The Artistic Effects command in PowerPoint 2013 applies one of several special filters to your picture in an effort to make the picture look like it was created by an artist rather than photographed with a $60 digital camera. Depending on the nature of the original picture, the results may or may not be convincing; the only way to find out is to try.

Here is a list of the artistic effects that are available on the Artistic Effects button:

Marker
Pencil Grayscale
Pencil Sketch
Line Drawing
Chalk Sketch
Paint Strokes
Paint Brush
Glow Diffused
Blur
Light Screen
Watercolor Sponge
Film Grain
Mosaic Bubbles
Glass
Cement
Texturizer
Crisscross Etching
Pastels Smooth
Plastic Wrap
Cutout
Photocopy
Glow Edges

To apply one of these effects, simply double-click the picture, click the Artistic Effects button on the Picture Tools Format tab, and choose the effect you want from the gallery.

To give you an idea of what these effects can accomplish, this figure shows how a photograph appears with the Pencil Sketch, Watercolor Sponge, and Plastic Wrap filters applied.
