It is with great pleasure that we present this special issue of ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts, titled “Intelligent Evaluation, Emotion Analytics, and AI-Based Assessment in Digital Art.” This special issue responds to a critical and timely need within contemporary creative practice and education, where digital art has evolved beyond static visual expression into an intelligent, data-driven, and emotionally responsive domain.
With the integration of Artificial Intelligence, digital artworks today function as interactive systems capable of adaptation, interpretation, and emotional engagement. While such advancements have expanded the expressive and pedagogical possibilities of digital art, they have also introduced complex challenges related to evaluation, assessment, and interpretation of creativity and emotional impact. Traditional evaluative frameworks often fall short in addressing the multidimensional, subjective, and experiential nature of digital creativity.
Recent developments in emotion analytics, affective computing, machine learning, and intelligent assessment systems offer promising pathways to address these challenges. AI-based models now enable the analysis of visual features, emotional responses, interaction patterns, and contextual data, allowing for more objective, scalable, and reproducible approaches to evaluating digital art and creative performance. These technologies also hold transformative potential for art education, supporting automated feedback, learning analytics, and fair assessment mechanisms.
The papers selected for this special issue reflect a rich interdisciplinary dialogue bridging technology, visual culture, psychology, pedagogy, and creative practice. Contributions explore intelligent evaluation models for digital art, AI-driven creativity assessment frameworks, deep learning approaches to aesthetic quality measurement, emotion recognition in visual and interactive art, and multimodal emotion analysis using image, video, and interaction data. Several studies also address automated grading systems, feedback generation, and data-driven evaluation strategies within digital art education environments.
This special issue welcomes both theoretical insights and applied research, highlighting how intelligent systems can support meaningful evaluation without undermining artistic subjectivity. A recurring theme across the contributions is the importance of ethical responsibility, interpretability, and human-centered design in AI-based assessment systems, ensuring that technological advancement complements rather than constrains creative expression.
