Abstract

With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technologies, digital art education has entered a new phase that integrates intelligence with creativity. The widespread application of AIGC in visual generation, textual expression, and interactive design has reconstructed the logic of artistic creation and opened new possibilities for pedagogical innovation in vocational colleges. Using the “Cruise Brand AR Cultural Creative Design” teaching project as a case study, this paper explores innovative pathways for AIGC-enabled vocational digital art and design education. Through constructing an intelligent teaching environment, reforming project-based pedagogy, restructuring course content, and implementing a dual empowerment mechanism between teachers and students, this study establishes an integrated teaching system combining “AI Technology – Cultural Narrative – Creative Practice.” The results demonstrate that the incorporation of AIGC significantly enhances students’ creative thinking, cultural expression, and technical proficiency, offering valuable insights into the transformation and industrial alignment of vocational digital art and design education.
