What is the difference between getting "inspiration" from another piece and "stealing" an idea?
The difference from "stealing" and getting "inspiration" is when you are inspired you appreciate and acknowledge the artists original work. By becoming inspired by an artist you can show that specific artist that you respect their work and ideas as well as admire them.
Is it okay to use part of an idea or part of another picture in your piece if you change something or give credit to the original source?
Yes, its fine to use a piece of another artists work,but you must say, "inspired by.."or "originally done by..", by adding these things the original artist gets credit, as well you show respect for artists works and ideas.
Final piece
Why did you combine the pieces you did?
I combined a turtle and the globe. I combined these two elements because they are similar in shape and color with greens and blues. I also really enjoyed mixing the two objects that are extremely different in size with the globe being huge, and a turtle being fairly small the juxtaposition gives off an interesting final concept for the piece.
Why did you pick this medium? Was it because you enjoy working with it? Or was it to match your idea?
I picked water color for two reasons, I first picked water colors because i really enjoy working with this medium and learning how to use it. I also picked this medium because it gives off a natural feel and with such a natural/ environmental topic of a piece the water color highlights that.
If you were to change ONE thing about your piece what would it be?
If i could change one thing i would change the grass, going back I would have used more variations of dark green to add more depth the the piece.
What is the most successful thing about your art piece?
The most successful thing about my piece is the mixing of turtle and globe. By fading blues colors into green hues, the transition turned out really interesting. I am overall very happy with the piece and how it turned out.
