Combining Art Project

First Step:
Student in this course created individual pieces of work prior to class, then worked in groups to combine their art into one group piece.

Second Step:
Digital representations of this work were then posted on this blog for other groups to retrieve and manipulate using video as medium.

Third Step:
The students created the videos which were uploaded to the blog as well.

Purpose:
Students will see how their individual and group work was easily manipulated and combined through the use of digital technologies. This exercise allows students to experience what many artists are feeling when their work is manipulated without their consent or knowledge.

This presents questions of ownership:

Who owns the work?
-Is it considered something new that can be claimed by the manipulator?

-What impact does this have on the artist of the original work, who may not agree with the new representation of their artwork?

-How accountable should the manipulater be in assigning credit to original artists' work or for obtaining permission to reuse/manipulate the piece?
