Program Strengths - Faculty Sharing our Experienced Based Knowledge, love for the arts, and selfless donatin of our time to our students, makes us the standout Art program in our district.

Program -- Challenges Congestion: Enlarging and Remodeling the Existing Classrooms for the Art Department is needed. Demand for Instructional Assistance in our classes each semester: Increasing our IA’s hours and hiring a new IA to meet this demand is needed. Over 6 FTE loss: We are unable to offer courses every semester our students need. Our existing classrooms are congested and safety hazard particularly if there were an emergency situation. OSHA safety standards between equipment, students and walkways, FA 501 and 502 lack this standard.

To Maintain our 78.86% Student Success Rate: FTE Growth to augment our efficient Studio Art Transfer and A.A. Degrees and Certificates Full time Faculty Replacement and I.A. growth to maintain the quality of our dedicated People Modernization and Enlargement of our classrooms for Efficiency and Safety. The ARTS matter, we have a place in our society and college! To maintain the strengths we have established: Almost 80% Student Success rate and 68.82% of our students completed our courses with a grade of B or higher, both above the campus average 1) FTE growth so our program and curriculum can fulfill our students needs.. 2) Full-Time Faculty Replacement to replace, the soon to be many, full-time faculty members that offered their expertise, wisdom, experienced-gained knowledge, and time to our students. This kind of dedications needs full-time faculty presence. the arts are a necessity in life and have a place in our society and college; we live this philosophy as an example for our students and our community. Our full time, adjunct, and staff are selfless and go beyond the call of duty, by donating our time, sharing our experienced-gained knowledge to create the activities and events that help our students succeed. 3) The modernization of our existing classrooms in both size and in maintaining or replacing equipment. We need technological updates in most of our classrooms, as faculty we'd like to walk up to a smart podium, insert our flash-drive and start a media presentation, we cannot do that in most of our classrooms right now. 4) Health and Safety concerns remain at the forefront, particularly increasing the size of FA 501, 502, and 510 where our Figure Program is taught. The congestion in these rooms is a problem. 5) Increase our current I.A.'s contracts to a minimum of 10-months so they can assist the instructors in the classrooms, and then have the time after the semesters are over to complete the other obligations that they are required to do, like manage our PAC collection, maintain our classrooms, labs, and inventory.
