They understand the ...They simply don't get it. They understand the part about their work being theirs but they still do not get the fact that you cannot copy some other artists work. That a photographer has as much right to his or her work as a painter. <br /><br />How often do we read the words "I found this photo on the internet" ? Like these photos simply appear out of the ether, and no one is behind it.<br /><br />When you do have to reject a work for this, they get really mad at you. The take it personally, as an assault on their character. They do not realize that they have stolen anothers work.<br /><br />I have student all the time bring in such photos or I am asked, "you are an artist, can do make me a copy of so-and-sos painting? And they are upset when I say no.<br /><br />I hear one woman say, not so behind my back, "well she can't do it so she uses that as an excuse, she is not real artist!" <br /><br />Ah!!!!!!!!!!Starrpointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544531971211521686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024976412054322596.post-40492769680496258122010-09-28T02:47:26.339-04:002010-09-28T02:47:26.339-04:00I get the impression some people don't read th...I get the impression some people don't read the entry rules/requirements at all, they take in what the overall subject or medium is, and stop there, wasting their entry fee and the organizer's time.Marion Boddy-Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492298393921353238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024976412054322596.post-32610822329344755482010-09-13T15:04:09.668-04:002010-09-13T15:04:09.668-04:00I think a lot of it is lack of training.

To me it's like someone liking a 4'x4' section of my painting..making a copy of that section and recreating it within their artwork..I would definitely not like it ..even if 90% of the work is theirs...artistverliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424520740774463611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024976412054322596.post-39430977823528402752010-09-12T22:29:48.791-04:002010-09-12T22:29:48.791-04:00I would love to hear your take on this, or your qu...I would love to hear your take on this, or your questions.Starrpointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544531971211521686noreply@blogger.com
