the mental association and the innovation of lingual and artistic relations on two syntagmatic and paradigmatic axis results in collocation in a literary speech. in the ordinary and formal language collocation is the necessary condition for a speech to be considered meaningful and coherent, but in literary language, there is a variety of aesthetic creativities and innovations that leads to the ...

Vocal music teaching is an important part of art education in college. For many college students, vocal music learning is very artistic. Learning theories of imitating, behaviors and skills has valuable directive significance in vocal music teaching in college. Social learning theory should be fully taken advantage of in vocal music teaching in college: observational learning should be used to ...

This paper presents the results of two experiments comparing the functioning of a computational system and a group of humans when performing tasks related to art and aesthetics. The first experiment consists of the identification of a painting, while the second one uses the Maitland Graves’s aesthetic appreciation test. The proposed system employs a series of metrics based on complexity estimat...

Art often provides valuable hints for technological innovations especially in the field of Image Processing and Computer Graphics. In this chapter we survey in a unified framework several methods to transform raster input images into good quality mosaics. For each of the major different approaches in literature the chapter reports a short description and a discussion of the most relevant issues...

We present a method for rendering 3D models in the traditional line-drawing style used in artistic and scientific illustrations. The goal is to suggest the 3D shape of the objects using a small number of lines drawn with carefully chosen line qualities. The system combines several known techniques into a simple yet effective non-photorealistic line renderer. Feature edges related to the outline...

In this paper we discuss different approaches to generate cutaway illustrations. The purpose of such a drawing is to allow the viewer to have a look into an otherwise solid opaque object. Traditional methods to draw these kinds of illustrations are evaluated to extract a small and effective set of rules for a computer-based rendering of cutaway illustrations. We show that our approaches are not...

As a uniquely human talent that has evolved from prehistoric cave paintings, art draws on many brain areas responsible for various cognitive processes. The pattern of degeneration in dementia leads to predictable changes in art. The visuospatial deficits in Alzheimer disease lead to less precision and attention to spatial relationships. In some cases of frontotemporal dementia, artistic creativ...

By Felix Lejars. Translated from the Sixth French Edition by W. S. Dickie, F.R.C.S. Vol. I. Pp. xiv, 617. Bristol: John Wright & Sons Ltd. 1909. The translator and publishers of this work are to be congratulated on its material and artistic excellence, and its production is an honour to its author and an ornament to European surgery. There are few authors who can say of a book, " I have lived i...

We study unsupervised learning by developing introspective generative modeling (IGM) that attains a generator using progressively learned deep convolutional neural networks. The generator is itself a discriminator, capable of introspection: being able to self-evaluate the difference between its generated samples and the given training data. When followed by repeated discriminative learning, des...
