Today in class we discussed appropriation art which by defiition means, "to adopt, borrow, recycle or sample aspecrs (or the entire form) of man-made culture. The term refers to the use of borrowed elements in the creation of new artwork. An appropriation artist we learned about today is Shepard Fairey. He changed the angle of O'bama's face from the oringal photo taken, he stated he titled it at a different angle. Although he did have copywright issues as he took this photo from a photographer. If he had simply took the photo and turned it first into something of his own, by drawing it first, it would have been okay for ownership. Another artist who uses appropriation is Andy Warhol in his Campbell Soup artworks.(posted by Kaitlyn)
