His teacher was livid, because in her words, "he hadn't paid his dues." I think she's off her meds. I'm only happy for whatever success my students are able to attain.

First of all, that teacher needs to quit us...Yeah. First of all, that teacher needs to quit using the word "plagiarism" so loosely. "To make a print in the style of" doesn't even come close to meeting the standard for plagiarism, which anyway is a predominantly literary crime. (In fact, I'm not sure what the equivalent of plagiarism would even be in the visual arts.) It's also a serious ethical and legal accusation, and I hope word gets around that this is how this artist feels about her students, because she shouldn't be teaching.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813880900426408517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603688707055036302.post-76911723721651076962017-02-14T07:22:47.822-08:002017-02-14T07:22:47.822-08:00Thank you Gayle!

I believe the printmaker who had issues is in the minority. At least I hope so! I have read Austin Kelon's book, in fact I met him at a book signing. It's a very good book and you are right, every artist should read it.

I read online something similar to what you described (perhaps it was the from the same complainant) and it did trouble me. You so eloquently put in words the feelings I had. A few years ago I watched the documentary "Everything is a Remix"; it was quite an eye opener. Here's the link, in case you haven't seen it: https://vimeo.com/139094998 I'm sure you are familiar with Austin Kleon's wonderful book: "Steal Like An Artist". Every artist needs to read it! There's a great quote by Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." We are all part of a continuum of "remix", not just intellectually, but it's the very essence of our genetic make-up. The total monopolizing of ideas will eventually impede the flow of creativity from nourishing future generations. You are a wonderful and generous teacher. Thank you!
