The increasing presence of artificial intelligence into everyday life and its application to perform various professional tasks marks a significant shift in the application of technologies in various spheres of life. The use of AI to solve various learning tasks is quickly gaining popularity among students. Careful selection of the forms of its application in the performance of creative tasks would help to increase the creativity of students and improve the results in the creation of products with different visual content.

The following article presents the result of an experiment conducted to create art products created with different applications with AI, offering image-based productions from verbal descriptions.

The Aim of the educational experiment is to encourage students to try to create art pieces by using AI through word description which has to be satisfactory enough and has an aesthetic impact.

The research methods that are used in the study are visual analysis and comparative analysis of the educational art work created by students and resulting from their own imagination and the use of AI based on word descriptions. On the basis of the analysis we determine the level of satisfaction from the results and their aesthetic impact.

The results show that the level of satisfaction is related to the level of creativity of the students. The more creative ones are less satisfied with the results they get. There is a big difference between the artistic and aesthetic impact of the images connected with lines, forms and techniques.

In conclusion, AI-generated images can significantly contribute to the creative process by offering artists alternative visual interpretations of their ideas. AI can adeptly produce new images following creative briefs from artists, yet this does not diminish the essential role of human creativity in the artistic endeavor. The integration of AI tools can thus be seen as an augmentative tool rather than a replacement, enhancing the creative landscape in which artists operate.
