•1) How does it feel to steal someone else’s work? Are you comfortable with copying the work of others and how would you feel if you found out someone had copied a work of yours?

AppropriationUnlike copying or forgery, which attempt to trick viewers into

believing they are looking at something unique, appropriation hinges on the ability of the viewer to recognize the original source of the image and all of its connotations.

Appropriate: To take for oneself; to take possession of.  To take without permission.

The element of appropriation concerns the use of images and objects from other sources.  This includes other artists, art history, books, films, newspapers, magazines, advertising and everyday objects.  The appropriated items may be combined with other images or placed in a new context, or simply retitled.  Artists do this to pay homage or tribute to another artist, or make fun of an image or an idea, or to cause the viewer to look at the subject in a new way.

Thierry Guetta, who was made famous by being the centerpiece of Banksy's Exit from the Gift Shop documentary, has failed to persuade a judge that his artwork does not infringe on the photograph by Glen E. Friedman of the band Run DMC.

The reasons: "lack of originality,“ “framing (compositon, depth of field, lighting which were all decisions originally made by the photographer.

Are these APPROPRIATED or PLAGARIZED???

Is it APPROPRIATED………………..Has the original idea been extended, story expounded?

In other words…… If you take a psychologist’s ideas and experiences, as explained through the eyes of a journalist, and turn them into a play, a work of fiction—this is a work of complex, ‘appropriation.’

Your mission if you choose to accept it….. (well you must accept it because your grade depends on it)……
