Storytelling + AI Art
During each class, students will use their imaginations to create their own characters and stories based around topics such as pets, school life, jobs, and hobbies. Online AI (Artificial Intelligence) art tools are then used to bring their stories to life and create a comic book style short story. See the power of AI art with the examples below.
