AI is here to support, not dictate, the creative process, we must adapt by refining our approaches, acquiring new skills and reexamining core principles. This course explores generative AI as a creative collaborator in visual storytelling. Students combine traditional designmethods with AI-assisted techniques to develop images, videos, andnarratives while critically examining creativity, authorship, and ethics. Through hands-on experimentation, students learn to make intentional decisions about when AI can enhance their creative process and when traditional approaches are more effective.
