Abstract
ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly advanced in creating professional-level media content. In creative education, determining how students can benefit without becoming dependent on them is a challenge. In this study, researchers conducted an exploratory experiment that positioned AI as a relational artifact to students in a series of drawing activities and examined the potential impact of affective relations with machines in socio-cultural creative learning. The resulting artifacts, observations, and interview transcripts were analyzed using the Consensual Assessment Technique and a grounded theory approach. The study's results indicate that the design professors reliably evaluated the student drawings as more creative than the AI drawings, but neither demonstrated a consistent increase in creativity. However, the presence of AI engaged the students to explore different approaches to artistic prompts. We theorize that AI can be mediated as a learning artifact for transformative creativity if the students perceive their relationship with AI as empathetic and collaborative.
期刊介绍:
Digital Creativity is a major peer-reviewed journal at the intersection of the creative arts, design and digital technologies. It publishes articles of interest to those involved in the practical task and theoretical aspects of making or using digital media in creative disciplines. These include but are not limited to visual arts, interaction design, physical computing and making, computational materials, textile and fashion design, filmmaking and animation, game design, music, dance, drama, architecture and urban design. The following list, while not exhaustive, indicates a range of topics that fall within the scope of the journal: * New insights through the use of digital media in the creative process * The relationships between practice, research and technology * The design and making of digital artefacts and environments * Interaction relationships between digital media and audience / public * Everyday experience with digital design and artwork * Aspects of digital media and storytelling * Theoretical concepts
