1. Explain your thoughts on what is meant by stealing in this talk.
In this talk the term stealing, which is normally looked down upon is used in a way that states stealing ideas and transforming them into something else is ok.
This bothered me a little, the fact that Famous artists are only famous because of their originality and then this guy comes up and says nothing is original and is influenced by something that came before. That is where I tilt my head up a little and scratch my head.
2. Have you personally used ideas by other artists as your own?
Some of the ideas I have are influenced by vidieo games ( Minecraft ) and the others are influenced by something that I have already done that my or may not be influenced by something else.
3. Did you change the ideas in any way? Explain.
I had used the blocky style of Minecraft and incorporated it into Subject-3 in my final exam for grade 11, but changed it by puting some rounder lines around the back and mouth area.
4. According to Austin Kleon what is the difference between stealing and copying?
According to Austin Kleon Stealing is where you rip the idea that you get from something else and transform that idea into another idea that then becomes available to steal. Copying is where you take an idea and instead of changing it you keep it the same.
5. Do you think there is such thing as originality? Explain your answer with examples.
Originality in art takes time to find but its definitely there because all those who STOLE an idea they had to transform it and change it to something that become mostly their own idea.
