appropriation information
Tips from Studio Art teacher Jane Harlow and AP Resources....
In the latest publication from AP about the portfolios, titled: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: AP Studio Art, Workshop Handbook 2009-2010...........on page 19, there is a very important section titled: Ethics, Artistic Integrity and Plagiarism.
I am going to just copy that information for you so you can print it and show it to anyone that is pushing the copying of photographs, etc. (another teacher, your Principal, a parent!!!)
Any work that makes use of (appropriates) other artist's works (including photographs), and/or published images must show substantial and significant development beyond duplication. This is demonstrated through manipulation of the formal qualities, design and/or concept of the source. The student's individual "voice" should be clearly evident. It is unethical, constitutes plagiarism, and often violates copyright law simply to copy an image (even in another medium) that was made by someone else and represent it as one's own.
Digital images of student work that are submitted in the portfolios may be edited; however, the goals of image editing should be to present the clearest,. most accurate representation of the student's artwork, and to ensure that images meet the requirements of the Digital Submission Web Application. When submitting their portfolios, students must indicate their acceptance of the following statement: "I hereby affirm that all works in this portfolio were done by me and that these images accurately represent my actual work."
My emphasis to the drawing students would be to work from DIRECT OBSERVATION AS much as possible, using copyrighted images only as a very small part of my work and using it only as reference. As far as the 2d DESIGN portfolio, the same thing goes. They can download images of their own artwork or photos and work on them but should follow the same rules as drawing.
The statements I am sending works in the 3D portfolio as well..... do not copy someone else's artwork..... only use it to influence your style, technique or method of construction......... and..... above all......... do these three things: (1) take risks...... risk taking!!! (2) add VERVE and (3) work to show your personal VOICE in your work!!!

Ashley sent me this
Here is a quote that talks about self-portraits that I hope inspires your work this week.
"When they were in school, Peter used to say that everything you do is a self-portrait. It might look like Saint George and the Dragon or The Rape of the Sabine Women, but the angle you use, the lighting, the composition, the technique, they’re all you. Even the reason why you chose this scene, it’s you. You are every color and brushstroke.
Peter used to say, “The only thing an artist can do is describe his own face.”
You’re doomed to being you.
This, he says, leaves us free to draw anything, since we’re only drawing ourselves.
Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It’s all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand.
Everything is a self-portrait.
Everything is a diary."
