My research led me to Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), a fascinating generative model. The idea is to train it with style transfer algorithms on historical artwork and cultural data to generate new pieces that capture the essence of different eras within Yoruba culture. To gain a solid grasp of the fundamentals before diving into prompting, I've invested in a few highly rated courses on Midjourney and AI art generation.
Project Goal
To use AI to generate art depicting Yoruba culture from the 17th century to the present, organized by historical eras.
Next Steps
My immediate focus is to complete the courses I purchased. From there, I'll start experimenting with some initial prompts in Midjourney, explore ways to create a unique artistic style, and set up the basic web infrastructure, including a "Coming Soon" landing page for the portfolio website.
Learnings & Challenges
- What I've Learned: Machine learning is an intense and fascinating field. I've also learned that content creation is a demanding yet rewarding process that requires consistent effort and practice.
- The Challenges: The main struggle is balancing this project with work, family, and friends. I'm quickly realizing that discipline, not just motivation.
