System Advised Drawing of Tessellation based on Artful Thinking Process

Abstract

Tessellation, as a regular pattern performance, is useful for aesthetic appreciation or commercial purpose due to its special visual affect. However, creating a tessellation is not a simple matter, especially for those non-professionals. Based on the visual patterns surveyed from existing samples, we firstly define an artful thinking process to guide the creation of tessellation. Secondly, we demonstrate a prototype system to advise the drawing according to the visual patterns recognized from the current drawing. The case study is applied with help from student volunteers: the defined artful thinking process is practical for non-professionals to follow. The demonstration system is able to classify drawings and give drawing advice based on classification results. In order to make the drawing advices more abundant and affective, we plan to add more categories including the associated emotions, and enlarge the drawing dataset.
