This intensive Generative AI program caters to a diverse spectrum of participants-from fine art practitioners to commercial designers. Whether you're captivated by the creative potential of AI, seeking to understand its impact on your career, or looking to integrate these emergent technologies into your commercial workflow, this program is your arena for exploration.
Starting with intuitive text-to-image tools and progressing through video and animation workflows to sophisticated model "fine-tuning" and customization, this program is tailored to artists at the precipice of change. Another focus is the exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude. Understand how these powerful tools can revolutionize your creative process, from "prompt engineering" for AI art generation, data analysis and programming assistance to writing essays, letters, résumés, grant proposals and advertising copy. The program prepares you to use AI tools, and empowers you in leveraging them to enhance your artistic expression and professional impact.
As the program concludes, you will have a portfolio of diverse AI-generated art, and the tools to navigate and shape the evolving landscape. Offering a unique blend of vision, skill and practical knowledge, this is a learning opportunity for artists and designers who aspire to lead the conversation about AI in creative industries. Join us to unlock new forms of expression, address the changing tides of artistic production and position yourself at the forefront of an artistic revolution.
