Generating artwork tutorials

A system for generating and running a creative tutorial algorithm for a visual artwork, comprising:

• one or more processors of a computing system;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining data defining a creative objective and identifying the creative objective based on the data defining the creative objective, wherein the data defining the creative objective includes an input image;
• obtaining information about at least one targeted artistic style and applying an artistic style extraction algorithm for identifying the at least one targeted artistic style based on the information about the at least one targeted artistic style, wherein the artistic style extraction algorithm implements a style recognition technique, a pattern recognition technique, and a pattern matching technique;
• accessing a plurality of predetermined artistic styles and identifying, based on the plurality of predetermined artistic styles, at least one predetermined artistic style matching the at least one targeted artistic style, thereby specifying at least one targeted predetermined artistic style, wherein the matching generates a score quantifying a congruence between the at least one predetermined artistic style and the at least one targeted artistic style, and wherein the at least one predetermined artistic style is identified based on a predetermined score threshold;
• generating the creative tutorial algorithm, wherein the creative tutorial algorithm comprises one or more instructions to reproduce the creative objective in terms of the at least one targeted predetermined artistic style, and wherein an order of the one or more instructions is computed to avoid a succession of instructions conflicting with each other in creating the visual artwork;
• and
• causing a display, in a user interface of a device, of the one or more instructions to reproduce the creative objective in terms of the at least one targeted predetermined artistic style when the one of the one or more instructions is due as creating the visual artwork progresses, thereby determining a current instruction;
• and
• generating a haptic algorithm for a haptic feedback device of a smart utensil encoding the current instruction, wherein the haptic algorithm is transmitted to the haptic feedback device via the user interface of the device.

An apparatus to generate and run a creative tutorial algorithm for a visual artwork, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
• and
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform:
• obtaining data defining a creative objective and identifying the creative objective based on the data defining the creative objective,
• wherein the data defining the creative objective includes an input image;
• obtaining information about at least one targeted artistic style and applying an artistic style extraction algorithm for identifying the at least one targeted artistic style based on the information about the at least one targeted artistic style, wherein the artistic style extraction algorithm implements a style recognition technique, a pattern recognition technique, and a pattern matching technique;
• accessing a plurality of predetermined artistic styles and identifying, based on the plurality of predetermined artistic styles, at least one predetermined artistic style matching the at least one targeted artistic style, thereby specifying at least one targeted predetermined artistic style, wherein the matching generates a score quantifying a congruence between the at least one predetermined artistic style and the at least one targeted artistic style, and wherein the at least one predetermined artistic style is identified based on a predetermined score threshold;
• generating the creative tutorial algorithm, wherein the creative tutorial algorithm comprises one or more instructions to reproduce the creative objective in terms of the at least one targeted predetermined artistic style, and wherein an order of the one or more instructions is computed to avoid a succession of instructions conflicting with each other in creating the visual artwork;
