Key points
- Examines the status and impact of generative AI on art and design curricula in higher education.
- Asks directly whether traditional aesthetic skill training can be discarded with AI assistance.
- Frames curriculum reform options for art and design programs in the generative AI era.
Summary
Published in The Design Journal (Volume 28, Number 2, 2025; available online 25 November 2024), this paper analyses the curricular impact of generative AI on art and design programs in higher education. It directly addresses whether traditional aesthetic skill training remains necessary when AI tools can assist or replace many technical production steps, and sets out a framework of reform options for art and design program leads facing this question. The paper contributes to a recognised design research journal and provides curriculum committees with a structured basis for decision-making.
