01
The imaginary is not spontaneous
Where do ideas actually come from?
Students map references, memory, and cultural inputs already shaping their work.
Output: a first map of personal references and influences.
Education for creative institutions
Teach students to see how creative thinking is built.
Construção do Imaginário is a four-session programme for art students and creative contexts. It uses AI to examine perception, references, tension, and decision-making—not to generate finished work.
Construção do Imaginário
A practical programme about perception, structure, and authorship.
Students learn to identify what is already shaping their work before they produce it.
This is not software training and it does not use AI as a shortcut. AI enters as a critical support tool for questioning, contrast, analysis, and conceptual structure.

02
See before creating
How does interpretation shape form?
Students produce multiple readings of the same source and examine the filters behind each one.
Output: contrasted interpretations from a single source.
03
Tension as creative material
What tensions are already structuring the work?
Conflict, contradiction, and pressure are identified and translated into usable form.
Output: a piece or sketch built from identified tensions.
04
Build a personal creative system
What can become language and authorship?
Students organise recurring patterns, references, and decisions into a repeatable way of thinking.
Output: an initial personal creative system.
How AI is used
A thinking tool—not a substitute for authorship.
AI helps organise thought, expose patterns, create contrast, and generate sharper questions when students are trapped inside one reading.
Used as
Questioning tool · Conceptual mirror · Structure support · Contrast mechanism

Shortcut · Authorship replacement · Automatic art generator · Ready-made aesthetic solution
About
The work comes from practice first, then structure.
I’m Diogo Galvão.
I bring experience from operations, tourism, delivery, communication, and systems—fields where good work quickly loses coherence when information, responsibility, and judgment remain loose.
Training across Media & Society, NLP, coaching, and sales supports the programme’s focus on language, attention, behaviour, interpretation, and human decision.
The aim is not to make students dependent on tools. It is to help them recognise what is already organising their work and use technology only where it strengthens authorship.
