How to Improve Art in Schools

To carry out some primary research and find out what real people think about how art is taught in schools, I am planning a few surveys.  I want to find out why people enjoyed art lessons or why they did not and how people think they could be improved.  I am considering sending out surveys to adults and perhaps trying to get a group of children to fill out.

Question Idea's I have so far:  (these will be developed)

• Did/ does art in school relate to your personal interests?
• Did/do you feel like you had an input in what you got to do/explore?
• Did/ do you feel that everyone in the class got equal encouragement and support?
• Were you taught that art is a broad subject area?
• Did/ do you feel that you had the freedom to explore your creativity?
• Did/ do you feel that art lessons in school offered you many creative experiences or a few limited ones?
• What do you think about time allocated for lessons? More? Less? Enough?
• What other creative subjects did/do they teach in your school? Drama, Graphics, Music, Textiles, Product Design
