This paper aimed to explore the use of Freytag’s Pyramid narrative elements in storytelling prompts for artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced art generation known as Leonardo AI. It examines how narrative prompts have been used to enhance the quality of AI-generated art and create more engaging and meaningful art. It would focus on the Freytag's pyramid, a narrative structure that divides a story into five parts, exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and denouement or resolution. This paper would introduce a Freytag's Pyramid Rubric as an attempt to analyse AI-generated art prompts narratives through a limited art generation sampling and demonstration. The study holds significance due to its potential to improve the calibre of AI-generated artwork and its implications for developing such artwork that is more captivating, meaningful, and of superior quality.
