A new form of art is starting to emerge and it is one that is beginning to show signs of a future in which it will drastically change the way people make and appreciate art. This new form of art is AI art, or art that is created using artificial intelligence. AI art is still in its infancy, but there are already some impressive examples of what it is capable of. For instance, a recent program called "Placeholder" was able to create images that were indistinguishable from those created by human artists. As AI art continues to develop, it is likely to have a profound effect on the future of art. For one, it will allow art to be created in a completely new way. But more importantly, it could change the way we think about art and its role in our lives.

1. What is AI Art?

AI Art is art created with the help of artificial intelligence. AI Art generally falls into two categories: art created by AI and art created with the help of AI. In the first instance, AI is used to create art, with the machine learning algorithms creating the artworks on their own. This can be done in a number of ways, such as through generative adversarial networks, which pits two algorithms against each other to create images, or through evolutionary algorithms, which mimic natural selection to produce images. In the second instance, AI is used to help humans create art. For example, an AI system might be used to generate ideas for a painting or sculpture, or to help an artist create a piece by providing feedback on their work. AI can also be used to create digital art, using algorithms to generate images or videos that are then displayed on a screen. AI Art is a relatively new field, and it is still developing. It is not yet clear how AI Art will affect the future of art, but it is likely that it will change the way that art is created and experienced.

2. How will AI Art affect our future of Art?

A common argument against artificial intelligence is that it lacks creativity- however, as AI technologies have developed, they have begun to show signs of being able to create original works of art. This raises the question of how AI art will affect our future of art. Some believe that AI will have a positive effect on art, by providing new opportunities for creativity and expression. For example, AI can be used to create new pigment colors that cannot be found in nature, or to generate new realistic textures for paintings. AI can also be used to create entire new genres of art, such as music composed by AI. In addition, AI can be used to create art that is interactive and responsive to the viewer, creating a more immersive and personal experience. Others believe that AI will have a negative effect on art, as it will lead to the mass production of artworks, and the devaluation of art overall. They argue that AI-created art will lack the emotional depth and humanity that is found in artworks created by humans. In addition, mass-produced artworks created by AI could lead to job losses in the art world, as AI technologies begin to replace human artists. There is no clear answer as to how AI art will affect our future of art. However, it is clear that AI art will have a significant impact, and that it has the potential to change the landscape of art as we know it.

3. What are the benefits of AI Art?

There are many benefits to creating art using AI technology. One benefit is that it can help to create art that is more realistic and lifelike. This is because AI technology can be used to create art that is based on real-world data, making it look more realistic.

Another benefit of AI art is that it can help to create art that is more unique and individual. This is because each piece of AI art is created using its own algorithms, meaning that no two pieces will be exactly the same. This can help to create a more personal and unique art experience for artists.

Finally, AI art can help to create art that is more interactive and engaging. This is because AI technology can be used to create art that responds to viewer interaction. For example, an AI-created painting could change color or shape based on how the viewer interacts with it. This type of interactivity can help to create a more immersive and enjoyable experience for viewers.

4. What are the challenges of AI Art?

The field of AI art is still in its infancy, which means there are many challenges that still need to be addressed. One of the biggest challenges is understanding how AI creates art. Currently, there is no agreed-upon definition of AI art, which makes it difficult to study and compare AI artworks. Another challenge is that AI artworks are often created by algorithms that are not transparent, making it difficult to assess their artistic merits. Another challenge is that AI art is often created for commercial or technological reasons, rather than for artistic reasons. This can make AI artworks seem shallow or impersonal. Finally, the field of AI art is still evolving, which means that there are likely to be many more challenges that we have not yet even considered.

5. How can we create AI Art?

We can create AI Art by using a computer program to generate or create art. This can be done by using an AI algorithm to generate new art, or by using a computer to mimic the style of an artist. Some people believe that AI Art is a form of art that is created by a machine, without any human input. Others believe that AI Art is a form of art that is created by humans, with the aid of a machine. Another benefit of creating AI Art is that it can help us to understand the art of an artist. This can be done by using a computer to mimic the style of an artist, or by using a computer to generate new art. Lastly, creating AI Art can help us to appreciate art in a new way. This can be done by using a computer to generate new art, or by using a computer to mimic the style of an artist.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to redefine how art is created and experienced. While some people may fear that AI will lead to the loss of jobs in the creative industries, it is more likely that AI will create new opportunities for artists and art lovers alike. By providing new ways to create and interact with art, AI will help to broaden our understanding and appreciation of art. In the future, AI will become an increasingly important tool for artists, as it will allow them to create new and innovative works of art.

On the internet, there are many websites now where you can join and create AI Art using prompts that you create. Some of them which are worth looking at are:-

Lexica Art

CF Spark (Creative Fabrica)

Nightcafe

MidJourney

Conclusion

My thoughts on AI Art! Artists who believe their work is being stolen by AI have expressed strong opposition. It's a valid concern. To put it simply, AI employs deep learning techniques to sample the world through data input. These samples are used to create the art they create. But, in my opinion, this is no different from the process that humans have used for thousands of years.

It could be argued that no art is unique. That everything we make is inspired, imitated, or copied. We are born with the ability to sample the world around us and use that knowledge to express ourselves through our imagination.

Cubism, for example, was developed in the early 1900s by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. A painting style that is still imitated today. Andres Valencia, a ten-year-old, sells his cubism works for six figures. Nobody believes his art has been stolen.

The fact that AI performs the same process that humans have developed, albeit at a significantly higher level of efficiency, is why we should embrace rather than reject the technology.

Art will always be recognized for the effort that it takes to create it. I've always liked the idea that art is never completed, only abandoned. And, while "prompt crafting" is a new skill that must be practiced and developed in order to achieve desired results with AI, I don't believe that purely generated AI works should win prizes in an art competition intended to measure human skill and effort.

I do, however, believe that AI is a fantastic tool for artists to use if they choose to embrace it. The same could be said about digital painting when artists first had the ability to create "paintings" in a fraction of the time using a digital pen and Photoshop or the many other varieties now out there.

How to do a Bloom Pour- #SheleeartBloomTechnique

 



Haven't done a Bloom for a while. So, I thought I would give it another go to see if I can still get those juicy cute cells that are associated with the Bloom Technique.

I took the Sheleeart course awhile back. I highly recommend if you want to master the blooms technique, to take the course.
Plus, you get the chance to join the private group on Facebook, where many people from around the world help each other and share their experiences. The best part I think in taking the course, is, the valuable tips etc that you gain from so many people.
Here is a link to her website. Well worth doing it. - https://sheleeart.com.au/course-outline/

Below is a my YouTube creation video of my latest Bloom pour on 4 tiles which are great to use as coasters.




I won't go into detail on the ins and outs on the Bloom Technique as I strongly recommend to do the course. They say it is one of the hardest techniques to conquer in fluid art.

But, basically you start with a pillow of paint which your colors float on. You add a cell activator to the colors and blow the activator across the colors which will then produce the lovely cells.

Really happy how these ones turned out. The four finished tiles below.....


Pillow Paint was British Paints Clean & Protect Walls Interior White Colors used
This Little Piggy (TLP) Lily Pad TLP Groovy TLP Taffy Amsterdam Greenish Blue Amsterdam Primary Magenta Global Metallic Gold Cell Activator was Australian Floetrol and Amsterdam White



I taped the back of the tiles with tape to protect the back from the paint, but, to also protect it from resin, which I will do later for a nice shine finish which will help also with heat resistance so that these tiles can be used for putting your coffee or tea on.




The tile on my spinner ready for the paint to go on....



After the pillow paint , colors and cell activator has been added and blown out. Ready for the spin on the spinner. 


And, the final product after spun. 



So, I can still do Blooms. So happy. Going to try this technique again soon. 

I have already uploaded one of the best of the four to my Redbubble store. Looks good on the products. Some of  them below -











I also turned one of the Blooms into a repeatable pattern which looks really cool on the Redbubble products....










A digitally enhanced image of the pattern with a Mandala embellishment...



And, without a Mandala.

How to Do a Marble Pour - Acrylic Paint Pouring - Fluid Art

 



I haven't done a Marble Pour before. So, thought I would give it a try. I have been watching quite a few YouTubers doing marble pours and their final paintings look so good.

So, what exactly is a Marble Pour?? Basically, what you do is lay down your paints onto your canvas or whatever you are using any way that you like. You can do puddles of colors, ribbons of colors or just splash the paint around anyway you like.

The next step is to put a marble onto the canvas and while holding the canvas with two hands, tilt it back and forth and round about moving the marble all over the canvas running through the paint.

What you get in the end is a truly interesting painting. Above in the image is the final outcome of my first attempt at a marble pour.

I really like how it turned out.



Colors used in this pour - Mont Marte pre-mixed paints. (These paints are excellent for beginners. No need to mix or measure, just use straight from the bottle) Ultramarine Blue Cerulean Blue Mid Green Dark Green Gold White - for the base Oh, and of course, I used a few marbles as well. 😄


I used a small 4 x 4 inch canvas for this pour. This was just a test pour, so, I thought a small canvas would be suitable. Hope to do it on a much larger canvas at a later date. Once I feel that I have mastered the technique.





I laid the paints down in puddles over top of a white base of paint. As shown in the above image.





Next, pop on a marble and run it through the paint several times.




And, finally above is the finished painting. I love it.

I always have Print on Demand sites on my mind when I produce my artwork. Redbubble is just one of the sites I share my designs on. This above design looks really good on the products. I quite often embellish the final artwork to enhance it. With this one I turned it into a repeatable pattern which also works really well on the products. Image below...




Then of course I added a Mandala image to this too, I really love how it looks.



Below is the quick creation video I did for the marble pour. Not detailed , but, you get the idea of how to do it.

And, once again as I did in my previous pour, I digitally enhanced the above design in many colors and, with different Mandalas on them.  They all look great and are now also up on my Redbubble Store.  Just a few below.









Some of the products shown below as well. Do you like these?? Let me know in the comments below?

I am so happy how these turned out. I am really loving Mandalas!


Did another marble pour on a black base.  Not a fan of the dark gloomy colors in this one. But, turned out not too bad. I think I will try a lighter background for my next one. I prefer bright and colorful paintings.

Dried Result



Embellished. 



Looks good on a wall!



The dark and gloomy did not sit well with me, so, my next marble pour was all bright colors. Reminds me of the 1960's. Very psychedelic. Yeah Baby! 


Below is the creation video showing how this one was made.



And, of course it has been uploaded to my Redbubble store and looks really retro on their products. Some of them below.
