Abstract

This article analyzes human-artificial intelligence (AI) collaboration as an innovative methodological strategy for developing creativity in cultural and artistic education. Through a mixed-methods and exploratory research design with 60 secondary school students, the impact of integrating generative AI tools into the artistic creation process was evaluated. The quantitative results, obtained using the Consensus Assessment Technique, demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the originality, technical feasibility, and conceptual depth of the works. Qualitatively, reflective journals and focus groups revealed that AI acts as a cognitive scaffold that reduces anxiety when faced with a blank canvas and fosters divergent thinking. A redefinition of authorship was also observed, with students assuming the role of art director, along with an increase in critical thinking by detecting and confronting algorithmic biases. It is concluded that this synergy democratizes artistic expression and enhances aesthetic curation, although the challenge of conveying genuine emotional expressiveness remains fundamentally dependent on human sensitivity.
