Nadia's Wednesday, two ways

Nadia, a fine artist who makes mixed media paintings and small sculptures.

Nadia starts Wednesday with a half finished painting on the wall and a grant application due Friday. She opens ChatGPT and types a prompt from Develop Artistic Concepts: 'Ask me five questions about the idea of repair in my new paintings, then help me write a three sentence concept note.' The questions make her notice the cracked plaster she keeps photographing.

Next she uses Write About Your Art to draft a short artist statement for a local open call. She pastes her old bio, adds notes about indigo dye and found wood, and asks for a warmer tone. Then she switches to Claude for Research Materials and Techniques. She asks about ventilation when working with encaustic wax and which boards are less likely to warp.

After lunch she opens Gemini to Plan Studio Projects. She lists the six pieces for her spring show, the hours she has before then, and the frames she still needs. The AI helps her make a simple week by week plan and a supply list she can check off.

By four o'clock the grant draft is ready for her edit, the studio plan is on the wall, and she has time to varnish two small panels. She uses the extra hour to walk to the park and sketch, which is where her best ideas often start.
