Scare the Stress Away: Paint by AI Prompt

Wednesday, November 13, 2024
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
JKM Library, McGuire Room (310)

Feeling overwhelmed, lonely, stressed? Come take a deep breath, let out a blood-curdling scream, and give your brain a break with spooky crafts at the JKM Library’s Scare the Stress Away series. Snacks will be provided.

During each session, attendees can create a preselected craft based on a spooky book, or you can play around with the provided crafting supplies to create a horror of your own devising. You can also spend the time simply staring into the void.

Supplies will be provided, but you are welcome to bring found objects and supplies of your own if you’d like to create something specific during the hour-long session.

You may have heard of paint by numbers, but have you heard of paint by AI prompt? Join us for a silly painting experience where we let ChatGPT guide us in a chaotic artistic experience.

Prompt inspired by This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno, in which a family buys an Alexa-like device that begins to haunt them in ways unexpected. That description is deceptive, because this book is so much more than that. It explores themes of grief, technology, guilt, and current sociopolitical issues.

The books used to create the prompts are part of the Summer Scares program, which is sponsored by the Horror Writers Association (HWA), in partnership with United for Libraries, Book Riot, and Booklist.
