The class will offer an overview of the history and current artistic practices both independently and professionally utilizing AI, and will be visited by lawyers, artists, and historians working in this realm to offer a grounding in the everchanging landscape, ethics, aesthetics and potential applications of AI tools. Students will use the tools covered in this course to generate storyboards, scripts, animated sequences, synthesized voice narration and voice acting, and sound designs, resulting in both narrative and experimental works of animation.
