Consent is really important when using other artists' work for Year 9 art projects. There are a few challenges to keep in mind:

1. Copyright Issues:

   • Many artists have rights to their own work, which means you need permission to use it.
   • If you don’t get permission, it could lead to legal problems, like fines or getting your project canceled.

2. Ethical Considerations:

   • Using someone else's artwork without asking can be disrespectful.
   • It doesn’t honor the hard work and creativity of the original artist.

3. Finding Artist's Contact Info:

   • Figuring out who owns a piece of art and how to contact them can take a lot of time.
   • Sometimes, artists might not reply, which makes it even harder.

Possible Solutions:

• Educate Students: Teach everyone about copyright laws and why getting consent is important.
• Use Open Resources: Encourage students to use artwork that is free for everyone, like something in the public domain or with Creative Commons licenses.
• Reach Out Early: Start contacting artists as soon as possible. This way, you won’t have any last-minute problems.
