Across two days, students develop progressive prompting techniques across 10+ sketching styles in Midjourney, compare MidJourney, DeepSeek, and ChatGPT for prompt generation, then animate their sketches using Kling AI, ArchiVinci, and Rendair to produce camera movement, transitions, and visual effects. The course is Beginner level and results in a 12-second animated sketch video presentation. ## What you'll learn - Progressive prompt development techniques using MidJourney - Exploration of 10+ different architectural sketching styles - How to generate automatic prompts within MidJourney - Comparative strategies using DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT for sketch-based prompting - Techniques for sketch animation directly inside MidJourney - Creating fluid and professional sketch animations with Kling AI - Using Archivincy for advanced sketch animation workflows - Combining Rendair and Archivincy for high-quality sketch generation ## Methodology This workshop is divided into two main parts: ### AI Sketch Creation Participants will explore a wide range of sketching styles using AI, from loose conceptual drawings to more defined representations. Emphasis will be placed on prompt development strategies that progressively refine the visual outcome. This section encourages creative exploration beyond photorealism, focusing on mood, interpretation, and conceptual strength. ### Professional Animation with AI The second part of the workshop will focus on animating the generated sketches. This workshop will teach you how to utilize AI tools to create professional-grade animations featuring various camera movements, transitions, and visual effects. The goal is to develop compelling animated presentations that effectively communicate architectural ideas to clients and stakeholders, especially in the early design phase. ### Program: ### Day 1: AI Prompting & Sketch Creation in MidJourney ### Mastering Prompting for Architectural Sketches: - Introduction to the course and key objectives - What is progressive prompting? - Building prompts from scratch: structure, clarity, and iteration - Live demonstration: generating sketch outputs in MidJourney - Hands-on exercise: participants create and refine prompts for a chosen design ### Exploring Styles & Smart Prompting Tools - Overview of 10+ sketching styles in architecture (pencil, ink, charcoal, axonometric, etc.) - Matching style with concept and context - Automatic prompt generation inside MidJourney - Comparison: MidJourney vs. DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT for architectural prompts - Hands-on session: create three stylistically distinct sketch views of the same project ### Day 2: AI-Powered Sketch Animation & Presentation ### Animating Your Sketches with AI Tools - Introduction to animation tools: Kling AI, Archivincy, and MidJourney video - Understanding movement: camera logic in architectural storytelling with Kling AI - Live demo: creating motion from static sketches - Hands-on: animating a Day 1 sketch using MidJourney ### Advanced Workflows & Final Showcase - Using Archivincy + Rendair for advanced sketch animation workflows - Enhancing animations with smooth transitions and layered depth - Final hands-on: each participant creates a 12-second animated sketch video of a topic given by the instructor - Group review and professional feedback - Closing: exporting, sharing, and presenting your animated concepts ## Curriculum ### Session 1 - Intro + PAACADEMY Updates (16:13) - Introduction to MidJourney (55:16) - Refining AI Design Workflows (42:55) - Refining Images with Ratios (36:59) - Dynamic Architectural Visualization (50:59) - Enhancing Designs with Prompts (29:20) ### Session 2 - Exploring AI Sketch Workflows (01:03:26) - Sketching with AI Styles (52:49) - Rendering & Animation Workflows (49:31) - Animating Architecture with AI (29:32) - From Sketches to Motion (31:39) ## FAQ ### Do I need prior experience with AI tools or sketching to join this workshop? No prior AI experience is required, but basic familiarity with architectural sketching or design concepts will help. The workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate participants, and all AI workflows will be explained step-by-step. ### What software or subscriptions do I need before the workshop? All participants will receive a one-month free subscription to Rendair during the workshop. The only required subscription is a MidJourney Standard membership for the hands-on exercises. Other AI tools used in the workshop (Kling AI, Archivincy, ChatGPT, DeepSeek) will be demonstrated by the instructor, but having your own subscriptions for these is not mandatory to attend. ### Will the workshop cover how to animate sketches? Absolutely. You’ll learn to animate your AI-generated sketches using tools like Kling AI and Archivincy, adding camera movements, transitions, and depth effects to create professional animated presentations. ### Will I learn prompt writing techniques specific to architectural sketches? Yes. You’ll develop progressive prompting skills tailored for architectural sketches, including how to refine concepts, generate stylistic variations, and use AI to achieve consistent, high-quality results. ### What will I take away from the workshop? By the end, you’ll have a complete workflow for turning architectural concepts into dynamic, animated presentations, along with your own AI-generated sketches and a polished animated video you can showcase in your portfolio or client pitches.
