Abstract : This mini-review examines the current trends, benefits, challenges, and future directions of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in art education. The primary purpose of the review is to explore how AI technologies are reshaping teaching, learning, and creative practices within visual arts education. A structured literature search was conducted using Scopus and Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed publications from 2018 to 2024. Boolean search strings incorporating terms such as "artificial intelligence," "machine learning," "visual arts," "creative education," "curriculum," and "student engagement" were used to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria comprised original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, case studies, and scholarly commentaries written in English and explicitly addressing AI in the context of art education. The findings reveal that AI applications—including generative adversarial networks (GANs), image recognition, and intelligent tutoring systems—are being used to support student creativity, personalize learning experiences, and streamline assessment processes. While these technologies offer promising enhancements to pedagogical practice, the review also identifies significant challenges, such as ethical concerns, disparities in access, and insufficient teacher training. A notable limitation in the current body of research is the scarcity of longitudinal studies evaluating the sustained impact of AI on learners' creative development and instructional outcomes. In conclusion, the integration of AI in art education presents transformative potential but requires careful implementation supported by ethical frameworks, educator preparedness, and inclusive design. Future research should prioritize empirical evaluations, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the development of practical guidelines for educators to effectively integrate AI tools into creative and instructional processes.
