Visual Exercise #1 – Visual Art Series Abstraction*

In my project, I used the technique of “Abstraction: Experiment with shapes, colors, and forms to convey emotions or impressions” for my visuals. I tried to convey 5 different emotions. Some simple, some complex.

I described the emotions I wanted to depict to ChatGPT which then crafted prompts for me to give to DALL-E to create. When DALL-E gave me the images I didn’t settle on the first ones generated. Instead, I kept pushing the generator to create more, asking it to be “more extreme” and such until it produced something that I felt matched the emotions I was trying to convey. I did not specify realism or animation.

I got inspiration from multiple pieces of media I saw online with different “vibes”. For example, a video I saw online that simply depiction older looking photos of playgrounds with background music with a caption along the lines of “The good ol’ days”. The video made me feel nostalgic, but also sad, because it reminded me that I’m not a kid anymore. My life used to be so good, and yet during that time of my life all I wished for was to be a grown up. I will never be able to experience those things again. They now just live in my memory.
Is Ai capable of depicting an image that expresses this emotion?
