About this lesson
Welcome to your first lesson. Before we open Render or touch a single tool, let’s talk about why AI belongs in this class at all. The short version: AI is a thinking partner here, not a shortcut. You will still do the thinking, the deciding, and the creating. AI just helps you move faster, see more options, and sharpen what is already yours.
Watch through the slides below at your own pace. They set the tone for everything we do this semester, so it is worth a few quiet minutes before we dive in.

Video walkthrough, coming before fall
Michelle will add a recorded walkthrough of these slides here before the fall term begins, so you can hear the why in her own voice.
