ART DIRECTION WITH AI

HOW TO THINK, CREATE, AND DIRECT GENERATIVE IMAGES WITH INTENTION

HOW TO USE AI AS A CREATIVE TOOL

The goal of this workshop is to teach different ways of thinking visually before generating an image, to create a language that allows directing AI as a creative tool, and thus to build a creative “brief” that enables the development of a visual language. (*prompt)

About your Master: Camila Velasquez – MALTIPATIANDO

Art director, visual artist, and creator of generative images with Artificial Intelligence. I combine visual narratives through the conceptual exploration of an idea. My creative processes are based on building languages that allow the exploration of imaginaries from creative intention and aesthetic coherence through imagery (sometimes I draw).
