For this week, we got to take a Virtual field trip to The National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park, England. The museum was really interesting, especially how different it was from the last museum. I enjoyed seeing the evolution of technology and the history along with it. The Color Field painters were an interesting concept, being that color itself is enough on its own. Not by trying to take you to another place or represent the outside world. It emphasised that you were looking at a painting. Then Trompe L'oeil is almost the opposite. Creating an illusion that can trick our eyes. Emphasising on depth and form to create the art. In any form of art knowing the copyright laws is extremely important. Copyright can include text, graphics, sound, video, animations, and more. It's important to always cite and or get permission. The idea of the copywrite laws was carefully made to make sure it wasn't limiting but promoting creativity. Public domain is open to anyone to be used in anyways since it is not owned by anyone. Creative Commons is a way to be able to use or upload your work to be used by others. It's a way to pay for the license of it to be shared or used. Adobe has some great resources to be able to pay for the license for any kind of project. Some grey area I've learned about through my time at Coastline is using work that you didn't get licensing for in your portfolio. While you're not using it to gain profit you're using it to get an opportunity to make a profit.
