The True Energy of Children’s Art: Why Creativity Can’t Be Replaced by AI

The True Energy of Children’s Artwork

Looking at my students’ artwork always brings me great joy. Their pure perspectives and emotions are revealed so honestly on paper. These days, we often hear people say that with the rise of artificial intelligence, human creativity will shrink, and the younger generation will face a harder life. But I do not believe that is true. Such worries stem from not understanding the invisible energy and value that art carries.

Think of the moment when you see a baby smile and find yourself smiling back. It is not only because of the shape of the face but because of the warmth and energy that flows from it. No matter how advanced AI becomes, I doubt it could ever transmit that same feeling with complete authenticity. The same is true for painting. Every artwork holds its own unique energy. The emotions and intentions of the artist shine through without disguise. That is why I love art: it never lies, and it never betrays me.

Art is like a star glowing alone in a pitch-dark night sky, casting light on a directionless world. When I see the artwork of children, that star seems even brighter. A drawing made with a child’s pure heart has undeniable value because it contains the unique energy of that age. It is a trace of time that will never return, and for that reason alone, it deserves preservation.

Especially when children paint with the intention of protecting and loving nature, I believe their hearts themselves become art. Their sincerity, unpolished and free of artificiality, shines through their brushstrokes. When I see a piece with the words “Save The Frogs” written across it, I feel more than just a creative expression—I feel the pure will to respect life and care for the environment. That kind of truth cannot be replicated by an AI-generated image, no matter how beautiful it may appear.
​
This is why I treasure children’s artwork so deeply. It contains not just technique or visual appeal but pure honesty and life energy. These works are like little lights that brighten our future. They remind us of values worth protecting and prove that genuine creativity will always have a place in the human spirit.
