The relationship of drawing skills to visual perceptual abilities in year 7 students

The aim of this field study was to investigate
the relationship between visual perceptual processes
and drawing ability in Year 7 students in the
Australian Capital Territory.
A random sample of five classes from five High
Schools, consisting of 113 year 7 students, was tested
for their ability in representational and memory
drawing, and a sample of good drawers was chosen by a
panel of five Independent judges.
The drawing ability of the "Good" Drawers Sample
was tested by means of Field's Visual Information
Transformation Test (VIT), and the visual perceptual
processes were tested using MacGregor's Perceptual
Index.(MPI) A statistical analysis of the ranked
scores was made using the Kruskal Wallis Analysis of
Variance, the Spearman Rho rank order correlation, and
the Mann Whitney U Test.
