The program is led by software artists Lauren McCarthy and Casey Reas and is housed within UCLA Art's Social Software Lab, culminating in a final exhibition and portfolio-ready work for college applications.
Students in the Artificial Intelligence and Art (AI & Art) Summer Institute explore the possibilities and social impacts of making art with AI software. They learn to harness the power of artificial intelligence to push the boundaries of artistic creation, working with cutting-edge generative AI to develop unique artistic styles. The program involves three exercises and a final project, with in-class workshops, individual studio time, and group critiques. Participants gain skills in engaging with software to tell personal and meaningful stories and create portfolio-ready work for college applications. The institute culminates in a final exhibition.
A typical day includes lectures with Q&A, individual studio time with 1:1s from instructors and teaching assistants, and group critiques for sharing and feedback on assignments.
Ideal for high school students aged 15-18 with a serious interest in exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and visual arts.
