AB  - This PRISMA systematic review, published in SN Computer Science in February 2026, synthesises 27 studies on generative AI integration in higher art education across visual arts, design and STEAM contexts. The review establishes that generative AI reliably supports early-stage ideation and reduces affective barriers for novice learners, but that a significant gap remains in execution phases that depend on embodied, material or tacit skill. For animation educators, the finding that AI is strong at the front end of creative workflows but weak at the skilled-execution phase maps directly onto studio teaching design decisions.
