#1 - Contemporary Artists Steal The main idea behind the video I watched was to “copy, transform, combine”. In other words there are no new ideas just new ways to pursue them. I found it interesting that he claimed we are all just reinventing things that have already been done and I’m not entirely sure I agree with that. He says ‘everything is a remix’ and yet I am pretty sure that there will be new things invented in my lifetime. I am interested in the concept of ‘owning’ an idea and what that means to artists. I liked that in the end he didn’t take it too seriously and told the audience to just ‘begin’. Fair use questions: It is legal because only a part of the original image was used and the rest was different - even if the concept was the same. The second is legal for the same reason - only a part of the original image was used and then altered to become a new piece of art. The third picture of Eeyore is not legal because the image is copyrighted and nothing has been changed. Parody - An imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect. In art we can create our own pieces of original art by creating parodies of art we like or find inspiring. Changing it to make it our own, but drawn from a piece as inspiration/muse. Appropriation - The act of taking something for one’s own use, typically without the owner’s permission. In art this would be ‘illegal’ to copy someone’s piece as your own without permission. Re-mix - Mix (something) again a different version of something by combining multiple things. In art this would be like taking the style from one artist and the subject from another and combining them to make a new original piece of art. Copyright basics - printed guidelines To avoid copyright: Don’t use Pinterest Always change it up when using inspiration Make it your own Use photographs you’ve taken as inspiration For this piece I choose the character of Tinkerbell to draw. Instead of the Disney version everyone is used to I used inspiration from an artist who draws characters and updated Tinkerbell to have a more teenage look. After I sketched her I tried to paint her in a cartoon-like style. This is not my normal style, I am definitely trying something new. This piece was more of a learning moment. I tried to do the characters in a different way - making them seem younger - on a ‘starry night’ inspired background - but felt the characters ended up looking too much like the characters as they are.
