<p>The College Board is vague in the studio art course description. It doesn’t say whether or not photos can be used for 2D art. I can’t download the .pdf file for the course on my computer. The only mention of photos in the online summary is this: </p>
<p>If you submit work that makes use of photographs, published images, and/or other artists’ works, you must show substantial and significant development beyond duplication. This may be demonstrated through manipulation of the formal qualities, design, and/or concept of the original work. It is unethical, constitutes plagiarism, and often violates copyright law to simply copy an image (even in another medium) that was made by someone else.</p>
<p>I presume that they didn’t mean to include originals in that description.
So, provided I can submit photos for Studio Art: 2D - several of my photos that I would consider using have received a fair amount of circulation on the internet. It’d be irritating to be accused of plagiarism if the college board thought I stole them off some photo site. Any idea how to deal with that?</p>
