Effects of Visual Referents upon Representational Drawing of the Human Figure.

Dowell, Margaret L.

Studies in Art Education, v31 n2 p78-85 Win 1990

Examines the way first-year public high school students drew the human figure from life, photographs, and copies of master drawings. Finds that the three referents were not significantly different in supplying information to learn specified art elements. Maintains that drawing from life needs to be reexamined. (KM)
