INTRODUCTION T h i s study was born out of my need t o know more about the g e n e r a l s t a t e of a r t equipment and f a c i l i t i e s i n secondary s c h o o l s i n B r i t i s h Columbia. My t e a c h i n g e x p e r i e n c e i s one of r e b u i l d i n g e x i s t i n g a r t programs i n a s m a l l r u r a l s c h o o l and implementing new a r t courses i n a v e r y l a r g e urban s c h o o l . The i n i t i a l m o t i v a t i o n f o r t h i s study i s , \". . . based on the assumption t h a t l e a r n i n g i s ac h i e v e d through i n q u i r y , t h a t i n q u i r y i s most e f f e c t i v e l y m o t i v a t e d by c u r i o s i t y and t h a t c u r i o s i t y e v o l v e s out of the i n t e r e s t s and v a l u e s o f the l e a r n e r \" (M. E r i c k s o n 1977, p. 22); as w e l l as an understanding t h a t those i n t e r e s t s and v a l u e s are manifested i n the m a n i p u l a t i o n o f m a t e r i a l s and the h a n d l i n g o f equipment. My ex p e r i e n c e i n r e b u i l d i n g and implementing a r t programs i n both r u r a l and urban areas added meaning t o o t h e r s t u d i e s o f the s t a t u s o f a r t equipment and f a c i l i t i e s i n B r i t i s h Columbia secondary s c h o o l s . Consequently, t h i s study would add t o t h a t data bank. Yet, t h i s i s o n l y the i n i t i a l s t e p , f o r the most important t a s k — t h e s o r t i n g and 2 making use of t h i s i n f o r m a t i o n — i s s t i l l t o be done. Who i s to do i t ? C o n n e l l y e t a l (1980), b e l i e v e t h a t \". . . i n the f i n a l a n a l y s i s we the t e a c h e r s do.\" Simply, i t i s the t e a c h e r who i s charged w i t h the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y o f t a k i n g a c t i o n ( i n the classroom) on i n f o r m a t i o n p r o v i d e d by r e s e a r c h (p. 35). Armed w i t h such data, a r t t e a c h e r s a re i n a b e t t e r p o s i t i o n t o make a comparative check and more a c c u r a t e l y e v a l u a t e t h e i r own classroom f a c i l i t i e s and equipment. W i t h i n a s o c i e t y a t any g i v e n time the p o t e n t i a l f o r change i s not r e a d i l y measurable, nor i s the l i k e l i h o o d o f any p a r t i c u l a r change or s e t of changes o c c u r r i n g w i t h i n a c e r t a i n time e a s i l y e s t a b l i s h e d . T h i s data c o u l d be used on a p r o f e s s i o n a l b a s i s , t o make recommendations f o r changes and improvements. I t i s e x c e p t i o n a l l y d i f f i c u l t t o determine what program p o s s i b i l i t i e s a l l o w f o r d e v e l o p i n g new secondary s c h o o l a r t f a c i l i t i e s w ithout any i n f o r m a t i o n on the c o n d i t i o n s under which a r t i s b e i n g taught. T h i s study c o u l d be a c a t a l y s t t o f u r t h e r renewal o f a r t e d u c a t i o n r e s e a r c h i n t o programs and f a c i l i t i e s . Reviewing the r e s u l t s o f t h i s study and comparing them w i t h the p a s t data may enhance t h e p i c t u r e o f whether a r t f a c i l i t i e s a re b e t t e r o f f o r worse than they used t o be. 3 F i n a l l y data from t h i s study c o u l d a s s i s t i n the development of more p r a c t i c a l and f u n c t i o n a l f a c i l i t i e s and environments f o r t e a c h i n g and l e a r n i n g a r t . B. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM We have l i t t l e i n f o r m a t i o n about a r t e d u c a t i o n equipment and f a c i l i t i e s a t the secondary l e v e l i n v a r i o u s s c h o o l s i n the p r o v i n c e ; and how these f a c i l i t i e s a f f e c t the type o f a r t program o f f e r e d . I t i s assumed t h a t t h e r e a re s e v e r a l u n d e r l y i n g concerns about the c o n d i t i o n s under which a r t i s taught a t the secondary s c h o o l l e v e l (Gray, MacGregor, 1985). T h i s type o f i n f o r m a t i o n , exchanged i n f o r m a l l y i n d i s c u s s i o n s and c o n v e r s a t i o n s u s u a l l y concerns extremes i n e x i s t i n g c o n d i t i o n s o r a m a j o r i t y o f \"normal\" o r \"everyday\" s i t u a t i o n s . Although i n f o r m a t i o n i s important t o some a r t t e a c h e r s i n terms o f d e v e l o p i n g t h e i r own programs and i n f a c i l i t y upgrading t h e r e i s not t h a t much i n f o r m a t i o n o r r e s e a r c h on s p e c i a l a r t f a c i l i t i e s and equipment. T h i s i s f u r t h e r compounded i n t h a t the v i s u a l a r t s , as i n o t h e r areas o f s p e c i a l i z e d knowledge, have been, t o a l a r g e e x t e n t , i s o l a t e d from one another. M i c h a e l F u l l a n , i n h i s book, The Meaning of Education Change, (1982) s t a t e s : \" i f 4 e d u c a t i o n a l change i s t o happen, i t w i l l r e q u i r e t h a t t e a c h e r s understand themselves and be understood by o t h e r s . . . i n o r d e r t o c o n s i d e r change, we must f i r s t understand s t a b i l i t y and o r d e r \" (p. 107). Before any change can be e f f e c t e d , t h e r e must be a thorough knowledge of e x i s t i n g c o n d i t i o n s (MacGregor 1969, F u l l a n 1982)• For i n s t a n c e , many a r t t e a c h e r s are unaware o f the range o r the nature o f a r t programs o u t s i d e t h e i r own; And y e t , w i t h a c c e l e r a t e d s o c i a l and c u l t u r a l changes the need t o examine the p r e s e n t day s i t u a t i o n i s most urgent. Only then can t e a c h e r s prepare f o r the i n e v i t a b l e e d u c a t i o n a l changes. M i c h a e l F u l l a n suggests t h a t t h i s knowledge, a primary f u n c t i o n a s s o c i a t e d w i t h the change p r o c e s s , i s n e g l e c t e d . He s t a t e s : Teachers do not have time f o r , (or t h e i r c u l t u r e does not support) r e f l e c t i o n or a n a l y s i s e i t h e r i n d i v i d u a l l y o r c o l l e c t i v e l y about what they a r e d o i n g . Teachers seldom i n v i t e each o t h e r i n t o t h e i r c l a s s e s , b e i n g p r i v a t e has a l o n g t r a d i t i o n (p. 118). By b e i n g p r i v a t e persons, o p p o r t u n i t i e s t o improve one's s i t u a t i o n a r e missed. By b e i n g aware o f a l t e r n a t i v e s , a g r e a t e r range o f c h o i c e s i s p o s s i b l e . 5 Since the secondary l e v e l a r t teacher i s the prime mover and best knows the a r t programs, courses and f a c i l i t i e s i n t h e i r schools, an accurate d e s c r i p t i o n of art f a c i l i t i e s and equipment can best be c o l l e c t e d from them. Therefore, a study of the current conditions with respect to f a c i l i t i e s and equipment being used by secondary a r t teachers i n B r i t i s h Columbia was conducted. The purpose of the study was to survey the f a c i l i t i e s and equipment i n use i n secondary a r t programs and provide a si n g l e comprehensive source of reference f o r a r t educators i n B r i t i s h Columbia. This compilation of facts and information i s now available to teachers who want to learn more about a r t f a c i l i t i e s other than t h e i r own, as a basis f o r improving t h e i r own art programs. C. RESEARCH QUESTIONS Questions of concern are: 1. Under what physical conditions i s a r t taught i n the secondary schools? 2. What types of equipment are a v a i l a b l e to secondary a r t teachers? 3. What types of f a c i l i t i e s are being used and/or developed i n secondary a r t programs? 6 4. What s p e c i f i c a r t courses are o f f e r e d i n secondary a r t programs i n B r i t i s h Columbia? 5. As a r e s u l t of the 1983 p u b l i c a t i o n of the 1981 Secondary Art Guide, are the a r t s t u d e n t s i n B r i t i s h Columbia e x p e r i e n c i n g and working w i t h improved f a c i l i t i e s ? 6. What are the y e a r l y budgets f o r s u p p l i e s and equipment? D. DEFINITION OF TERMS For the purposes of t h i s study, the f o l l o w i n g terms are d e f i n e d and used as i n d i c a t e d here.

The f a c t t h a t some o f these s t u d i e s o r i g i n a t e i n A l b e r t a and the U n i t e d S t a t e s does not l i m i t t h e i r v a l i d i t y and i n c l u s i o n i n t h i s study. T h i s i s because a r t programs i n North America do not v a r y s u b s t a n t i a l l y i n e i t h e r p h i l o s o p h i c a l content or methodology (MacGregor 1969, p. 2 ) .

Review o f the L i t e r a t u r e This study of f a c i l i t i e s and equipment i s i n no way intended to exhaust a l l the p o s s i b i l i t i e s f o r improving or b u i l d i n g an a r t program. A h i s t o r i c a l review of the related l i t e r a t u r e i n B r i t i s h Columbia has revealed that t h i s type of a r t education research has contributed i n measuring, understanding, and evaluating e x i s t i n g a r t programs (John 1974, Hodder 1972, Woodcock 1979, Colton 1965). Unfortunately, for some a r t teachers, the equipment, to o l s , and f a c i l i t i e s become useful only i n developing s k i l l as an end i n i t s e l f . In t h i s regard, John Michael (1980), suggests that under such conditions; The a r t curriculum, then becomes a seri e s of s k i l f u l l y executed exercises ... that the product becomes s u p e r f i c i a l with no \"soul\" or expression. I t i s the wise art teacher who appropriately develops s k i l l of the students as a means to create a r t ... yet ... s k i l l should always be a secondary consideration and should contribute to the expression so as to bring about a harmonious integ r a t i o n (1980, p. 18). Not o n l y does t h i s a t t i t u d e do l i t t l e t o enhance the p u b l i c image o f d e d i c a t e d i n d i v i d u a l s who devote t h e i r l i v e s • > t o t he a r t s , i t a l s o s e r i o u s l y underestimates the importance of any a e s t h e t i c c o n s i d e r a t i o n s t h a t must come i n t o p l a y w h i l e the t e c h n i c a l s k i l l i s taught and used. Although the B.C. A r t guide was d e s i g n e d t o a s s i s t the c l a s s r o o m a r t t e a c h e r i n d e v e l o p i n g a sound a r t c u r r i c u l u m , i t s purpose was not t o \" o f f e r \" a complete, d e t a i l e d , comprehensive p l a n . However, f o r d e v e l o p i n g a v i a b l e and e f f e c t i v e a r t program i t c l e a r l y i d e n t i f i e s a wide v a r i e t y o f methods, i d e a s , techniques, equipment and f a c i l i t i e s t o be used.

A l s o , the guide encourages the a r t t e a c h e r t o t e a c h s t u d e n t s how t o l e a r n about a r t . The a r t s t u d e n t i s expected t o demonstrate a knowledge o f , and use o f a v a r i e t y of mediums and t e c h n i q u e s . The student i s a l s o encouraged t o develop c o n s i d e r a t i o n s f o r imagery, the elements and p r i n c i p l e s o f d e s i g n , h i s t o r i c a l and contemporary developments, and reasoned c r i t i c i s m . The c u r r i c u l u m i s t o be c o n c e i v e d as p r o v i d i n g developmental a c t i v i t i e s f o r 16 s t u d e n t s , as w e l l as having an i n t e l l e c t u a l dimension. T h i s r e q u i r e s t h a t a r t t e a c h e r s approach the t e a c h i n g of a r t i n a more a n a l y t i c a l , s e l f - e v a l u a t i v e , and c r i t i c a l f a s h i o n i n r e l a t i o n t o s o c i e t y .

For example, more a t t e n t i o n must be p l a c e d on s p e c i f i c e f f o r t , s p e c i f i c purpose, s p e c i f i c g o a l s , s p e c i f i c p h i l o s o p h y , and s p e c i f i c equipment and f a c i l i t i e s . Perhaps, s t i l l i n the 20th c e n t u r y , the o l d adage t h a t a workman i s no b e t t e r than h i s t o o l s h o l d s t r u e . For example, i n the implementation o f l e a r n i n g outcomes i n ceramics, the B r i t i s h Columbia Secondary Art Guide suggests t h a t ; a student s h o u l d demonstrate knowledge o f , and the a b i l i t y t o use, the a p p l i c a t i o n o f m a t e r i a l s , t o o l s and equipment, i n p r o c e s s e s i n a r t (p. 75). Some o f the p o s s i b i l i t i e s i n r e l a t i o n t o ceramics equipment are suggested. They a r e : p u g m i l l s , dough mixers, k i c k and e l e c t r i c wheels, b a l l m i l l s , e x t r u d e r s , e l e c t r i c and gas k i l n s (p. 76-77). The a r t c u r r i c u l u m guide c o n t i n u e s t o suggest t h a t i n a l l mediums such as drawing and p a i n t i n g equipment such as: drawing boards, paper c u t t e r s , l i g h t t a b l e s , e a s e l s , 17 a i r b r u s h e s and spray p a i n t s (p. 107-108). For g r a p h i c s and photography the equipment l i s t i s f a r more e x t e n s i v e and a l i s t o f p o s s i b i l i t i e s i s p r o v i d e d .

In t e x t i l e s , equipment such as drum c a r d e r s , sewing machines, looms, s p i n n i n g wheels, and dye v a t s a re suggested (p. 194). Review of the Previous Research In the summer o f 1958, the U n i v e r s i t y o f B r i t i s h Columbia hosted the second B r i t i s h Columbia A r t Resource Conference.

The body o f knowledge c o n c e r n i n g the a r t programs o f f e r e d and the f a c i l i t i e s a v a i l a b l e was, a c c o r d i n g t o Hodder, v e r y l i g h t indeed (Hodder 1973, p. 2). In h i s study, Art Programs and F a c i l i t i e s i n Secondary Schools in Bri t i s h Columbia (1972), Hodder s t a t e d t h a t g r e a t s t r i d e s had been made i n the a r t area a t the secondary l e v e l i n some s c h o o l s and some d i s t r i c t s , and t h a t those l e s s f o r t u n a t e s c h o o l s would h o p e f u l l y b e n e f i t from t h i s generous s h a r i n g o f knowledge by t h e i r c o l l e a g u e s ... a l l o w i n g them t o check, compare and improve t h e i r s i t u a t i o n s (p. 35). While t h e r e was evidence t o support the f a c t t h a t improvements were o c c u r r i n g a f t e r the Hodder study, the r e a l i t y r e f l e c t e d i n a s i m i l a r study suggested otherwise. L a u r i e John (1974), as p a r t o f h i s course work a t the U n i v e r s i t y o f B r i t i s h Columbia, undertook a survey examining 20 much the same p o p u l a t i o n as Hodder d i d two ye a r s p r e v i o u s l y . He r e p o r t e d t h a t some of the same i s s u e s t h a t were r a i s e d and d i s c u s s e d e a r l i e r s t i l l needed t o be adequately addressed. He i d e n t i f i e d these as communication, c o n d i t i o n s and t e a c h e r t r a i n i n g (p. 16, 49). The f i r s t , a l a c k o f or f a u l t y communication between a r t e d u c a t i o n t h e o r e t i c i a n s / r e s e a r c h e r s and p r a c t i t i o n e r s , p revented new r e s e a r c h from having impact on classroom a c t i v i t i e s . P o s s i b l y , however, t h i s l a c k o f or f a u l t y communication i s not an important f a c t o r , s i n c e i t i s h i g h l y u n l i k e l y t h a t even good r e s e a r c h w i l l make any c o n t r i b u t i o n i f i t remains e s s e n t i a l l y w i t h i n a c l o s e d system. No amount of good t h i n k i n g by i t s e l f w i l l address the u b i q u i t o u s problem o f f a u l t y communication (Sarason 1972, i n F u l l a n , p. 206). I t (research) c l e a r l y needs a mode f o r t r a n s l a t i n g and d i s s e m i n a t i n g the newly d i s c o v e r e d knowledge (John 1974, p. 10). Secondly, t h e r e appeared t o be; \"no consensus on an adequate p h i l o s o p h y amongst a r t educators . . . \" (p. 16). Many a r t t e a c h e r s simply chose t o d u p l i c a t e t o a g r e a t e x t e n t o n l y the \" a c t i o n s \" accomplished by p r o f e s s i o n a l a r t i s t s , w i t h no thought t o a r t e d u c a t i o n t h e o r y (p. 49). In 1978, The N a t i o n a l Task Force on A r t s and E d u c a t i o n o f the Canadian Conference of t h e A r t s launched a n a t i o n a l 21 i n q u i r y i n t o the a r t s and e d u c a t i o n i n Canada. In the s p r i n g o f 1978, as p a r t of t h i s i n q u i r y , a B r i t i s h Columbia Committee on t h e A r t s and E d u c a t i o n was e s t a b l i s h e d . T h i s s t e e r i n g committee was r e s p o n s i b l e f o r c o l l e c t i n g i n f o r m a t i o n on a r t s and e d u c a t i o n i n B r i t i s h Columbia, c o m p i l i n g a r e p o r t , and making recommendations. One of the recommendations a t the secondary e d u c a t i o n a l l e v e l f e l l under p r o v i s i o n s of s p e c i a l i z e d r e s o u r c e s . Once a g a i n , the survey i d e n t i f i e d s e v e r a l major concerns o f a r t t e a c h e r s . One of the concerns s t r e s s e d was t h a t i t i s v i t a l i n the a r t s t o have s p e c i a l i z e d s u p p o r t i v e h e l p a v a i l a b l e t o the s c h o o l s and t o i n d i v i d u a l t e a c h e r s . Another was t h a t t h e r e s t i l l e x i s t e d a need t o \" e c o n o m i c a l l y and e f f e c t i v e l y \" (p. x i i ) upgrade the q u a l i t y o f a r t s e d u c a t i o n i n the s c h o o l s .

While i t appears t h a t s e v e r a l s t u d i e s have attempted t o survey the c o n d i t i o n s of a r t programs i n an e f f o r t t o improve the s t a t u s of a r t e d u c a t i o n , any quest f o r sources o f i n f o r m a t i o n c o n c e r n i n g a r t f a c i l i t i e s and equipment being used today a t the secondary l e v e l i n d i c a t e s how such a compact, a c c e s s i b l e data bank of t h e s e r e s o u r c e s i s l a c k i n g . absence o f a d e f i n i t e p a t t e r n t o pursue i n f o r m a t i o n as t o k i n d s of t r a i n i n g and o t h e r knowledge co n c e r n i n g the v i s u a l a r t s , and where i t may be a v a i l a b l e has been, no doubt, an unconscious source o f d e f e a t or p r o g r e s s and o f f r u s t r a t i o n ( C o l t o n 1965, p. 3). Yet, as r e c e n t l y as 1985, Gray and MacGregor determined t h a t ; The nature of r e s e a r c h c o n c e r n i n g a v a r i e t y of i n t e r l o c k i n g r e l a t i o n s h i p s such as course content, t h e o r y , p r o d u c t i o n , implementation and e v a l u a t i o n w i t h t e a c h e r p e r s o n a l i t y c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s , v a l u e s , s o c i a l s k i l l s , p r o f e s s i o n a l a c t i v i t i e s and p r e -s e r v i c e t r a i n i n g , were s t i l l r e l a t i v e l y u n s t u d i e d and unmonitored (p. 25).

RESTATEMENT OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM As d i s c u s s e d i n Chapter One, the aim o f the study was t o determine the c u r r e n t c o n d i t i o n s , and a v a i l a b i l i t y o f a r t f a c i l i t i e s and equipment i n secondary a r t programs throughout B r i t i s h Columbia. The purpose was t o p r o v i d e a s i n g l e comprehensive source o f r e f e r e n c e t o a r t t e a c h e r s c o n c e r n i n g a r t e d u c a t i o n f a c i l i t i e s and equipment i n B r i t i s h Columbia. B. CONCLUSIONS F i n d i n g s from the data were compiled t o e s t a b l i s h a p i c t u r e o f the c o n d i t i o n s o f the a r t f a c i l i t i e s throughout the p r o v i n c e o f B r i t i s h Columbia and t o determine what equipment i s b e i n g used i n the a r t programs. The r e s u l t i n g c o n c l u s i o n s and recommendations made are simply i n d i c a t i o n s which show the immediate outcomes of the survey q u e s t i o n n a i r e . The success o f t h i s study and i t s recommendations w i l l o n l y be measured by the q u a l i t y c a r e and r a p i d a t t e n t i o n i n which the data p r e s e n t e d i n t h i s study becomes outdated i n f u t u r e s t u d i e s of t h i s k i n d (Corton 1965, p. 87). As may be expected, some s c h o o l s have b e t t e r a r t f a c i l i t i e s than o t h e r s . Even the s i z e of any g i v e n s c h o o l b u i l d i n g i n B r i t i s h Columbia v a r y . T h i s study r e v e a l s t h a t 113 (60%) of the sample p o p u l a t i o n have one a r t room. Of these respondents, who t e a c h i n s c h o o l s of student p o p u l a t i o n s o f 500 or more, t h i s s i n g l e f a c i l i t y i s not adequate t o permit proper implementations of the a r t courses l i s t e d i n the Art Guide, grades 8-12 (1983). These c o n d i t i o n s impose c o n s i d e r a b l e burdens on the i n v o l v e d respondents i n t h a t many a r t a c t i v i t i e s such as p o t t e r y , p r i n t m a k i n g , s i l k s c r e e n i n g and s c u l p t u r e cannot be undertaken o p t i m a l l y because of r e s t r i c t e d space. I t might be s a i d , t h a t t h e i r s t u d e n t s , are i n f a c t , d e n i e d involvement i n many a r t a c t i v i t i e s t h a t are suggested i n the 127 B r i t i s h Columbia A r t C u r r i c u l u m Guide (1983). C l a s s s i z e i s another important f a c t o r i n the development of an a r t program (Hodder 1974, p. 32). Many respondents i n d i c a t e d t h a t t h e i r c l a s s s i z e was i n excess o f 26 stu d e n t s per c l a s s . Only a few noted a maximum c l a s s s i z e o f l e s s than 25 s t u d e n t s . Again many a r t a c t i v i t i e s such as s c u l p t u r e , ceramics, and printmaking are c o n t i n g e n t upon the a v a i l a b l e space. The e f f e c t o f the s u p p l i e s and equipment a l l o c a t i o n upon any a r t program i s obvious. I t i s reasonable t o assume t h a t a low budget has a r e s t r i c t i v e e f f e c t on m a t e r i a l s and equipment a v a i l a b l e . T h i s study r e v e a l s t h a t e i t h e r 122 do not know t h e i r budget a l l o c a t i o n s , or do not come t o know what t h e i r s u p p l i e s o r equipment budget i s . A l s o 153 do not supplement t h e i r s i t u a t i o n s by c h a r g i n g a r t f e e s . Ninety-one p e r c e n t (172) of the respondents i n d i c t e d t h a t they have the necessary equipment t o te a c h ceramics. N i n e t y - f o u r (50%) i n d i c a t e d they had equipment t h a t enabled them t o t e a c h i n t a g l i o p r intmaking. Ninety-two (49%) noted they were a b l e t o te a c h photography. Seventy-two (38%) had use o f v i d e o / a u d i o equipment i n the c l a s s room. Nin e t y (48%) were a b l e t o te a c h drawing and p a i n t i n g , and even l e s s 128 58 (31%) were s e t up i n a way t h a t allowed them t o te a c h a pr o p e r f a b r i c s and t e x t i l e s c l a s s .
