I am not sure how to use the convert function to convert a '.gif' to a '.art' file and can't find anything online or in the book. Can someone help me out?

I just basically change the filename. I used string slice to remove the .gif extension then add .art to the string.

You are supposed to write the convert function, not use it.

Googling is rarely useful for this class. In terms of the textbook, look for the sections about writing to a text file, because the .art file is really just a plain text file written in a specific format.

In terms of figuring out how to get the file name (which is just a string of text) to end in .art instead of .gif, Thu's answer is good.
