Class Exercise4

1. What’s the difference between Appropriation and plagiarism

Appropriation is defined as the artistic practice or technique of reworking images from well-known paintings, photographs, etc., in one's own work, whereas plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

2. Does the strategy of Appropriation encourage or hinder your ‘creativity’?

It encourages our ‘creativity’ according to the two videos that we have watched ‘everything is a remix’ and ‘freeing culture’. We are influenced by the things we see every day. Appropriation allows us to extend our creativity based on existing works.

3. Does the strategy of appropriation in conflict with the copyright legislation in our school? Please explain.

It is not. According to the definition of appropriation, it is not in conflict as long as we give credit to the source.

I was actually excused from this class due to a performance.

But I do know a lot of things from photoshop as I had actually started using it since secondary school out of my own interest in graphics design and editing. So I played with it a lot and explored the many functions over these years. :D I am quite sure these can be seen from my works.
