<p>While teaching in the early 90s, I began to see students appropriating images into their class projects and it irked me. What had started as clip art and Victorian scrap usage, turned into everything printed up for grabs. It seemed a crutch for many that couldn't draw. It has become a way of life and Art, unstoppable even by copyright laws and part of the mainstream visual. It's always okay, unless it's my art being appropriated!</p>
