ArtTech Cross-Cultural Creative Digital Art Workshop: A Journey of Empathy and Respect. ArtTech Project coordinated by FUTOUR

🌟 ArtTech Cross-Cultural Creative Digital Art Workshop: A Journey of Empathy and Respect 🌟

On June 22, 2024, we embarked on an inspiring journey with our ArtTech Cross-Cultural Creative Digital Art Workshop in Italy coordinated by FUTOUR, focusing on promoting empathy and respect through storytelling and digital art. The workshop is developing through several sessions on June 29 and July 5, 8, and 10, bringing together 8 young women from diverse backgrounds from Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Colombia to explore the profound connections between technology, art, and cultural understanding.

We delved into the theme of empathy and respect, encouraging participants to share their experiences and thoughts. Through active listening, perspective-taking, empathy mapping, and cultural humility, we built a foundation of mutual respect and understanding.

One of the highlights was the interactive session using Ideogram, a tool that allows us to create visual representations from textual prompts. Participants transformed their personal stories into beautiful visual art, capturing the essence of empathy in a multicultural environment. This activity not only showcased their creativity but also deepened their connection to each other’s experiences.

Our sessions have also included the use of Freytag's Pyramid to understand classic story structures: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. We learned how to create interesting and three-dimensional characters and discussed the importance of setting in narrative.

The next sessions on July 19 and 22 will focus on writing narrative prompts and how to turn narrative elements into effective prompts for MidJourney. We will also practice writing prompts based on short stories created during the workshop.
