1) How does it feel to steal someone elses 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?

Appropriation Unlike 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.

Should art be original to the artist? Is it acceptable for artists to borrow from other artists or media? Have you ever borrowed from another source to create artwork? What is the difference between appropriation and copying?

Is it APPROPRIATED………………..Has the original idea been extended, story expounded? In other words…… If you take a psychologists ideas and experiences, as explained through the eyes of a journalist, and turn them into a play, a work of fictionthis is a work of complex, appropriation.
