AI art. What is this magical tool, and can it enrich our creative process? Recent advances now let computers generate striking images from simple word descriptions. Wired magazine has described these AI art tools as “engines of wow.” In this introductory course, we explore AI as a creative instrument and help you develop skills to produce your own AI-generated art. From learning basic techniques for creating photographic and painterly images using mainstream, user-friendly applications to exploring the dynamic partnership between the human artist and the computer, this course will take you on a journey into this exciting and innovative field using hands-on exercises, artistic experiments, and collaborative discussions. Whether you are an artist exploring new techniques or simply curious about art and technology, you will leave with a better understanding of how AI-generated art can expand your creativity and artistic practice.
No previous experience in art, photography, or programming is required to take this course. Basic computer skills are required. Students have the option to subscribe to an AI image-generating service during the course. The typical cost is approximately $10 per month. More details will be provided.
