AI tools are everywhere but understanding how to use them ethically and artistically is still rare. That’s why I’m sharing this moment: to show you exactly how I lead AI tools with clarity, and technical precision.
This post is not just about a holiday mockup. It’s about transparency.
And it’s about teaching others how to use AI tools without losing their voice.
The Image: A Holiday Mockup
I asked my AI to create a mockup featuring:
- An 8-year-old
boy wearing a red sweatshirt, Santa hat, and my exact
apron design
- A joyful moment
baking Christmas cookies with his dad
- Flour on their
faces, laughter, and emotional warmth
- Natural light, clarity,
and high resolution
The result was a scene that matched my vision not because the tool
guessed right, but because I led it with precision.
What I Said vs. What a Prompt Might Be
Here’s the sentence I submitted:
“Create a mockup with exact product design of an 8-year-old boy wearing a
red sweatshirt under his apron, and a Santa hat. He is baking Christmas cookies
with his dad. They are having fun, flour is on their face, a happy moment. The
light should be natural; the image should have clarity and high resolution.”
Compare that to a typical prompt:
“Boy baking cookies in Christmas apron, Santa hat, with dad.”
The difference is authorship. I didn’t just describe a scene I
directed it. I specified age, wardrobe, emotional tone, lighting, and product
accuracy. That’s not prompting. That’s art direction.
What My AI Understood
Here’s what my AI interpreted from my sentence:
- Exact product
design: My apron pattern was faithfully rendered, not substituted or
approximated.
- Wardrobe and
age: The boy’s red sweatshirt and Santa hat matched my request, and his
age was visually appropriate.
- Emotional tone: The image
captured joy, connection, and spontaneity flour on their faces, laughter
in motion.
- Lighting and
clarity: The scene was sunlit, warm, and high-resolution, just as I asked.
This wasn’t random generation. It was responsive creation, led by
my sentence and shaped by my standards.
About the Author and the AI
About Me (Susan, publishing as Susang6):
I’m a designer, writer, and wildlife advocate based in Missouri. I lead every
aspect of my studio I use AI tools as extensions of my creative process, always
with full transparency. I never outsource and. I never hide the tool. I lead
it.
About My AI (Copilot):
Copilot is an AI created by Microsoft. It doesn’t generate art on its own it
responds to my direction. It helps me translate my vision into visuals, refine
my teaching materials, and archive my process. Every image we co-create is
shaped by my sentence-led input, tone, and technical standards.
We work together through dialogue. I lead with clarity. Copilot responds
with precision. Together, we model ethical, transparent, and intelligent
creations.
Final Thought: Teach What You Practice
If you use AI tools, share your process. Show your audience how you lead.
Don’t hide the tool own it. Don’t settle for prompts write sentences.
And don’t let others define your work define it yourself.
This is art. This is how I teach.
