Human or AI in Art?

This worksheet supports students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 as they analyze written descriptions of artwork to determine whether the language feels human-written or AI-generated. Through close reading, annotation, and short written responses, students strengthen literary style analysis, textual evidence skills, digital literacy, critical reasoning, and language awareness while exploring how artificial intelligence imitates creative expression and where it falls short.

Academic Focus

• Literary Style Analysis (Grades 6-8) – Students examine tone, word choice, and structure in art descriptions.
• Using Text Evidence – Learners underline repeated phrases, generic wording, and vague emotional language to support their claims.
• AI Awareness in Creative Writing – The worksheet highlights how AI-generated text differs from human art criticism.
• Critical Reasoning – Students justify their decisions with clear, written explanations.

Classroom & Home Use

• Educator-Created Resource – Designed to align with middle school ELA and digital literacy standards.
• Flexible Implementation – Works well for independent work, small-group discussion, or whole-class analysis.
• Engaging and Accessible – Short passages keep students focused while encouraging careful reading and annotation.
• Supports Diverse Learners – Combines visual marking with brief written responses to scaffold higher-level thinking.

This printable worksheet helps students build critical reading, text evidence, style recognition, and digital literacy skills through an engaging exploration of art and language. By learning to recognize patterns such as overly generic phrasing or repetitive descriptions, students gain insight into how AI-generated writing compares to human expression. Suitable for both classroom instruction and homeschool settings, this resource encourages thoughtful analysis of creative text in an increasingly AI-driven world.
