• Abstract: Data-art exhibitions offer a unique and real-world setting to foster creative visualisation skills among students. They serve as real-world platform for students to display their work, bridging the gap between classroom learning and professional practice. Students must develop a technical solution, grasp the context, and produce work that is appropriate for public presentation. This scenario helps to encourage innovative thinking, engagement with the topic, and helps to enhance technical proficiency. We present our implementation of a data-art exhibition within a computing curriculum, for third-year degree-level students. Students create art-based visualisations from selected datasets and present their work in a public exhibition. We have used this initiative over the course of two academic years with different cohorts, and reflect on its impact on student learning and creativity.

  This survey explores the emerging realm of diffusion-based visual art creation, examining its development from both artistic and technical perspectives. Our findings reveal how artistic requirements are transformed into technical challenges and highlight the design and application of diffusion-based methods within visual art creation. We aim to shed light on the mechanisms through which AI systems emulate and possibly, enhance human capacities in artistic perception and creativity.

  GRADE is a new controlled experimental setting to study pedagogy and representational alignment. We find that improved representational alignment with a student improves student learning outcomes. However, this effect is moderated by the size and representational diversity of the class being taught.

  Digital art portfolios serve as impactful mediums for artists to convey their visions, weaving together visuals, audio, interactions, and narratives. Without technical backgrounds, design students often find it challenging to translate creative ideas into tangible codes and designs. This tool guides and collaborates with students through proactive suggestions and responsible Q&As for learning, inspiration, and support. In detail, the system starts with the understanding of the task and artist's visions, follows the co-creation of visual illustrations, audio or music suggestions and files, click-scroll effects for interactions, and creative vision conceptualization.
