The words I used are imaginative, confident, creative, unique, and passion.

This collage is considered are because I, the creator, have the intention of this being looked at and viewed with intensity. “Art is not confined to a small coterie of geniuses, visionaries, cranks, and charlatans-indistinguishable from one another-but is instead a fundamental human species characteristic that demands and deserves to be promoted and nourished”(26). Art is just not limited to painting and pictures, it can also be food. I like how Dissanayake said the phrase making things special. By using that phrase, it doesn’t limit art to a certain group. It shows how anything can be art as you the person decides what you want to make special. “Transforming the ordinary into the exta-ordinary. Looked at this way, art as making the things one cares about special, shaping and elaborating the ordinary to make it more than ordinary, is fundamental to everyone and, as in traditional societies deserves to be acknowledged as normal-to be encouraged and developed”(25).

I believe that copyright could be dangerous in the future. With Youtube as one of the most popular websites in the world, where a person can post a video of whatever they want. There are many channels that have millions of subscribers that post parody’s or remixes of other artists’s songs. I believe this to be really creative and not copyright at all. I also think that when you use someone else song over a video you created to not be copyright also. I feel as that would put many limitations on making a creative montage. When I agree copyright should come to play is if you want to use a producers beat for your own lyrics you made. You need to get permission from the producer or artist to do that and give them some royalties. Many artists do this all the time and put the songs on mixtapes for free for the public to have. I find remixed songs really creative and sometimes better than the original. Here’s an example: This is the original, and this is the remix. Here is an example of a creative parody. I really like this quote from the reading, it says, “But anyone who thinks remixes or mash ups are neither original or creative has very little idea about how they are made or what makes them great. It takes extraordinary knowledge about a culture to remix it well. The artist or student training to do it well learns far more about his past than one committed to this view about original creativity. And perhaps more important, the audience is constantly looking for more as the audience reads what the remixer has written”(93). The only role copyright plays is to protect people from other people using their creation to make money from it. The way they should address this issue is to not make it apply to people trying to make their own creative videos on youtube. If with fair judgement people are doing their fair share of original content, then they should be fine. Like I said earlier, if artists are remixing songs to distribute to people, then they should get permission. I believe copyrights should be limited and have different restrictions for websites like Youtube.
