In an era where technology and art are increasingly merging, this paper describes the design and significance of the AI-based Image Generation System. Tailored to promote children's emotional and artistic development, the system pioneers an innovative approach to curating graphic masterpieces that resonate with children's unique emotional and personality traits based on real-time feedback from children. Rather than focusing on empirical results, this account highlights the underlying design principles and interactive paradigms of the system. Initial observations suggest that the system has a profound ability to increase children's emotional intelligence - that is, emotional recognition, regulation and empathy. At the same time, their enthusiasm for the arts and self-confidence are significantly improved, making the system a pioneer in arts and technology for child development.
