Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(29)
In this 4-week class students will be creating amazing AI Art using Python and Google Colab. We will learn prompting techniques, emergent technologies, and also see advanced demonstrations. No coding experience necessary (but helpful).
Class experience
CONTENT: This class will consist of four meetings. In each class we will be creating AI Art using a different Python Colab Notebook. Each class will highlight different aspects of AI Art but also of tech in general. Some of these include Python, Colab, Google Drive, Github, and APIs STRUCTURE: Each class starts out with questions and/or sharing. After that the new topic is introduced and the motivation/theory is laid out. Students will then load/run their notebooks and start creating...
4 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Intro To AI Art: the PromptWhat are diffusion models and how do they work? After a brief explanation about what these generative AIs are trying to accomplish and how they are trained, we will dive into Google Colab and set up our notebooks. We will learn about Python libraries, prompting, art terms, open source, and Stable Diffusion. I will demonstrate Midjourney and we will make art in both Colab and Dreamstudio.Week 2Lesson 2Models and ParametersWhat is transfer learning and how can we use it to leverage the work of the community? We'll dive in to fine-tuned models that specialize on things like Pixar, Disney, Photography, and much more. We will learn how to change image size, computation steps, and the creativity scale. We will connect to Google Drive so that our images can be automatically organized into portfolios. i will demonstrate Leonardo.ai's real time capabilities and show fine-tuned models.Week 3Lesson 3Creativity and RandomnessWhat is the role of AI as a creative partner? How can chance and randomness help us create art? We will learn methods for enhancing prompts such as wildcards and ChatGPT. We will learn about GitHub and use it to access files containing various types of art terms used for our prompts. We will also access prompt templates and create a MadLibs style game activity. I will demonstrate image refinement techniques in Dreamstudio and Leonardo: img2img, Controlnet, and inpainting/outpainting.Week 4Lesson 4Refining the ImageWhat's next? In this final installment we will dive into img2img and reveal it simple underpinnings. We will experiment with inpainting and masks. We will experiment with some amazing prompts and I will showcase some creative workflows using Comfyui. Finally, I will demonstrate the power of API's and how to use them with DALLE-3, Leonardo, and Dreamstudio.
Students will learn how to create AI Art with code, how to run experiments and mass produce images, and will see AI Art as part of games.
I have been a Computer Science teacher for about 10 years. I love coding and art. I taught AI Art Club with Google Colab for about a year and this course is an improvement I believe.
You need to have a gmail account that has access to Google Drive. The guardian's account will suffice as we are simply saving pictures temporarily. Programming experience is desirable but not required. A love of art and AI is a must!
This course will require an unrestricted gmail account capable of accessing Google Drive and Google Colab.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
AI Art very often creates distorted images which can include deformed people and animals. Though our Colab notebooks have filters, these are not 100% effective. If students continually try to make inappropriate images, some may well appear.
