Workshop Introduction
In an era where generative AI tools increasingly permeate creative industries, educators face pressing questions about pedagogy, assessment, and the nature of creative authenticity. This workshop explores how AI and generative technologies are transforming creative arts and media education—examining AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a regenerative partner in artistic ideation and process.
We aim to bring together researchers, educators, and practitioners from creative arts, media art, music education, animation, and related fields to discuss pedagogical frameworks, cultural contexts, and critical perspectives on AI integration in creative curricula. The workshop particularly welcomes perspectives from the Global South and cross-cultural approaches to AI in arts education.
