Project Title: Visual Arts Narratives in the Generative Age
Project Purpose: To explore and create visual art narratives using AI, showcased in a digital and physical gallery setting.
Key Stakeholder: The student (project manager, researcher, creator) and donors.
2. Project Scope
Inclusions: Research and usage of AI tools for generating images, text, video, and sound; development of web-based assets presented virtually and simultaneously as assets in a physical gallery.
Exclusions: Use of non-AI workflow methods, external professional development services.
3. Goals and Objectives
Research Phase: Investigate and master AI tools over 6 months, documenting the process and findings.
Creation Phase: Utilize the tools to create engaging visual art narratives over the next 6 months.
Exhibition: Display the artworks in a curated gallery setting, online and as assets in a physical space.
4. Project Schedule
Total Duration: 12 months from May 2024 to April 2025.
Key Milestones: Research completion, start and end of art creation, gallery setup and opening.
5. Resource Plan
Human Resources: Managed solely by the student.
Technology: Subscription-based AI tools for image, video, text, and sound generation, and web development tools.
6. Budget
Monthly Costs: Detailed subscription costs for each AI tool and web hosting services pending ($200)
Total Estimated Cost: $6400 for the entire project duration ($2400 in monthly costs + $4000 for two days in gallery).
7. Risk Management Plan
Risk 1: Inadequacy of AI tools to achieve desired artistic quality.
Mitigation: Test multiple tools during the initial research phase and choose the best-performing ones for art creation.
Risk 2: Technical difficulties with online gallery setup.
Mitigation: Use reliable and widely-supported platforms; have backup options for displaying the artworks.
8. Quality Management Plan
Artwork and Platform Standards: Regular review sessions and feedback collection to ensure both artistic value and technical functionality.
9. Communications Plan
Documentation and Outreach: Maintain a project blog, update stakeholders through newsletters, and engage with the community via social media.
10. Stakeholder Analysis
Primary Stakeholder Interests: A real example of potential for democratization of complex methods and process when made available through generative tools to creative artists.
