offered, the more frequently the kiln gets fired, the more chances to experiment. One section per semester is not enough. Appendix F4: Academic Learning Support Requests [Acct. Category 2000] Audience: Administrators, PRBC, Learning Connection Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for new and replacement student assistants (tutors, learning assistants, lab assistants, supplemental instruction, etc.). Instructions: Please justify the need for your request. Discuss anticipated improvements in student learning and contribution to the Strategic Plan goal. Please cite any evidence or data to support your request. If this position is categorically funded, include and designate the funding source of new categorically-funded position where continuation is contingent upon available funding. Spreadsheet: To be considered, requests must be added to the Resource Request Spreadsheet. Add your requests to your spreadsheet under the 2000b tab and check the box below once they’ve been added. Total number of positions requested (please fill in number of positions requested): X 6 Summary of positions requested completed in Program Review Resource Request Spreadsheet (please check box to left) Rationale for your proposal based on your program review conclusions. Include anticipated impact on student learning outcomes and alignment with the strategic plan goal. Indicate if this request is for the same, more, or fewer academic learning support positions. In order to allow one-on-one demonstration, extra assistant is needed. This position would greatly assist with classroom set-up, teardown, demonstration, and studio maintenance. A student assistant would allow for more time for instruction. How do the assessments that you performed to measure student learning outcomes (SLO’s) or service area outcomes (SAO’s) support this request? This will allow for greater focus on SLOs, because the instructor will have more time to focus on instruction. Appendix F5: Supplies Requests [Acct. Category 4000] Audience: Administrators, Budget Committee, PRBC Purpose: To request funding for supplies and service, and to guide the Budget Committee in allocation of funds. Instructions: In the area below, please list both your anticipated budgets and additional funding requests for categories 4000. Do NOT include conferences and travel, which are submitted on Appendix F6. Justify your request and explain in detail the need for any requested funds beyond those you received this year. Please also look for opportunities to reduce spending, as funds are limited. Spreadsheet: To be considered, requests must be added to the Resource Request Spreadsheet. Follow the link below and check the box below once they’ve been added. X SUPPLIES tab (4000) completed in Program Review Resource Request Spreadsheet (please check box to left) How do the assessments that you performed to measure student learning outcomes (SLO’s) or service area outcomes (SAO’s) support this request? We believe the rise in price of our Art Kits has impacted student success rates. We are going to collect more data to understand and find solutions to this problem. In the past, we charged a materials fee for each sculpture class, which enabled the discipline to maintain an adequate supply of materials. Classes that have historically had a high rate of success, at 80% or higher for the past three years (Art 20 and Art 22) have decreased in success (2% in Art 20 and 35% in Art 22.) The drop in success for classes with cost materials corresponds with the loss of a materials fee. We would like to purchase supplies for the student that are cheaper to buy in bulk, and require each student to purchase them individually. We also believe that the decrease in AT-CENSUS enrollment is tied to the cost of the materials. The Art faculty have surveyed our facilities, materials, equipment, and resources. We have noted multiple areas of need, please see attached worksheet. Appendix F6: Contracts & Services, Conference & Travel Requests [Acct. Category 5000] Audience: Staff Development Committee, Administrators, Budget Committee, PRBC Purpose: To request funding for contracts & services and conference attendance, and to guide the Budget and Staff Development Committees in allocation of funds. Instructions: Please list specific conferences/training programs, including specific information on the name of the conference and location. Your rationale should discuss student learning goals and/or connection to the Strategic Plan goal. Spreadsheet: To be considered, requests must be added to the Resource Request Spreadsheet. Follow the link below and check the box below once they’ve been added. 1. 2. There should be a separate line item for each contract or service. Travel costs should be broken out and then totaled (e.g., airfare, mileage, hotel, etc.) X TRAVEL/SERVICES tab (5000) completed in Program Review Resource Request Spreadsheet (please check box to left) Rationale: The Service Request: we need to have a model available for class instruction 75% of the course hours in order to meet the Student Learning Outcomes of the course. Travel Request is for the California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art in Spring of 2017. Attending this conference is an essential part of professional development. How do the assessments that you performed to measure student learning outcomes (SLO’s) or service area outcomes (SAO’s) support this request? Success rates for Life Drawing have fallen, which we believe is attributable to decreased availability of life drawing models. Appendix F7: Technology and Other Equipment Requests [Acct. Category 6000] Audience: Budget Committee, Technology Committee, Administrators Purpose: To be read and responded to by Budget Committee and to inform priorities of the Technology Committee. Instructions: Please fill in the following as needed to justify your requests .If you're requesting classroom technology, see http://www.chabotcollege.edu/audiovisual/Chabot%20College%20Standard.pdf for the brands/model numbers that are our current standards. If requesting multiple pieces of equipment, please rank order those requests. Include shipping cost and taxes in your request.

X EQUIPMENT tab (6000) completed in Program Review Resource Request Spreadsheet (please check box to left) Please follow the link here to make your request and summarize below http://intranet.clpccd.cc.ca.us/technologyrequest/default.htm The ability to show images in an art classroom in a essential instructional aid. Currently Rooms 1006, 1012, and 1016 have no digital projector or classroom computer available. Not having accessibility to these tools severely impacts student learning outcomes. Additionally, having WiFi access in the 1000 building is essential for student learning and research. Currently there is little to no WiFi access within 1006, 1012, 1016. Appendix F8: Facilities Requests Audience: Facilities Committee, Administrators Purpose: To be read and responded to by Facilities Committee. Background: Although some of the college's greatest needs involving new facilities cannot be met with the limited amount of funding left from Measure B, smaller pressing needs can be addressed. Projects that can be legally funded with bond dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, and equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities." In addition to approving the funding of projects, the FC participates in addressing space needs on campus, catalogs repair concerns, and documents larger facilities needs that might be included in future bond measures. Do NOT use this form for equipment or supply requests. Instructions: Please fill in the following as needed to justify your requests .If requesting more than one facilities project, please rank order your requests. Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Remodel 1000 Building/Location: 1000 building Type of Request ___ Space Need ___ Building Concern ___ Small Repair ___ Larger Facility Need _x__ Large Repair ___ Other (grounds, signage…) Description of the facility or grounds project. Please be as specific as possible. Electric Kiln Repair and Maintenance, Room 1016, see attached quote for specifics Gas Kiln Pilot Replacement, Room 1012, see attached quote for specifics Remodel of Room 1006, see attached list for specifics What educational programs or institutional purposes does this request support and with whom are you collaborating? To comply with the National Association of Schools of Art and Design Accreditation Standards for Facilities. We need to show that we have proper institutional support to maintain studio space and equipment. Briefly describe how your request supports the Strategic Plan Goal? This maintenance and renovation is critical to providing instruction in the fine arta. We need to have the proper maintenance of our studios. We cannot meet the accreditation facilities standard at this time, and specific equipment is failing--scheduled maintenance has been deferred for over 10 years. If it is not completed soon, the equipment will fail and have to be replaced (higher cost than the maintenance/repair).
