Artificial Intelligence Curriculum for Primary and Secondary Schools
AI for Developing Digital Competence
Art Education I
The Running Wolf and the Walking Lady Liberty
AI and Character Animation
This lesson is primarily intended for children in secondary school (although adults enjoy it too). It is a fun activity that uses an artificial intelligence application to animate characters. As part of the activity, students create and animate a character based on a theme of your choice — for example, from a book, movie, or theater play. No prior knowledge or skills are needed. The goal is to show students how AI can be used in their own creative work.
Lesson Overview
Lesson Length
It depends on your concept of the lesson.
Recommended Age
Ideally 8—11, but can also be used at secondary schools.
Tools
Teacher: Projection equipment, presentation
Students: Drawing, painting modelling materials, phone or tablet, internet connection.
What Are the Students Learning?
The use of generative artificial intelligence tools can be beneficial in visual design.
Why Are They Learning This?
Based on the experience of using generative AI in visual design, it is finding new ways to collaborate with this technology.
How Do We Know They Have Learned It?
They will create a visual representation of the character and use generative artificial intelligence to make it move.
Bloom's Taxonomy
Creation: Students create an original animated character, combining their artistic skills with modern digital technologies.
Evaluation: Evaluate the success of the animation and adjust the result using in-app adjustments (e.g., adjusting reference points or repeating the animation).
Digital Competence
Use and involvement.
Creation and expression.
Efficiency and innovation.
