Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to explore what pedagogical implications the AI-integrated practices of contemporary artists offer to art education. The authors have long been interested in digital technologies within art education. As educators keen on incorporating contemporary art into the K-12 art curriculum, we have conducted interviews with 10 artists, engineers, and educators who actively utilize AI in their art making and research processes. We have also organized virtual workshops to invite 15 artists and professional and have collected the participating students’ written and visual responses. This paper particularly focuses on the artistic practices of two artists, Patrick Tresset and Shinseungback Kimyonghun, and their implications for AI-integrated visual art curriculum development.
