Creative Practice with Generative AI Course
14 students over 12 Tuesdays.
— research-in-design —
with AI in the loop, research doesn't end when design begins. you dive back mid-make. when the work is beyond your own technical level, you have to.
— material access —
the tools are expensive. these students had access. most don't. this is the real fight underneath the craft.
new ways to find the spark elsewhere in the creative process — not only where it used to be
use is a way of knowing pro or contra — use and practice are the powerful ones
language is the interface affective state CAN impact quality — a lot
language is mirage finding the right words is what unlocks the right design
