Stealing and copying are very different. When someone copies something they are taking someone else works replicating it the exact same. When an artist steals they are taking someone else work and then making it their own and using it as inspiration. In my character remix project i took a picture of Simba that already existed and then changed up the color combination.
The final project for this unit was to combine things that already exist. I decided to combine a roll of paper towels and a cup, thus making the paper towel cup. The idea behind this creation was to create a cup that can clean up its own messes. The cup consist of a roll of paper towels, plastic, and foam. The plastic and foam go inside of the roll of paper towels to keep any liquid from seeping out. Overall i had a bunch of fun doing this project.
