Artificial Intelligence Empowers Art Classrooms: Exploring the Boundaries Between Teaching Assistance and Creative Substitution

This paper focuses on the application of artificial intelligence in art classrooms, delving into its significant advantages in teaching assistance and the controversies arising from its potential creative substitution attribute. By analyzing AI’s role in providing art teaching resources and personalized learning support, as well as its impact on the artistic creation process and work styles, this study attempts to clarify the boundary between AI’s teaching assistance and creative substitution in art classrooms. Although AI has undeniable value in enriching teaching methods and broadening students’ horizons, human artists still dominate in emotional expression and the transmission of ideological connotations, with irreplaceable characteristics. Clarifying these boundaries helps art educators better utilize AI technology to improve teaching quality and cultivate students’ artistic literacy and creativity.
