Topic: Art as Intellectual Property  Credit: 10% each

Discuss copying, modeling, mimicking, quotation or artistic license taken with art works in terms of:

1. Copy or quotation  as part of the studio learning activity of artists or students: Is there a history of this in studio practice in the history of art?  Examples.
2. Legal concerns of intellectual properties: For teachers? For students ? (copyright; license)  If you want to use copyrighted materials on a class website or for a school newsletter, what must you do about permissions?  Are there proper ways to use these materials without permissions for class use (even if you want to post those materials online)?
3. Print sources -- copying or duplication of source materials and fair use for classroom:  Does your school have a fair use policy?
4. Copying, duplication, or quotation  of source materials and fair use for instruction or private study  (both images and text), electronic sources (software programs, Web resources).
5. Value of intellectual property (economic, aesthetic, cultural, historical, personal, spiritual)
