Summary/Abstract: Art and art education plays a crucial role in fostering various aspects of a child’s development – cognitive, sensorimotor, and emotional dimensions. However, advancements in digital technologies have led to a declining interest in artistic expression among children, necessitating a redefinition of approaches to stimulate students’ creativity and creative potential. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) represents an innovative approach in education, one that not only preserves traditional values of artistic expression but also strengthens them, bringing visual language back to the forefront of 21st-century education. This approach not only motivates students but also opens new possibilities for contemporary art education by integrating technology in ways that foster creativity and adapt to the needs of the digital generation. This study was based on a multi-layered workshop and lecture structure aimed at examining the impact of AI technologies on students’ creativity and motivation in art education. The sample consisted of 44 students in total, including third-year and fourth year students from the department of Preschool Education (56.82%) and the department of Classroom Teaching (43.18%). Descriptive statistical methods were employed, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS. The participating students attended the lecture and actively engaged in the workshop. The results indicate that 84.09% of students had previously used AI tools in creative expression, while 95.24% reported using ChatGPT. Most students (61.36%) agreed that AI technologies make lessons more engaging, and 70.45% noted increased motivation to explore art after using AI tools. All respondents (100%) believed that AI contributes to understanding visual language and enhances creativity in art education. The advantages of AI include fostering creativity, better understanding, and innovation. The study’s conclusions suggest that AI technologies have significant potential for improving art education. Recommendations include greater openness from educators toward AI technologies, their integration into the educational process, and the provision of resources and training for both teachers and students to fully realize the potential of these technologies.
