The study presented a theoretical and empirical approach to the adult drawing process. Four possible sources of drawing inaccuracies were described: misperception of the object, inability to make good representational decisions, deficient motor skills, and misperception of the drawing. In four studies the degree to which the latter three sources contributed to drawing inaccuracies was assessed. The results suggest that (a) motor coordination is a very minimal source of drawing inaccuracies, (b) the artist's decision-making process is a relatively minor source of drawing inaccuracies, and (c) the artist's misperception of his or her work is not a source of drawing inaccuracies. These results suggest that the artist's misperception of the object is the major source of drawing errors.
University teachers who prepare mental health nurses require a variety of teaching techniques to encourage students to engage with the subject matter and to prepare for unknown future problems and dilemmas that they must resolve. Mental health nursing requires the development of specific discipline knowledge, intellectual skills, such as the ability to think laterally and make ethical decisions, and personal attributes, such as maturity and tolerance, as well as practical experience in collaborative care. This article offers a number of strategies that teachers may use in their classes to promote the development of these mental health nursing skills. Other teachers might use these examples to trigger the development of their own repertoire of teaching skills for beginning mental health nurses.
