1) Is there a history of copying or quotation as a studio
practice in the history of art? Examples?
Many - but the queen of appropriation and controversy:
Sherrie Levine
2) Legal concerns of intellectual properties: For
teachers? Students?
How can an instructor use copyrighted material on a class
website or school newsletter? How do you go about
getting permission? Are there ways to use the info w/out
permission?
Keep it legal in the art room!
You can get classroom sets for one time use, etc. Your
tech person or district office should have these
guidelines.
Or just do a copyright search for art:) on google.
3) What concerns are there with the use of print sources
in relation to copying or duplication, and classroom use?
See # 2
4) (I know this is a pretty open-ended question...) What
value do you place upon "Intellectual property"?
economic, aesthetic, cultural, historical, personal,
spiritual...?
Personal value / Character / Integrity - is the image
manipulated - or is it still recognizable in regards to
the original? I had a student tell me the "Change 3
things rule" (Change 3 things and we can use it.) I said,
"Not in my class" - if I can tell where it came from - it
may be in violation of intellectual property and
copyright issues.
I try to inspire with the work of many artists - but
direct appropriation - unless you are Sherrie Levine -
isn't a good practice for MY art classes. I think
students need to learn that copying is good for practice
and learning, but I want my students to create their own
- then they are another link in the progression of art
history.
Gotta run!
