In most cases, people judge creativity by evaluating the resulting artifact, after the productive behavior has been completed. Hence, we will concentrate on the artifact here. However, sometimes the artistic process is inferable by the evaluator, perhaps due to some attributes of the artifact, or sometimes it’s even observable. Colton (2008) argues that art is identified as more creative if the...

abstract  in the wake of renaissance, not only then art and literature pieces but the resulting diverse expressions well reflected the turning revolts in science, philosophy, and politics, and their association which is tremendously clear even among a single artist’s works, e.g. donatello’s sculptures, transparently echoing challenges between old traditions and then new reformations vastly infl...

ARHA110 Introduction to Western Art: Renaissance to Modern This course surveys the development of Western art from the Renaissance through the modern period. We will examine art's changing status within specific social and artistic contexts: from the Church and court of the Renaissance, through the formation of art academies in late 16th century, to the development of an increasingly individual...

This paper presents an approach to predicting vowel quality in vocal music performances, based on common acoustic features (mainly MFCCs). Rather than performing classification, we use linear regression to project spoken or sung vowels into a continuous articulatory space: the IPA Vowel Chart. We introduce a real-time on-line visualisation tool, the Vowel Worm, which builds upon the resulting m...

The goal of our project is to learn the content and style representations of face portraits, and then to combine them to produce new pictures. The content features of a face are the features that identify a face, such as the outline shape. The stylistic features are the artistic characteristics of a certain portrait or painting, such as brush strokes, or background color. We forward-pass a cont...

Illustrative parallel coordinates (IPC) is a suite of artistic rendering techniques for augmenting and improving parallel coordinate (PC) visualizations. IPC techniques can be used to convey a large amount of information about a multidimensional dataset in a small area of the screen through the following approaches: (a) edge-bundling through splines; (b) visualization of “branched ” clusters to...
