We’ll focus on “generative A.I.” tools – these are creative apps that can be used to create text, songs, poems, short stories, images, sounds, and music. We’ll show you practical ways to introduce tools that create images to your young people in a safe and responsible way.
You’ll learn how to help your learners create art using A.I. tools while also developing an understanding of ethical issues surrounding how these tools work, and how they could be misused.
You will:
We’ll be playing with some practical examples, so you’ll need access to certain apps. We will show you how to use these tools, so just make sure you can access them on your computer.
How accurate were the images? Did you get what you expected?
Did everyone get the same image for the same prompt?
Did the end result feel different to something you’d have created yourself?
Create a self portrait using Generative AI.
It could be a realistic representation, or it could be abstract.
You will create your self portrait by customising and adapting a pre-written Generative AI prompt.
What was your approach? Realistic or abstract?
Were you able to get what you wanted by editing the prompt?
These prompt templates were adapted from ones created by Steve Bambury
Working in pairs, recreate a movie poster: either for Barbie or Oppenheimer.
The catch: You must design the poster to appeal to the target audience of the “opposite” film.
Share back: Be prepared to share out with the group. Think about what you created, what design principles you used, and how your creation offers a counter-narrative / counter-position to the original film.
