Grade 10 Art - Day 45, "Intellectual Property"

Building on our conversation yesterday about appropriation and plagiarism, I wanted to introduce you to the term intellectual property as it relates to visual art.

Intellectual property is defined as: "property that results from original creative thought, as patents, copyright material, and trademarks." (dictionary.com)

As an artist, you need to be mindful of how your creations are your own intellectual property!

Here is an excellent Ted Talk that speaks to the concerns surrounding copy-written material and intellectual property.  We will watch this video and discuss as a class!
