DESCRIPTION:Before methods for drawing accurately in perspective were deve
 loped in the 15th century\, many artists drew with divergent perspective. 
 But we found that about half of a group of 80 students drew with divergent
  perspective. However\, they selected a cube from a set of tapered boxes w
 ith great accuracy and were reasonably accurate in selecting the correct d
 rawing of a cube from a set of tapered drawings. An analysis of errors in 
 drawings of a cube and of isolated edges and surfaces of a cube revealed s
 everal factors that predispose people to draw in divergent perspective.
