this article discusses the stylistic criticism of the adonis’s poetry, based on the book modern poetic style by salah fadel. for this purpose, this article focuses on the critic himself and investigates the basic issues that he raised, specifies the concept and the expressions that he conceptualized, and the methodological techniques that he employed. this researcher believes that the critic ha...

A technique is presented for line art rendering of scenes composed of freeform surfaces. The line art that is created for parametric surfaces is practically intrinsic and is globally invariant to changes in the surface parameterization. This method is equally applicable for line art rendering of implicit forms, creating a unified line art rendering method for both parametric and implicit forms....

This paper looks at a method of blending different artistic filters together to create a range of artistic effects. Instead of using a single painterly rendering technique, the methods used in three different filters can be blended together in a user defined way. The filters are arranged in a triangular structure where the user defines their chosen painting style by choosing a point in the tria...

Recently, statistical techniques have been used to assist art historians in the analysis of works of art. We present a novel technique for the quantification of artistic style that utilizes a sparse coding model. Originally developed in vision research, sparse coding models can be trained to represent any image space by maximizing the kurtosis of a representation of an arbitrarily selected imag...

O n the basis of his retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, it is evident that Roy Lichtenstein forged a narrow trajectory through the thickets of contemporary art. Unlike some of his protean fellow artists, such as David Hockney or Frank Stella, he found his style early in his career and followed its course with almost scientifi c precision for his entire life. Through an obs...

In recent years, several techniques have been proposed for automatically producing line-art illustrations. In this paper a new non photo-realistic rendering scheme for triangulated surfaces is presented. In contrast to prior approaches with parametric surfaces, there is no global parameterization for triangle meshes. So a new approach is made to automatically generate a direction field for the ...

An artistic rendering method of free-form surfaces with the aid of half-toned text that is laid-out on the given surface is presented. The layout of the text is computed using symbolic composition of the free-form parametric surface S(u, v) with cubic or linear Bézier curve segments C(t) = {cu(t), cv(t)}, comprising the outline of the text symbols. Once the layout is constructed on the surface,...

We present a novel framework for non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) based on view-dependent geometric simplification techniques. Following a common thread in NPR research, we represent the model as a system of particles, which will be rendered as strokes in the final image and which may optionally overlay a polygonal surface. Our primary contribution is the use of a hierarchical view-dependent ...

Written in an engagingly anecdotal style, Searching for memory provides a review of recent, and not-so recent, research into memory, focusing particularly on the fallibility of memory. Subtitled "The brain, the mind, and the past" one might be forgiven for thinking that the book would deal with explanations at the level of neuroscience. In fact, with the exception of a brief foray into brain re...
