Review of Recent Literature on Figure Drawing Tests as Related to Research Problems in Art Education

McWhinnie, Harold J.

Review of Educational Research, 41, 2, 131-142, Apr 71

McFee's perception-delineation theory is supported. Major methodological problems of the psychological research presented are in the area of set and the control of specific art materials. Among the conclusions: figure drawing may not be culture fair; a person trained in visual arts should be employed in research using figure drawing tests. (VW)
