March Guest Speaker: Alistair Matthews

 

AI and Art: Not Just Fun Image Generation Ten amazing ways you can use free Google AI tools to inspire, assist, and delight.

 

In this encouraging and practical session, Alistair Matthew (local business owner and tech enthusiast) demystifies Artificial Intelligence for the contemporary artist. Moving far beyond "robot-made pictures," we will explore ten simple, free Google tools that act as your new digital "studio assistant." You’ll discover how AI can help you find the perfect title, get a second opinion on a composition, or even show a potential buyer how your painting would look on a modern lounge wall.

If you can send an email or a text message, you already have the skills to use these tools. To make the most of this hands-on workshop, please bring your phone or tablet with photos of five pieces of your own art (finished or partly finished) already saved in your photo gallery. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, or hobbyist, you’ll leave inspired to use these modern "pencils" to enhance your traditional craft.
