In our new From Pixels To Paint: Interpreting AI Art Through Human Imagination 3-session class, students will explore the intersection of technology and traditional art-making by using artificial intelligence as a creative springboard. Through guided exercises and studio time, participants will generate AI images based on the descriptive prompts, analyze and interpret those results, and then translate their chose image into a unique work of art using traditional media. Along the way, we'll examine what it means to be creative in the new era of AI, and how to embrace randomness as a part of the artistic process.
