D.A.P.A. DESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHIATRIC ARTWORK Pilot <strong>Study</strong><br />

- S. HACKING AND D. M. FOREMAN © 1994.<br />

RATING GUIDE<br />

<strong>The</strong> pictures must be rated for the presence <strong>of</strong> 13 elements on 5 primarily structural<br />

areas: colour, intensity, line, area, emotional tone. <strong>The</strong>se items are designed to describe<br />

the picture as objectively as possible. A grid is drawn over the picture forming 20<br />

squares. Rating looks at each category one at a time in each division. Colour rating <strong>of</strong>fers<br />

two options forcing a present/not present decision; the others <strong>of</strong>fer optional descriptors<br />

<strong>of</strong> the form high, medium or low. A total <strong>of</strong> 260 decisions are required to rate one<br />

picture. However, time for picture rating typically varies from 5-15m. A transparent<br />

overlay divides the picture into 20 squares; 5 across and 4 down, taking account <strong>of</strong> the<br />

intended ‘right way up’. <strong>The</strong> squares are drawn from the edge <strong>of</strong> the paper, ignoring<br />

borderlines done by the painter.<br />

Each <strong>of</strong> the 20 scoring squares on the rating sheet contains 5 rows <strong>of</strong> boxes. Each row is<br />

identified on the left; Colour; Intensity; Line; Area; Emotional Tone. See the example<br />
