Tackling AI Anxiety with Art Students
Presented by David Politzer, Director, School of Art + Design
During the Fall 2024 semester, Politzer integrated AI tools into ART 499: Interdisciplinary Critique, a course focused on analyzing and discussing student artwork. The goals were to ease AI anxiety and enhance students’ preparation for critique. Students used ChatGPT to role-play critiques and attempted to recreate their art projects using Midjourney. In his presentation, Politzer will share insights and outcomes, and demonstrate sample assignments.
