This paper describes a method for learning statistical models of 2D curves, and shows how these models can be used to design line art rendering styles by example. A user can create a new style by providing an example of the style, e.g. by sketching a curve in a drawing program. Our method can then synthesize random new curves in this style, and modify existing curves to have the same style as t...

A recent paper by Gatys et al. [1] describes a method for rendering an image in the style of another image. First, they use convolutional neural network features to build a statistical model for the style of an image. Then they create a new image with the content of one image but the style statistics of another image. Here, we extend this method to render a movie in a given artistic style. The ...

Unlike photorealistic rendering striven by traditional 3D computer graphics, NPR emphasizes artistic expression, subjective mood imbuing, and downplaying unimportant information. The paper presents a new automatic method for generating oil paintings via fluid simulation technology. A paintly rendering is built up in a series of layers, drawn with large, long and curved brush strokes, and aligne...

since a long time ago, poets and orators used various knowledge sources and human sciences to express thoughts, intentions, and their intellectual achievements. for instance, they utilized natural and supernatural elements and names of geographical places as the sources of their artistic creation. the old poets and orators, which are known as the laureates and frontiers of classic literature, u...

What happens to visual artists with neuropsychological deficits? This review will examine artistic production in individuals with a variety of syndromes including achromatopsia, neglect, visual agnosia, aphasia, epilepsy, migraine, dementia and autism. From this review it appears that artists are not spared visual-motor deficits despite their special graphic abilities. Rather their talents allo...

Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is an area of computer graphics that studies artistic expressions for digital art. Unlike traditional computer graphics that emphasizes photorealism, NPR explores a wide variety of artistic styles including painting, sketching, and animated cartoons, and develops algorithms for recreating them. One art form that is largely unexplored in computer graphics is Op...

Self-portraits are more likely to show the artist's right than left cheek. This phenomenon may have a psychobiological basis: Self-portraitists often copy their subject from mirrors and, if they prefer to present their left cheek (more expressive due to right-lateralization of emotions) to the mirror, this would result in a right-cheek bias in the painting. We tested this hypothesis using Selfi...
