Mural Sketch Generation via Style-aware Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract: Sketch is one of the most important art expression forms for traditional Chinese painting. This paper presents a complete sketch generation framework for ancient mural paintings. First, we propose a deep learning network to perform mural-to-sketch prediction by combining meaningful convolutional features in a holistic manner. A dedicated mural database with fine-grained ground truth is built for network training and testing. Then we design a style-aware image fusion approach by detecting the specific feature region in a mural, from which the artistic style can be maximally preserved. Experimental results have demonstrated its validity in extracting style mural sketch. This work has the potential to provide a computer aided tool for artists and restorers to imitate and restore time-honored paintings.

Community-Engaged Arts as a Tool For Social Change. A Case Study on the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program

Abstract: This Study Aims to illuminate the correlation between civic engagement and community-engaged arts. As art and politics often correlate to each other, in the early 1990's "new genre public art" has developed out of the previous traditional public art movements with decoration purposes (Lacy, 1995). These New genres have functioned as social intervention channels. this essay will carry out the study of the correlation between the new socio-political phenomenon and public art practices as: (participatory art, dialogic art, community-based art, activist art). Using Art-based research methodology the researcher intends to investigate contemporary community-based art practices and its contribution to local communities’ development. A case study on the city of Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program is carried out in this research.
