Digital developments are changing the art world—and artificial intelligence is opening up new avenues for creative work. In this two-day workshop, creative professionals without prior technical knowledge will discover how AI can enrich their own process. The focus is on “prompting”—the art of creating images with language. Step by step, you will learn to experiment with AI, visualize ideas, and expand your visual language. We explore where analog practice and digital possibilities meet: as a source of ideas, a sketching aid, or an impulse for new perspectives. AI is nothing more and nothing less than your creative assistant. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to try new things.
What to bring: iPad/tablet, cell phone, or laptop, sketchbook (if available)
Included: Materials (drawing paper, pencils, binder for sketches)

Day 1: Artistic workflows, hybrid design, collage, material practice, and image aesthetics – taught artistically, practice-oriented, and without technical pressure.
There is plenty of room for free experimentation: you work at your own pace, receive individual support and specific guidance when you need it. In a focused, relaxed atmosphere, time often flies by. A joint lunch break invites open conversation, exchange, and networking.
Day 2: The workshop ends on Sunday afternoon with a joint exhibition setup, where selected works are presented.
After completing the basic course, we will show the results in a public group exhibition—together with works by artist and course instructor Erika Kassnel-Henneberg.
Afterwards, we will open our doors for an open house for friends and acquaintances—as an appreciative conclusion to share insights, make processes visible, and celebrate the resulting works together.
No prior knowledge required.
Please bring: iPad/tablet, cell phone, or laptop, sketchbook (if available)

Artificial intelligence as a creative assistant – course for creatives
This multi-day workshop is aimed at creatives who have had little contact with new digital tools and are curious about how artificial intelligence can enrich their own artistic process.
The focus is on “prompting” – the art of using language to create images. Step by step, you will learn how to experiment with AI, develop visual ideas and expand your own visual language. Along the way, you will learn how AI can be used in other areas of artistic creation. Together we will explore where analog practice and digital possibilities meet: as a source of ideas, a sketching aid or an impulse for new perspectives.
Artificial intelligence as your personal assistant – nothing more and nothing less! No technical knowledge required – just a desire to explore new creative territory.
No prior knowledge required.

“In February 2026, the Kunstakademie Tegernsee will present an extraordinary media art program featuring art prize winner Erika Kassnel-Henneberg. The artist combines analog image design, photography, and artificial intelligence to create hybrid visual worlds that redefine perception, identity, and creative thinking. Her works have been exhibited internationally, and we are delighted to present them for the first time in the gallery studio of the Tegernsee Art Academy.”
Two creative age formats will take place on the first weekend of the exhibition. Children and young people will develop their own visual worlds and experience artistic processes between analog design and AI-based enhancements—freely, appreciatively, and without technical pressure.
After the workshop day, we will present the results of the children’s and youth workshops publicly in the exhibition.
The midissage creates artistic visibility, opens up dialogue between analog creativity and contemporary media art, and provides the ideal introduction to the continuing education program for adults.
