Core Competencies

After reviewing the core competencies, I chose “Creative Thinking” because it connects well with my assignment. This competency involves generating new ideas, which is exactly what I needed when using AI to create a unique image for my footstool. I had to give clear and descriptive instructions to Copilot in order to get my beautiful racecar.

Learning from Digital Tools

Using AI to create the image taught me about how AI with a little bit of detail can create an image that you had in your mind. The biggest benefit was the ability to generate good-quality, designs that matched my vision. However, one of the challenges was understanding the AI’s capabilities and limitations—it took me some time and  experimentation to get the image just right and ensure it was suitable for printing.

Application in Other Courses

I believe that this digital tool could be useful in courses like Art or Drafting. For example, in an Art class, I could use AI to create interesting designs or patterns for projects like posters . In a Design course, the tool could help visualize concepts quickly, allowing me to refine ideas more efficiently. It would be beneficial because it makes the process more quick and efficient. In Drafting, I could use AI to quickly generate ideas for architectural designs or  layouts, helping to find different options and examples, before starting a final project.
