Reimagining Arts Education with AI: From Visual Creation to Personalized Learning

This paper explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in arts education, focusing on its potential to enhance creativity, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary exploration. By analyzing generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, and MidJourney, the study demonstrates how these technologies democratize access to advanced artistic practices and support constructivist pedagogy through active, self-directed learning. The findings emphasize AI's ability to foster metacognition and collaborative innovation while addressing challenges such as authorship, equitable access, and ethical considerations. Based on recent research and practical applications, the paper highlights the importance of teacher training at the intersection of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. It proposes strategies for integrating generative AI into art curricula, including workshops on prompt engineering and interdisciplinary projects, while advocating for ethical frameworks to guide its responsible use. Generative AI is positioned as a complement to traditional teaching methods, amplifying creative and educational processes in an interconnected world.
