Bulldog Experience: Engage, Reflect, Create
Initial & Culminating Experiences Reflection Cover Sheet & Prompts
Reflection is an integral part of experiential learning through which one transforms
experiences and thoughts concerning the meaning and implications of the experiences into new
knowledge and skills (Kolb, 1984). Reflection has been shown to improve one’s future performance
and boost productivity and effectiveness because understandings gained through the experience are
solidified when reflecting and are subsequently more easily applied to new situations.
Part 1: Begin your reflection by providing the specific information requested below about your
experiential learning engagement. If the engagement is part of a specific course, you may ask your
instructor for clarification, if needed. If it is not part of a course, you may contact someone in the
Office of Bulldog Experience by calling 662-325-0831 or by emailing
BulldogExperience@qep.msstate.edu for further assistance.

1. Describe the experience by explaining “what, where, when, who, why and how”.
The experience of the AI workshop was somewhat intriguing. It was taught by Ardith during
my class-time, for the purpose of learning how to use AI in Art. We used the program
Midjourney and our own images to generate art.
2. What knowledge and skills previously acquired through in-class and out-of-class experiences
did you use during the experience?
I used my previous knowledge and experience in digital drawing to create the pieces for the
project.
3. Explain what you learned during the experience and how it aligns with your academic
program of study.
I learned the inner workings of Midjourney and how to create AI art, particularly through the
digital medium.
4. In what ways was the experience meaningful and beneficial to you?
It was beneficial in showing me how AI art can be used as a tool rather than a cheat. That
being said, I still feel like I am cheating.
5. What did you learn during the experience that will be helpful to you in your future?
I learned that going forward I will not be using AI in my images.
