The impact of artificial intelligence on fine arts education in higher education
Main Article Content
Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence into fine arts education presents both opportunities and challenges for specialised art academies, particularly as technological advancements increasingly influence creative disciplines. While research has explored artificial intelligence in general education and design fields, limited studies have examined its specific impact on fine arts education and the pedagogical strategies of art academies. This study aims to investigate the influence of artificial intelligence on fine arts education and to evaluate its advantages and limitations within specialised academic settings. The study employed a qualitative approach, analysing the conceptual definitions of artificial intelligence, its key applications in art and design, and the educational role of art academies in cultivating students’ artistic skills and appreciation. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence offers innovative tools for artistic creation and design, enhancing learning processes and expanding creative possibilities. At the same time, the cultivation of artistic appreciation remains central to the mission of art academies, providing students with critical skills that differentiate them in the creative domain. The study highlights that while artificial intelligence can augment educational practices, the foundational role of fostering aesthetic sensitivity and critical artistic engagement is essential for maintaining the distinctive value of fine arts education.
