The difference between getting "inspiration" from another piece and "stealing" an idea is in a video we watched, the guy said that no art is original. All art come from preexisting Art. So when you use others art for inspiration, you are simply making the art your own. It's taking art work and imagining it in different ways than the last person. When you steal an art piece, you take others ideas and keep them the way the original artist saw it. You are taking the idea and putting your name on it. I think that it is okay to use part of a peice if you make it your own. Like I said before, it's using the art work as inspiration because there really isn't new art just new ways to interpret the art.
I combined an Elephant and Butterfly's. I picked these two mediums because I really enjoy painting Elephants, I love the way they look and the way elephants are built. I chose butterfly's because they have vibrant colors and I thought the colors of a butterfly would even out the grey of the Elephant. One thing I would change about my piece is the background. I don't really enjoy the way the background turned out at all and if I could I would go back and change where the elephant and butterfly's location is. I think the most successful thing about my piece is the watercolor techniques. I like how the wet on wet turned out and saran wrap on the paint made the elephants texture.

How did you use your own unique ideas in your work? *I use my own thoughts in coming up with any art work that i have to do. I like to try and draw objects that have some significance to me or mean something to me. When I draw i like to have some inspiration need by, but thats only inspiration not copying anything from anybody. I use the techniques i have learned and apply them in different ways to make original art. Did you use a source for inspiration, then combine it with your own ideas to make it original? *Yes I did, for my final stippling project, I found a picture that some photographer had taken of these beautiful flowers and I wanted to draw something like that. So I took that picture and had it by me for inspiration the whole time I was drawing. I didn't draw the same flowers, i had to make them my own, so i added my own personal touches. "I Developed My Art Making Skills" Did you learn new techniques or processes as part of the work for this project? *I learned many new techniques during this unit. I learned how to stipple, shade, I learned the shading scale, and how to use charcoal. I applied all of these techniques in the drawings I have done. Did you gain skill with familiar materials? *I had somewhat already known how to shade, but with this unit i learned how to shade better. I learned that i should never be afraid of going too dark. I also learned that with shading in a picture you have to have the lightest and the darkest in the shading scale for the picture to come together. I think that overall i am a better shader now. For me, I thought the hardest mini lesson to do was the charcoal drawing. I thought charcoal was very hard to work with and very difficult to make little details. It was very messy and got all over the place. Sometimes i would be working and rest my arm on the drawing and all of the charcoal would come off onto my arm and i would have to draw/ shade that part again. I also thought it was the hardest because it didn't turn out so well. The easiest one was the perspective photo. I thought they were really fun and cool to do and when we went out there, the ideas for what we should do just kept flowing in and we had some really cool pictures.
