AWARDS TOTAL $550! VisionGreenwood is excited to introduce an innovative opportunity for high school students: the AI Art Competition. This initiative harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to transform students' personal reflections into unique art pieces. By engaging with an AI-driven platform, students will explore their hopes, dreams, and emotions, which will then inspire custom artwork generated by cutting-edge AI technology. This competition is not just about art; it's about preparing our students for a future where collaboration with AI is essential. It encourages creativity, technological literacy, and self-expression, making it accessible for both artists and non-artists alike. Join us in empowering our students to be pioneers in this exciting new era. Together, we can foster a community that embraces innovation and creativity. Let’s make this competition a reality and inspire the next generation of thinkers and creators!"
Pioneering AI Education: The Future of Creativity in Our Schools
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming our world, and the future of education will be defined by collaboration between humans and AI. As educational leaders, it's crucial to embrace this change and provide our students with cutting-edge opportunities. We invite you to support the AI High School Art Competition, a groundbreaking initiative that allows students to explore the intersection of technology and creativity.
How It Works:
1) Students will engage with the AI platform Midjourney to discuss their aspirations, concerns, and future goals
2) The AI platform will generate a unique art piece based on the student's responses and emotions which can then be saved to their device
3) Students will name their artwork file, provide a brief explanation of their creative process, and upload it to this form and submit it for judging
