Mission
Our mission offers outstanding artistic education. We seek to attract a diversity of
students, to engage them, challenge them, and educationally provide a nurturing
environment. Our department intends to offer students instruction to embrace
themselves, society, and the pursuit of shared and individual understanding. Our
vision is people talking, loving art and being together. We are leaders of the
ongoing and new idea of art and intend to build an environment of innovative
inclusion where the ideas of the student can grow - be they, new, popular or
against the grain. All of this depends on knowing where we are and enthusiastically
recognizing the technological future and developments of the new century.
Philosophically, we recognize individuality and we adapt to our students distinct
learning styles, making us flexible educators. Also, in partnership with our
community, we shape and susain our future.

The Art department offers an AA
degree thus enhancing the possibilities for
students wishing to enter the workforce or
transfer to another institution. The College of
Alameda’s art courses offer a visual education
coupled with critical thinking. The Art
department helps students succeed as an
integral partner in the coursework for the
college. For example, the Introduction to Art
History course offers an opportunity to learn
about the world of art and also introduces much
content for students to focus upon in gaining
writing skills. This study may apply to a wide
range of students and, for example, students of
programs such as ESL.
2)
The Art department is open to students
of all ages and backgrounds. Art courses foster
dialog and build community through shared
concerns. The College of Alameda has a
unique opportunity to embrace Art and with
leadership create a dynamic partnership with
the City of Alameda and the East Bay at large.
3)
In our changing world, Art offers
ongoing traditions of humanity and the cutting
edge excitement of tomorrow. A program at the
College of Alameda is sustainable as the future
of our community unfolds.
4)
Innovation is at the heart and mind of
what civilization has termed Art. All civilizations
and successful societies, of merit, may credit
the teaching of Art as a major contributor to the
well being of individuals as well as the
community at large. When we consider
greatness of any people, we consider Art. Art,
by its very nature, is collaborative in that it is a
medium of communication.
5)
The College of Alameda has a great
resource in its people. It is people who will
sustain the Art program at the College of
Alameda. As it is our mission to serve our
students in their dreams and aspirations, so to
is it true that we must provide time-sensitive
instruction, a bedrock of skills and innovative
problems to address to better serve them in the

VIII. Action Plan


Please describe your plan for responding to the above data. Consider curriculum,
pedagogy/instructional, scheduling, and marketing strategies. Also, please reference any cross district
collaboration with the same discipline at other Peralta colleges.
Include overall plans/goals and specific action steps.
October 11, 2010
Curriculum – Based on the CSEP Results for Sections and Productivity, the current listing of
sections reflects a beginning in productivity but would probably be even higher if we offered all our
course offerings and had a full-time faculty member. The logical action for this particular area would be
to secure a full-time faculty member with the skills to maintain and grow this already successful
program. We currently offer Drawing. Painting and Introduction to Art History. It is our intention to offer
additional courses listed in the catalog. Basic Design has been taught with success at the college and
would be a viable addition the aforementioned courses. A further logical step would be to hire a full time
faculty member with the ability to manage our program, participate in shared college governance, teach
the core program on campus and facilitate adjunct instructors.


Pedagogy/Instructional – In 2002, the Department had its highest enroll, then dropped down from
2003-2005 and has begun to climb in 2006. Our pedagogy has increased the rigor of the class, an
enhanced textbook with supplemental information including films and extensive slide presentations
which has positively impacted student persistence and retention.


Scheduling – Our current scheduling appears to be meeting the student’s needs and the
instructional integrity of the course offerings. We intend to increase our offerings, as stated, and
reintroduce Basic Design following the Introduction to Art History course on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It
is thought that this may lead to retention of students within our department. A further improvement may
be additional courses scheduled to build a ‘center’. An expanded program may include night courses
such as, Watercolor painting, Figure Drawing, the art history courses----‘World Art’ or ‘Modern Art’. The
art program will need blocks of available time for students and staff in the art room itself----the art
department could function within the school as a design center.In addition with full time personnel an
afternoon ‘art club’ is something under consideration.


Marketing Strategies – At this time, the department is partially satisfied with the marketing be done,
but are looking to reach out more extensively to the greater Alameda community. It is thought that the
department could benefit with increased marketing to Alameda residents of a wide nature including
students of varied ages and socio-economic backgrounds. Currently the classes are representative of
the diverse multicultural make-up of the college. The department enthusiastically embraces the
wonderful cross section of peoples we are so fortunate to receive at the College of Alameda.

Describe results of assessment
In the Introduction to Art History course we are assessing student understanding with written tests, essay
tests, and the writing of papers. The results show that students are learning the material. The Art History
class retains students with a high degree of success coupled with a range of scores indicating the rigor
of the coursewwork. Students with grades of 'D' and below return to improve their grade in successive
semesters----this indicates students are satisfied with the instruction and the fairness of the grading
system.
In the studio courses of Drawing and Painting student development and understanding is assessed with
direct contact between teacher and student. The students work with the teacher during each session.
The students turn in artwork for review and participate in critiques among peers. At the close of the
semester students complete a portfolio for review.
