Abstract

The rising integration of artificial intelligence into the process of creating artwork and its deployment in various professional tasks signifies a notable change in how technology is utilized across different domains. AI is rapidly becoming favoured among students to address various learning challenges. A thoughtful selection of how AI is applied in creative assignments can enhance student creativity and improve outcomes when producing diverse visual content. This article reports on an experiment aimed at generating art products using various AI applications, resulting in image creations based on verbal descriptions. The objective of the educational experiment is to motivate students to create artistic works by utilizing AI, guided by descriptive words, and improving their projects by applying them to different AI software. The research employs visual analysis and comparative analysis to assess the educational artworks produced by students, contrasting those stemming from their imagination with those generated through AI based on their descriptions. Survey Analysis of Using AI in Visual Arts Education. Findings reveal that student satisfaction levels correlate with their creativity; more creative students tend to be less satisfied with the outcomes. There are significant distinctions in the artistic and aesthetic effects of images relating to lines, shapes, and techniques. In conclusion, AI-generated images can greatly enrich the creative process by providing artists with new visual interpretations of their concepts. While AI can effectively produce new images in response to artists’ creative briefs, it does not replace human creativity in the artistic process. Instead, the incorporation of AI tools serves as a complementary resource, enhancing the artistic ecosystem in the creative process.
