Intellectual Property laws are very important because they encourage the spread of a more variety of goods instead of the same thing over and over. They're also important in protecting an artists rights to their work. This also includes making sure that people have to get permission to use your work so that it doesn't get stolen (such as copyright laws making it illegal to remove the watermark/logo). This relates to digital art especially because digitally, it's much easier for people to steal and not credit artists. It's also important to this class, because it's very important to use stuff from royalty free sites only, because a lot of legal trouble can come from not. We have to find and use a lot of images, videos, and sounds, so that directly relates.
Reflection
In this unit, I learned a lot about the future projects we were doing, and what some important rules were to cover before starting to create. Especially the importance of intellectual property laws and how much they can actually affect you. In spark posts, we used royalty free images and credited our sources to learn and get into the rhythm of crediting people. Also, at the start of this unit, we got to choose one of the future topics and learn a bit more about it before we actually started doing it later in the year.
