Creativity refers to the capability to catch original and valuable ideas and solutions. It involves different processes. In this study the extent to which visual creativity is related to cognitive processes underlying visual mental imagery was investigated. Fifty college students (25 women) carried out: the Creative Synthesis Task, which measures the ability to produce creative objects belongin...

Style transfer methods have achieved significant success in recent years with the use of convolutional neural networks. However, many of these methods concentrate on artistic style transfer with few constraints on the output image appearance. We address the challenging problem of transferring face texture from a style face image to a content face image in a photorealistic manner without changin...

To imitate personal handwritings is non-trivial. In this paper, we attempt to address the challenging problem of automatic handwriting facsimile. We focus on Chinese calligraphic writings due to their rich variation in style, high artistic values and also the fact that they are among the most difficult candidates for the problem. We first analyze the structures and shapes of the constituent com...

The study of the stucco (gypsum board) decorative elements city Samarra revealed that it included three artistic styles were classified and named by archaeologists specialists as follows: (the first style, second third style). Each these has its own decoration’s marked their appearance. Others continued to appear in two or although decorations influenced local foreign arts took many from them; ...

After incorporating "piano" as an important content of general education in colleges and universities into the syllabus, people began to focus on how build a piano teaching system suitable for our country, innovate series issues such creation with Chinese national spirit style. Among them, performance is unique style, its aesthetic aspects are also different from many music. This has caused lot...

We consider the problem of generating art with a computer system, as it relates to the understanding of a drawing style. Our system in its present development is able to sketch faces automatically, starting from a picture, typically a photographic snapshot of a scene with humans. Once a digital image is considered, the system automatically finds where some of the faces (or face-like patterns) a...

Based on the perspective of academic application and cultural dissemination, this study intends to explore the aesthetic value of Taiwan modern crafts. Through an approach of style analysis, this study examines the works selected from Taiwan Crafts Competition Award and Modern Crafts Yii Project. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to explore the artistic essence and cultural...

The objective of Cartoon Style Rendering is to produce a cartoon looking rendering out of a 3D scene. Instead of rendering photorealistic images the focus lies on artistic and stylistic characteristics. In this paper we give an overview of the common methods to generate cartoon looking scenes. We describe the basic techniques for the silhouette edge detection and the shading of the interior. Th...

The study focuses on design education using Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) and explores the effects of learning styles and gender on the performance scores of freshman design students in three successive academic years. Findings indicate that the distribution of design students through learning style type preference was more concentrated in assimilating and converging groups. Further study ...

Recently, methods have been proposed that perform texture synthesis and style transfer by using convolutional neural networks (e.g. Gatys et al. [2015; 2016]). These methods are exciting because they can in some cases create results with state-of-the-art quality. However, in this paper, we show these methods also have limitations in texture quality, stability, requisite parameter tuning, and la...
