Abstract

In the career of Social Communication of the Babahoyo Technical University, the drawings of 45 men and 107 women were analyzed with the purpose of checking whether the female gender has less or greater ability to draw than the male gender. It was projected in a classroom landscape of cubes, so that the group of men and women proceeded to draw for 3 minutes in an A3 sheet format and with a pen. The result of this research determined that there are no significant differences between men and women in the representation of a landscape drawing of cubes on an A3 size paper support, in the Social Communication career of the Technical University of Babahoyo.
