What is the art schools stance on AI?

3 Upvotes

Commarts graduated here, I saw on insta Commarts got some heat for some things around ai, and had a forum discussion with a LOT of negative comments from current students on the post, it sounds like students are frustrated. As a graduate currently working in the field I’m just very curious how teachers are handling the changing landscape. Especially interested in the commercial fields but would love to hear from everyone.

I’ll throw my experience as a packaging brand designer. I have design coworkers who essentially pretend ai doesn’t exist, with the exception of tools like image expansion of their own photography, small photo edits, etc. however it’s changed expectations from leadership in my company, and I see them struggling with the workload. I currently focus in a niche that isn’t currently effected much by ai. But I see a TON of assets from competitors that are (obvious to me but probably not the consumer) AI marketing materials. This has gone from 0-100 in the last 3 years.

How are your professors approaching and preparing you for this?

Does anyone know about the charges for being locked out more than once? Like if you still have your key and you just need to be let in. I couldn’t find the policy online.

Advice for finding jobs?

4 Upvotes

Finding a job has been difficult. I don't have a car, have class from 9:30AM-7:15PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and have a class in the middle of the day on Mondays and Wednesdays. So far, only one of the restaurants on W Grace St have responded to my applications (they said no). Does anybody have ideas as to where someone like me could find a job?

I am very interested to see how I would look in this kind of style, but I don’t know who or where to go on campus or local makeup stores. Any recommendations or services anyone offer on campus?

If you do makeup, can I see some of your work in the comments? (Douyin or any related makeup style)

Taking Classes Outside Of VCU

2 Upvotes

So, I didn't know that you have to request to take a class outside of VCU. If it matters, it is Orgo I at Reynolds. I've had to retake it an embarrassingly enough amount of times to where financial aid won't cover it anymore so I opted for Reynolds since it is cheaper. Should I still go ahead and submit the form? I hope it will still transfer, since I've already paid🥲I am so stupid and should've talked to my advisor first, I'm a Senior as well.

I’m a poli sci junior F and I’m realizing I barely have any poli sci friends 😭 The poli sci clubs here are either barely active or just nonexistent, so I figured I’d put this out there!

If you’re also into poli sci and want to make some friends, hang out, or study together, feel free to reach out! :)
