Getting Started with AI Art

This live online session is designed for artists and creatives who want to explore the world of AI art — whether they come from classical artistic backgrounds such as illustration, print, painting or graphic design, or have no prior experience with AI tools at all.

​

The focus lies on orientation, understanding and conscious use, not on hype or technical overload.

Participants will gain an overview of which AI tools are particularly suitable for artistic work, how they can be combined with existing creative practices, and how to approach AI as an extension of one’s own artistic voice, rather than a replacement.

​

Drawing from her own artistic practice as sheisinblack.art, the session includes practical insights, workflows, tips and creative perspectives, as well as an open discussion on ethical considerations, authorship and legal frameworks surrounding AI-generated art.

​

In addition, the session explores how AI-generated visuals can be used thoughtfully and authentically on social media — not to chase trends, but to build visibility, consistency and a recognizable artistic presence.

No technical background is required.
