Experimenting with AI in Art Education.

I have been experimenting with the potential use of AI in art education. Some of my experiments are gathered below. As a result I find myself working with NSEAD leading an enquiry into the implications of AI for art educators. This is a rapidly evolving field so it is hard to keep up. The results of our work will be published via NSEAD but I may use this website to gather and share resources.

1. 1. This presentation was written in September 2023 at a time when there was a lot of uncertainty and alarmist talk about AI. I had been using it to support some writing and it seemed helpful to contribute that experience to the debate. This simply explores how teachers might use AI to generate relevant and succinct responses to some issues that often arise. In these examples AI produces useful initial raw copy and we change our role to that of editor. The issues vary from preparing for an interview, developing creativity, constructing curriculum plans.
