  You will need a large training set to be able to train your machine to produce subjectively pleasant 'artistic' output.
  
  If you can't produce your own dataset with real people, you can try the following:
  
  * search for existing datasets on the internet
  * produce a new dataset using a spider bot that perform mining of artistic output on websites that have voting features
  * use crowdsourcing
