Jeremy thanks for posting. Elizabeth came and talked to my 604 class. I purchased her book, Art Law Conversations. I haven't had the chance to read it yet with school, but it is suppose to be an easy read about copyright and other law issues for art. Anyone that is going to move on with their art should try to make her lecture. She breaks down law for ease of artists. If you can't make it to the talk pick up the book at a bookstore. Some topics discussed in there is

Who owns the rights of your photographs?

Copyright-your right, & using others work in yours?

trademark basics

source material

and so much more. I just wanted to let everyone know that any of these workshops would be great to go. Maybe we could all go as a group.

Good suggestion Amanda! These are good topics that don't ever really get covered in school.

I've got to study up on that kind of thing as well.

It's difficult to believe that a staff member of a publication like the Shepherd Express can offer serious guidance on how to write professionally.
