I Created Ai Photo Series Exploring Conformity In The Education System (13 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

In this photo series, I explore the theme of conformity in the education system. The rigid and outdated societal norms of the Victorian era are mirrored in today’s mainstream education system, which too often prioritizes compliance over creativity and critical thinking. Some argue that the education system is designed to produce compliant and obedient citizens who are more likely to follow rules and conform to societal norms, rather than thinking creatively, expressing themselves in unique ways, questioning authority, or challenging the status quo.

Through this visual commentary, I aim to spark a dialogue about the need for a more progressive and individualized approach to education.

I am not against the public school system, but the way it’s going is not very good either. My two siblings were public schooled their entire lives until Covid hit. They did remote school for a year and then my mom started homeschooling them. Now it was absolutely incredible how drastic their academic performance changed. Homeschooling still had its bumps, but my mother found things that the schools never would have found. My sister is a very creative girl. She is fantastic at drawing and can draw very detailed pictures of animals. At public school, she struggled because her class was so big and she would kinda get left in the dust. This photo series is very right. Many schools are killing creativity. People are reacting negatively to this because they don’t want to accept that this is our reality and it’s only getting worse. John Taylor Gatto’s “Dumbing Us Down,” sums this all up perfectly.

I agree. The system is intended to be the same for everyone, but we are all individuals with individual learning needs and interests. Definitely agree with your "dumbing us down" statement - it's something I have seen in my teaching career and also something that has motivated this series. Ken Robinson has also been a great inspiration both for this work and in my teaching.

“Photo series”? What a misleading LIE. This is AI. These ARE NOT “photos”. This IS NOT “art”. Don’t deceive viewers who think that you made any effort at all - an AI made these after you typed a few words into a prompt. Disgusting deception.

Hi, and thank you for your comment. They are actually labeled as AI (see above). However, I used my own photos and also LOTS of editing and painting (pixel-by-pixel) in Photoshop so it's definitely a collaborative effort with AI technologies and my own work. No deception intended as I am an advocate of this new technology and am very open about my process. If you want to learn more about how I work, watch my interview with NYSA here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4clFRRgutE

Because giving everyone the same quality of education is bad?

Questioning the teachers, is not a well seen thing. You need to do stuff their way or they can't grade you. Or they will complain to parents who also say the teacher is wrong, and then she let all her anger out on the student that questioned her. That is pretty much killing any other way to think
