Generating artwork tutorials

A system for generating and running a creative tutorial algorithm for an action-to-feature mapping of a visual artwork, comprising one or more servers configured to perform:

• initializing the system to create the visual artwork by obtaining data defining a creative objective and obtaining information about at least one targeted artistic style from a plurality of predetermined artistic styles;
• generating, via the creative tutorial algorithm, one or more instructions on how to reproduce the creative objective based on the at least one artistic style;
• obtaining an input stream of data recording a creation of the visual artwork from the system;
• identifying, based on the input stream of data, at least one time series of utensil actions capable of reproducing the visual artwork;
• obtaining at least one image of the visual artwork;
• and
• generating the action-to-feature mapping based on the at least one time series of utensil actions and on the at least one image of the visual artwork, thereby recognizing at least one artistic feature of the visual artwork,
• wherein the action-to-feature mapping comprises at least one pair of the at least one artistic feature and at least one utensil action of the at least one time series of utensil actions, wherein the creative tutorial algorithm compares the at least one artistic feature to the creative objective based on the targeted artistic style, and wherein the system comprises at least one smart utensil, and wherein the at least one smart utensil comprises a smart pen, a smart wrist device for recording the creation of the visual artwork, a knife for creating the visual artwork, a spatula, a palette knife for creating the visual artwork, a chisel for modeling the visual artwork, at least one hand of a user for molding the visual artwork, or a combination thereof.

An apparatus to generate and run a creative tutorial algorithm for an action-to-feature mapping of a visual artwork, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
• initialize a system to create a visual artwork by obtaining data defining a creative objective and obtaining information about at least one targeted artistic style from a plurality of predetermined artistic styles;
• generate, via the creative tutorial algorithm, one or more instructions on how to reproduce the creative objective based on the at least one artistic style;
• obtain an input stream of data recording a creation of the visual artwork from the system;
• identify, based on the input stream of data, at least one time series of utensil actions capable of reproducing the visual artwork;
• obtain at least one image of the visual artwork;
• and
• generate the action-to-feature mapping based on the at least one time series of utensil actions and on the at least one image of the visual artwork, thereby recognizing at least one artistic feature of the visual artwork,
• wherein the action-to-feature mapping comprises at least one pair of the at least one artistic feature and at least one utensil action of the at least one time series of utensil actions, wherein the creative tutorial algorithm compares the at least one artistic feature to the creative objective based on the targeted artistic style, and wherein the system comprises at least one smart utensil, and wherein the at least one smart utensil comprises a smart pen, a smart wrist device for recording the creation of the visual artwork, a knife for creating the visual artwork, a spatula, a palette knife for creating the visual artwork, a chisel for modeling the visual artwork, at least one hand of a user for molding the visual artwork, or a combination thereof.
