Creative AI Studio: Image, Video, Audio
Direct the AI. Don’t just consume it.
What students learn
Generative AI is already reshaping how creative work happens. This course teaches students to lead that change, not be left behind by it. Hands-on with image generation, video synthesis, voice cloning, music generation, and the prompt-engineering instinct that separates mediocre AI output from work people actually want to look at. Students ship a portfolio piece — a short film, music video, or brand campaign — AI-assisted but with their creative direction running the show.
What today’s generative models can and can’t do. How prompts shape output. How to combine multiple AI tools into a creative pipeline. The judgment to evaluate AI output critically. And the increasingly important question of ethics, attribution, and what original creative work means in an AI-saturated world.
