ArtMatch: Classifying Famous Paintings and Matching Them with Children’s Artwork

This paper represents the progress of an ongoing effort to develop a mobile app called ArtMatch, which will help kids develop a passion for art. The proposed app will deepen children's appreciation for famous pieces of artwork while enhancing their creativity. By taking an image of artwork created by the user, ArtMatch will show the most similar painting done by a famous artist, using AI and deep learning technology. The app works through a program that clusters images based on their design and style. Throughout this process, the user will see the effectiveness of his/her painting through their match with well-known paintings. The program's present version can generate accurate matches for several works done by young children.
