AI Storytelling: Through guided, step-by-step instructions, participants create handmade artworks based on their life stories, using AI-generated reference images.
- Share a story — Participants tell the instructor a meaningful story from their lives.
- Turn it into an image — The participant or instructor enters descriptive elements of the story into a text-to-image AI system, generating a realistic image.
- Paint from the image — Participants use the AI image as a reference to create their own painting, guided step by step by the instructor.
- Learn together — In a supportive, creative environment, participants engage with one another's stories as they work.
- Reflect through recorded interview — After painting, each participant shares stories about their memory, inspiration, and the personal symbolism in their art.
- Control — Participants retain complete control over their artwork, story, and interview.
