not just fine art

Watermarking

-Corpyright-

The Copyright act gives the creators of musical, artistic or literary work the right to choose how their material can be used. The rights cover; copying/adapting, renting/lending, broadcasting  and public performances. The creator can also have the right to be identified as the author.

Copyright is used when an individual or organisation creates a piece of work, and applies to pieces regarded as an original.

The act refers to the creation of the piece, rather than the idea behind the piece. For example the idea for a book would not be protected, but the actual content of the book written would be. In short, someone is entitled to create their own book/piece with the same idea or concept, but can not directly copy or adapt the original.

Short phrases, titles, and names are not normally covered as they are not considered unique or adequate, but a creation like a logo which combines things and is unique could be, as with artwork.

Normally an individual will own the rights, but if the work is completed as part of employment, the work belongs to the body that hired the individual. For freelance or commissioned work rights will usually belong to the creator unless there is an arrangement to change the owner.

Pitt Rivers - Final Outcome

Based on my research into the African Tribal masks at Pitt Rivers - showing my research into the ideas of symbolising. I have decided to have my mask be a display piece, which symbolises the idea of a Wise Woman.

The design has a large head to emphasise it is full of knowledge, aswell as a large eye in the center of the forehead; symbolising a being that sees all. The composition is very open, giving a sense of invitation and comfort, and all decoration and detailed design is concentrated above the brow of the mask, emphasising the importance of the large knowledge filled head, which does not need a detailed face to serve its symbolic purpose. Though the overall design is kept rather simple, as any other components would defer the viewer from the purpose of the mask.

Pitt Rivers - Final Trials

Here I have used previously thought of relevant techniques and tested how they work with 3D models.

I found the paper mache material looks good, but is too flimsy and does not work well in a bigger scale

Explore artefacts found at the Pitt Rivers museum and decide a subject to research and develop further

I have chosen to focus on tribal masks, and their properties and purposes - conveying emotion, symbolism and how the masks were used.
