COMPOSITIONAL QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF DIGITAL PAINTINGS BY MALE SEX OFFENDERS
Keywords:
Digital Paintings, Polychrome, Monochrome, Realist, SurrealistAbstract
Digital paintings depicting the repercussions of sexual crimes are utilised in this study to investigate the involvement of male sex offenders in Nairobi West Prison. By comparing evaluations according to styles, colour schemes, and themes, the research delves into the viewer's impression of these paintings. Researchers discovered that the more often participants were exposed to the digital paintings, the more positively they were rated. Among the participants, 78.6% had a strong affinity for polychrome schemes, whereas 83.9% preferred surrealist style. Offenders' family-related themes elicited the most intense emotional response from 60% of responders. The possible advantages of active engagement and participation, as well as the ways in which prisoner audiences engage with ready-made art, are enhanced by this research. To improve the viewing experience for inmates, the results stress the significance of interacting with digital paintings.
