Research on Innovative Method of Human–Computer Collaborative Aesthetic Education Based on Hybrid of Neuroaesthetics and Shape Grammar

This paper proposed an innovative method for aesthetic education by integrating shape grammar and neuroaesthetics. Aesthetic education can be divided into bottom-up aesthetic cultivation and top-down knowledge education, which correspond to the characteristics of shape grammar and neuroaesthetics, respectively. In this study, we redefined the state space of traditional shape grammar by replacing the computer-dominated label set with the affective-dominated emotion set of neuroaesthetics. This resulted in a neuroaesthetic shape grammar that is led by the designer and complementary to human intuition and algorithmic logic. We validated this method through practical design cases in the field of aesthetic education.
