Creative Tools for the Art Classroom and Teacher

Discover how AI can transform your art teaching practice and classroom experiences. This hands-on workshop explores practical applications of AI as both a teacher's assistant and a student learning tool. Learn to create custom chatbots that help students write artist statements, develop specific artistic skills, and engage with diverse artistic practices.

Experience how AI can reduce planning time, differentiate instruction, and generate engaging visual resources—all while maintaining artistic integrity. Through guided demonstrations, you'll develop skills in prompt engineering for various art applications, from image generation to personalised learning support.  

Whether you're new to AI or looking to advance your skills, you'll leave with immediately applicable strategies to enhance your teaching practice, reduce burnout, and inspire creative exploration in your classroom. No technical experience required—just bring your curiosity and teaching passion.
