Artistic painting of human portraits are more challenging than landscapes or flowers. Challenges are eye and nose areas where we need to avoid alterations from their natural appearance. Shades or darkness around eyes, or shininess at the nose tip may negatively impact the rendering result if not properly dealt with. The proposed computerized method attempts to be adaptive to those sensitive are...

Evolutionary algorithms have been widely studied from a theoretical perspective. In particular, the area of runtime analysis has contributed significantly to a theoretical understanding and provided insights into the working behaviour of these algorithms. We study how these insights into evolutionary processes can be used for evolutionary art. We introduce the notion of evolutionary image trans...

In this work an image retrieval system based on dominant colors is presented. A novel similarity function based on membership values of the Fuzzy c-means theory is introduced in order to using the information contained in the image descriptor vector like coordinates in a conceptual space. The principal characteristic of this system is quickness on retrieval phase due to light computations, easy...

The article discusses such aspects of the topic as concept stylization and transformation, relationship with style in fine art, well its impact on perception an artistic image. question visual emotional is touched upon, which are directly influenced by a stylized subject analysis methods techniques that work aim research to comprehend ways depicted object, through means expression, perceived co...

OBJECTIVE To describe a contemporary artistic educational program based on photographic cyanotype techniques and to present the results of the program carried out with older people with early dementia. We determined whether these people could participate in the program, their viewpoint about it, and what this program could contribute to their experience. METHOD Twenty-one people diagnosed wit...

A recent study showed that people evaluate products more positively when they are physically associated with art images than similar non-art images. Neuroimaging studies of visual art have investigated artistic style and esthetic preference but not brain responses attributable specifically to the artistic status of images. Here we tested the hypothesis that the artistic status of images engages...

This study is about Evolutionary art such as digital mosaics. The most common techniques to generate a digital mosaic effect heavily rely on Centroidal Voronoi diagrams. Our method generates artistic images as an optimisation problem without the introduction of any a priori knowledge or constraint other than the input image. We adapt a cooperative co-evolution strategy based on the Parisian evo...

Painterly rendering styles have received some attention lately as an interesting alternative to photorealistic image processing and synthesis. State of the art painterly renderings, while producing results that superficially resemble certain artistic styles, such as impressionistic or expressionistic, fail to convey the implicit detail provided by the artist’s choices of brushes

Jackson Pollock introduced a revolutionary artistic style of dripping paint on a horizontal canvas. Here we study Pollock’s unique artistic style by using computational methods for characterizing the low-level numerical differences between original Pollock drip paintings and drip paintings of other painters who attempted to mimic his signature drip painting style. Four thousands and twenty four...
