My definition of stealing in the artist world is taking someone else's artwork and making it your own by adding other aspects to it; my definition of copying is just outright doing the same exact artwork as someone else has done with no alterations. For my final project, I drew a big Starbucks coffee cup on a piece of art board. Since the project was artist steal, I copied a picture of a Starbucks cup off of Google. Next, to make it my own, i decided for the logo on the cup, instead of the Starbucks mermaid being in the middle of the logo, i would put Ariel from Little Mermaid there instead. Then I painted it with acrylic and sponged the background brown to make it look like coffee beans. I really enjoyed making this project, however I feel like if I had done it on canvas it would have come out better; the canvas like board i was using was very hard to blend colors on and ad depth to. I would definitely do this project again.
