“…The high correlations in this study are inconsistent with results reported by Amabile (1982), Christiaans (2002), and Trowbridge and Charles (1966), who found little relation between technical skill and originality. There are several possible reasons for these discrepancies.…”

“…A factor analysis revealed two similar factors in both groups of judges, the first seemingly related to "Hedonic tone" (Berlyne & Ogilvie, 1974) and "evaluation" (Tucker, 1955, cited in Osgood, Suci, & Tannenbaum, 1957, and a second factor, "dynamism." While the two studies described above found high correlations between originality and technical skill, this pattern is not universal, For example, Trowbridge & Charles (1966) examined 150 paintings done by children aged 3 to 18. Three judges trained in art education evaluated the technical competence and creativity of the paintings on 11-point scales.…”

“…These studies are informative, but they give inconsistent results and leave some questions unanswered. For example, one shortcoming is the use of a small number of survey items, most acute in studies by Trowbridge and Charles (1966) and Getzels and Csikszentmihalyi (1976). This practice raises semantic uncertainties about the constructs of interest.…”

Originality and Technical Skill as Components of Artistic Quality

Artistic quality is often thought of in terms of two components: originality and technical skill. To examine the relations between these three constructs, 35 judges rated 72 drawings on 25 survey items related to quality, technical skill, and originality. Rasch statistical analysis revealed an underlying dimension of quality. Items related to both technical skill and originality loaded highly onto this dimension, indicating that both are components of quality. All three measures were strongly inter-correlated. Technical skill and originality jointly accounted for over 90% of the variance in quality. Despite a high correlation (r = .65), technical skill and originality can be distinguished in three ways: originality items fit the underlying quality dimension better than did technical skill items, originality was more difficult to achieve than technical, and the two kinds of items loaded with opposite valences on the first factor of a factor analysis.

“…Findings regarding the relationship between creativity and technical quality are contradictory. In the study of Trowbridge and Charles, the hypothesis that creativity and technical competence can be separated into two distinct variables is confirmed with a correlation of nearly zero (Trowbridge & Charles, 1966). In contrast, in the studies of Getzels & Csikszentmihalyi (1976) and in most of Amabile's (1983) studies, the relationship between the two is quite strong.…”

“…Simon (1984) believed that creativity and drawing techniques are not two separate abilities, since they are expressed together. However, other studies have found the relation between creativity and drawing skills to be weak (Trowbridge & Charles, 1966;Amabile, 1982) or only moderate (Chan & Chan, 2007). The present study aimed to explore specifi c age, cultural, and socioeconomic eff ects on Taiwanese children's creativity and drawings.…”

This study investigated the cultural and age effects on children's overall creativity and drawing. 1,055 children ages 6 to 8 from three groups--urban and rural Taiwanese children and Taiwanese children of immigrant mothers, all in public schools--were given a creativity test, a people-drawing test, and a free-drawing test. The results showed that the older Taiwanese children scored higher than the young Taiwanese children on people-drawing and free-drawing, but not overall creativity. Drawing and creativity scores increased in accordance with age. In the six-year-old group, a group difference was found only on the scale of people-drawing. Urban Taiwanese children in the eight-year-old group scored higher than the other two groups of children on creativity and free-drawing. Results are discussed in terms of educational opportunities.
