Are you ready to learn the art of prompting? This Google Arts and Culture experiment allows everyone to learn how to create effective prompts by practicing recreating images that increase the difficulty level. As each level begins, Say What You See provides a tip for what information to include. Use up to 120 characters to write a prompt to try recreating the provided image. Move up to different difficulty levels by starting with at least a 50% match in recreating the pictures in each level; the percentage to pass increases with each level.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (136), descriptive writing (40), images (261)

In the Classroom

Use this site for both you and your students to practice writing effective prompts to create AI images. Challenge students to increase their skills by awarding digital badges for completing each level. Create digital badges using Badge List, reviewed here. This site is also an excellent resource for students to practice and refine descriptive writing skills using a small number of characters. Ask students to apply those skills to a descriptive writing activity, then paste their writing into an AI image generator such as Adobe Firefly, reviewed here or Microsoft Designer, reviewed here to view the image generated based on their text.

In the Classroom

Use this presentation to introduce lessons on creating AI-generated images or lessons on digital citizenship to help students understand how to verify "real" vs. AI-created information. Use the prompts provided in the lesson to create images in other image creation tools like Ideogram, reviewed here and Image Creator by Designer, reviewed here, then ask students to compare and contrast the images created with each tool. Use the shared prompts as a template for students as they learn how to design effective prompts to create AI images for use with creative writing projects, slide presentations, and other classroom projects.

Use your AI prompting skills to find how closely you can match an image. Every thirty minutes, a new image appears, and users have up to one hundred characters to match the image as closely as possible, using up to one hundred characters in the prompt. After generating the image, Twin Pics provides a percentage indicating the similarity between the original and the generated image. Scroll down the page to view the current leaderboard of user-generated images.

In the Classroom

Understanding how to write effective prompts using generative AI is an important skill, and Twin Pics is an engaging way to learn how to create a short prompt to create images. Use this site as a five-minute time filler to engage students in descriptive writing activities. If students don't have individual access to the site, ask them to write a 100-character prompt, then select a random prompt to view together as a class. Use this site as a model for demonstrating how to write a prompt to create an image, then use Image Creator by Designer, reviewed here to extend learning by creating images and asking students to try to replicate your design. Use images for creative writing projects or include them with multimedia projects.
