Historical and empirical data have linked artistic creativity to depression and other affective disorders. This study examined how vulnerability to experiencing negative affect, measured with biological products, and intense negative emotions influenced artistic creativity. The authors assessed participants' baseline levels of an adrenal steroid (dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, or DHEAS), previ...

Artistic image understanding is an interdisciplinary research field of increasing importance for the computer vision and art history communities. One of the goals of this field is the implementation of a system that can automatically retrieve and annotate artistic images. The best approach in the field explores the artistic influence among different artistic images using graph-based learning me...

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 ...

In this paper we show how to extend point-based surface rendering to illustrate object motion. We do this by first extruding the circular points into ellipsoids, which fill the space traced out by the points in motion. Using ellipsoids instead of cylinders achieves a low-passing effect of the motion trail. We then find the screen-space projection of each ellipsoid, which is an ellipse. These ca...

two oriental and western symbols are recorded in the memory of the world. kamal al-din behzad (1460-1535.a.d./ 865-942 a.h.) is the painter of iran's golden era and leonardo da vinci (1452-1519.a.d./ 857-925 a.h.) is the verstile artist of italian renaissance. the life stories of these two artists are more or les similar. during childhood, both experienced a hard time and during youth and adult...
