During this unit my art class explored the terms/meaning of stealing, copying and being inspired. In my opinion copying is okay. some of the best artist copied other styles from other people and called it their own. There is a fine line between copying and stealing though. Copying part of an artists artwork is fine, but taking the exact same pieces of someones art and replicating without changing anything isn't okay. before completing this project I would have said copying isn't okay but I learned the appropriate way to copy an artists art. This unit has taught me that copying isn't all that bad as long as you're doing it the right way. The character remix project was a project I completed where we would chose an animated character and change something about them that might change the meaning of the art/character. For this project I chose to change Elsa from frozen and make her African-American completed with common African-American traits including darker eyes, hair and skin color. I also changed the color of her dress and accessories to a pinkish color to compliment her darker features. For my final project I chose the burger king logo to copy/steal from. On this project I chose to change the burger king part of the art to "queen bre" and their old slogan "have it your way" to "have it my way". By doing all this I changed the merit of the art to mean something completely different. The value in this piece is that the world revolves around me and their are no exceptions; In comparison to burger king always pleasing their customers by allowing them to have it their way whenever they order food.
