SUMMARY:Constructed Imagery: AI & Photoshop with Fran Forman (Online)
DESCRIPTION:The Griffin Museum\, in collaboration with Fran Forman\, is excited to
  present this online workshop\, which introduces a process for creating
  new imagery through a combination of photography\, Photoshop\, and AI
  programs. 
 
 If you're interested in creating imaginative\, constructed images
  using both photographic sources and AI tools\, this class is for you.
  We won't be aiming for realism\, nor will we call these works
  photographs in the traditional sense. Instead\, we'll explore
  image-making as a collaboration between your camera\, your
  imagination\, Photoshop\, and AI platforms such as MidJourney (though
  you may use any comparable tool). You may work with your own
  photographs as raw material\, or generate new imagery from text
  prompts. We'll move back and forth between Photoshop and AI\,
  refining\, combining\, and transforming elements until your final
  piece feels truly your own. And if time permits\, we'll push further
  -- experimenting with giving your images movement or animating subtle
  transitions. 
 
 We'll also devote time to lively discussion: What is a photograph in
  an AI era? What constitutes art? Does the use of digital prompts and
  algorithms change the value or meaning of the work? Together we'll
  engage critically and creatively with the rapidly evolving world of
  AI-assisted image-making.This class requires Intermediate to Advanced
  Photoshop skills and an active subscription to MidJourney or another
  text- or image-to-image AI program.
