Teaching Picasso Today: Challenges and Controversies in Art Education
Pablo Picasso is considered a representative artist who transformed modern art through innovation, yet he has also caused controversy due to his pessimistic view of women and the complexity of his private life. The women in his works reflect not only Picasso’s emotional changes and personal relationships but also the patriarchal social structure of his time, going far beyond simple artistic expression. His famous remark, “goddesses or doormats,” illustrates his attitude towar

AI as a Co-Creator: Ethical Boundaries and Philosophical Implications
While some people suggest that AI is a Co-Creator, I am inclined to believe that AI cannot be regarded as a co-creator but only as an auxiliary tool, because it cannot replace human creativity. Even if we receive help from AI, the final outcome is ultimately produced by humans, since all the data within artificial intelligence has been designed, selected, or infused by human beings. Although AI may appear to follow a process similar to human thinking, it merely imitates exist

Ethics of AI in Art: Bias, Originality, and Consent
The deflection of the data can draw out biased results when humans experience social discrimination or prejudice. To solve this, we have to build up learning data that cover various human groups such as age, gender, and race, and revise and evaluate fairness throughout the development of the AI model. Because of the unauthorized use of AI data, many AI models collect works published on the web without permission from rights holders and use them for learning. It leads to conti

Picasso and Primitivism: Appropriation or Inspiration
In the early 20th century, many artists in Paris, including Picasso, were finding a new visual language and trying to escape from Western traditional academic art. African art pieces and masks that were encountered in Paris ethnographic museums or through merchants gave a powerful impact on them. Because of this, Picasso was attracted to the abstraction of African art, the innovation of form, and the geometric simplicity of the human body. This influence became a formation of

The Women Behind the Canvas: Picasso’s Muses and Their Influence on His Work
The women in Picasso’s life profoundly influenced his art. Dora Maar, a photographer, played a crucial role during the Spanish Civil War period, inspiring the creation of Guernica and serving as the muse for the Weeping Woman series. Her passionate personality and emotional depth are vividly reflected in Picasso’s paintings, particularly in Portrait of Dora Maar , which depicts bold makeup, sharp fingers, and flame-like hair. Dora not only inspired him emotionally but also

Intellectual Property and Copyright in AI-Generated Art
According to copyright law, we should not recognize it about o utputs created by non-human AI. However, in my opinion, if a human gives specific instructions to the AI or modifies, edits, and creatively refines its output, the human can be granted copyright protection to the extent of their creative contribution, and if someone is emotionally moved by a poem written by AI, I strongly argue that it deserves to be recognized as art. For example, there is an example that th

Picasso and Ai: Can Machines Recreate Genius?
Picasso is an innovative artist who created a new visual system and broke established artistic rules. However, the increasing number of AI-generated works that imitate Picasso’s style raises concerns that the value of his original creations may be diminished. AI can produce various images in a Picasso-like style through text-to-image generators such as Midjourney, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion. These tools generate images by learning the characteristics of Picasso’s Cubism—geo

Integrating Ai into Art Education: Tools or Threats?
I personally believe that integrating AI into art education is necessary for the future of learning. The main reason is that AI can act as a creative partner that expands students’ imagination and expressive abilities, rather than simply functioning as a tool that produces artwork for them. Most importantly, AI provides strong inspiration by generating new ideas and styles that surpass human imagination. Specifically, AI can create visually unique results based on massive art

AI and the Democratization of Art: Empowerment or Erosion of Creativity?
I believe AI has dramatically expanded access to art because it energizes communication, broadens accessibility, and raises the quality of artistic work. For example, AI accelerates communication. people showcase their work on social platforms, and through this process, we share art more widely. These days, we sometimes rely on AI instead of making everything entirely by hand. In many cases, AI generated works can be more precise and higher in quality than works made solely b

Picasso and the Unconscious: A Freudian Reading of His Art
Picasso’s work did not simply change the look of modern art. In visual form, it staged the pressures and releases of the unconscious like desire, anxiety and aggression. In Freudian terms, his formal experiments are not mere stylistic turns but scenic devices that make psychic conflict legible. The studio becomes a dream stage that looks like planes slide, viewpoints overlap, and objects split and recombine, as if the canvas itself were performing dream work like displacement

Can AI Understand Beauty? The Limits of Machine Perception and the Role of Human Judgment
AI can learn patterns of beauty based on data. For example, if AI studies thousands of pictures and paintings, it can statistically identify which images people consider beautiful. However, this is not true understanding. Human aesthetic judgment is a complex experience involving emotions, culture, context, and philosophical reflection. Since AI lacks emotions, it cannot comprehend why something is perceived as beautiful. AI can analyze aesthetic elements in images, music, an

Guernica: Art as Political Resistance and the Aesthetics of War
Art is especially regarded as a medium for expressing emotion and creativity. People convey their inner emotions and ideas through music, visual art, literature, and performance. While experiencing aesthetic pleasure, they also assert their own identities. However, in certain historical and political contexts, art transcends mere self‑expression; it becomes a powerful vehicle for social critique and political messaging, awakening public consciousness to oppression and violenc
