Sousa, Ana Isabel Tudela Lima Gonçalves deFerreira, Diogo Afonso Cardoso Candeias2025-05-212025-05-212025-03-06http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/100875The dissertation herein consolidated is the culmination of the ongoing study concerning the consideration, adaptation and integration of new artificial intelligence tools in the teaching of visual arts. This research delves into the concepts of intelligence, authorship, creativity, and art, enveloped within the AI premise while not forgetting the criticisms regarding its ethical biases, dehumanization of education, environmental impact and so many other dubious realities. Education is approached with particular attention to teachers, students, and spaces, examining how these elements contribute, or fail to do so, to revitalizing teaching through new intelligent digital means. By recounting the history of intelligent machines alongside the history of education in Portugal, the technological promise is highlighted in the face of school stagnation. With corresponding considerations, the recent growth of new AI is noted, various programs are named and categorized, their functionalities outlined, and how they can diversify approaches to teaching visual arts. Through the Action-Research methodology, image and text generators were explored to enhance the P(AI)ntings Project at the José Afonso Secondary School in Loures. Observing the practice of students in the Oficina de Artes discipline, they were introduced to artificial intelligence to create reference images for study and effectively produce paintings that suited the styles, concepts, motifs, and themes of Impressionist artists. Collecting data through Surveys, this study aims to understand the difficulties in dealing with artificial intelligence in schools. Reflecting on the present with an eye toward the future, this research aims to navigate society's polarizing will and understand how to deal with artificial intelligence, mitigate its threats, and realize its promises. In respect for the teacher, education, art, humanity, without abandoning the possibility of change, revolution, innovation.porInteligência ArtificialEducaçãoInovaçãoArtes VisuaisP(AI)ntingsEducação artísticaCriatividadeDesumanizaçãoProjeto P(AI)ntingsmaster thesis203907892
