1. 
   List current faculty and staff members in the program, areas of expertise, and how positions contribute to the program success.
   

The Art Department is comprised of five disciplines. There is currently one full-time tenured faculty in the Art Department with a service area in 2D Arts. In the last five years, the Art Department has lost two full-time positions: in Digital Media; and in 3D/Sculpture/Jewelry. For the last six years the Art Department has requested that the EVC Academic Senate recommend to the President a full-time hire in Art History. Art History made the recommendation list in 2007 and 2008, and in 2009 was listed as the Senate’s #2 recommended new hire.

FULL-TIME FACULTY

BFA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute

MFA in Pictorial Arts from San Jose State University
Areas of Expertise: Drawing, Painting, Color, Design, Art Appreciation
How Her Position Contributes to the Program Success:

Rachel began teaching in 2000, and taught at EVC and several other Bay Area colleges as a part-time instructor for several years before becoming full-time tenured faculty at EVC in 2005. Rachel is a practicing artist who works in a variety of drawing and painting media. She brings a variety of teaching methods to the classroom and strives to make the EVC Art Department a dynamic, exciting and welcoming environment. Acting in a leadership roll, Rachel is the only full-time faculty in the Art Department, and her organizational skills and ambitions for the Department have created opportunities for students outside of the classroom that enrich their experience at EVC.

BA California State University Sacramento

MFA San Francisco Art Institute
Areas of Expertise: Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Web Technologies and Design
How His Position Contributes to Program Success:

Amir Esfahani's experience as an artist allows him to teach a very wide array of media in the visual arts and design. He received his BA in drawing and painting from CSUS, and primarily focused in sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute. He began teaching multi-disciplinary classes at the San Francisco art institute including collage, sculpture, mold making, and web design. Along with his artistic endeavors, Esfahani currently consults web productions and engineering teams for several fortune 500 companies, most notably Sybase, Dunn and Bradstreet, Hoovers, and AllBusiness.com. This experience allows him to give his design students lessons in real world scenarios and case studies. At Evergreen valley he has taught a wide range of classes including Beginning Drawing, Expressive Drawing, Art Appreciation, and Graphic Design.

M.F.A.    Digital Media Art, San Jose State University

M.F.A Master of Fine Art Degree in Pictorial, San Jose State University

I joined Evergreen Valley College in 2006 as an Adjunct lecturer and have taught Beginning Drawing, Two-Dimensional Concept, Representational/Perspective Drawing, and Art Appreciation. I have extended experiences of teaching at various institutions including numerous community colleges like De Anza College, Santa Rosa Junior College, Ohlone College, San Jose City College, San Jose State University, and University of California, Davis. My professional art practices and years of experiences bring creative assignments and learning processes which inspire students’ independent thinking as well as their understanding of others.

MA Fine Arts, San Jose State University

MFA Pictorial Arts, San Jose State University
Areas of expertise: art history including lower and upper division survey classes, art appreciation and correlation of the arts classes. Studio classes including drawing, design, color, painting and printmaking.
How your position contributes to program success: I contribute to program success through the insights allowed by having started my education as a community college student, as well as having considerable experience (25 years) in art education. I understand and have great empathy for the difficulties of students who may be the first in their family to even seek a college education, those with financial problems and those that need remedial help. I've repeatedly taught every class in the western art history curriculum, I've developed and written curriculum for both art history and studio classes including Humanities I at San Jose City College and Correlation of the arts at Cabrillo College. I've also taught the great majority of studio classes including printmaking, painting, drawing, design and others. I've taught at seven different institutions of higher education including two universities and five community colleges: I feel I bring a great deal of expertise and empathy to the classroom whether in the studio or the lecture hall and always with a careful sensitivity to the remarkable diversity and individual needs of our students.
