2. Welcome to Copycat During this lesson we will be exploring… Image: http://thenextweb.com/au/2010/06/11/startup-lessons-learned-the-pitfalls-of-copycat-marketing/ Original and Copy

3. So lets explore what an ‘original’ looks like and what it means to ‘copy’… Image: http://onetrickyblonde.blogspot.com/2010/12/mona-lisa-distortions.htmlhttp://onetrickyblonde.blogspot.com/2010/12/mona-lisa-distortions.html

4. The word original means something that is first, something not copied from The word copy means something trying to look exactly like another Image: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/mona-lisa-copy-gayle-bell.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa Which one of these paintings is the original? Which is the copy? Why? Original Copy

5. We have seen how a painting can be copied… But what other ways can we copy?

6. This person is using her body to move like the person in front of her… Image: http://another-jiya-story.blogspot.com/2010/09/its-you-again.htmlhttp://another-jiya-story.blogspot.com/2010/09/its-you-again.html We can move like someone else…

7. Image: http://blog.pearltrees.com/?p=1450 We can pretend to sound like something else… Image: http://www.sharingnature.com/flow-learning/flow-learning-chart.phphttp://www.sharingnature.com/flow-learning/flow-learning-chart.php This girl is using a wooden call to attract small birds from the rainforest She is copying the sound of the birds chirp

8. We can dress like someone else… Image: http://www.elvis4uk.co.uk/elvis_lookalike.htmlhttp://www.elvis4uk.co.uk/elvis_lookalike.html Louis is dressed like the King of rock and roll Elvis Presley… He has copied the appearance of Elvis Presley…

9. Image: http://www.top.com/index.php?words=ps3&color=black&brand=sony http://www.la-grande-oreille.com/ http://www.fabcars.co.nz/ We can make copies of objects… Big companies make exact copies of their products… This is because many people around the world want exactly the same thing… How many of us know someone who has the same thing you have?

10. But what happens if we change or personalise something?

11. But if we personalise or change one car and make it different from the others is this still a copy? Or has it become an original? These 3 cars look exactly the same so they are copies…

12. By personalising something we can make it different or original…

13. Personalising something can reflect who you are… Because we are individual we tend to personalise things differently… This can show through some of the things we do…

14. If we all tried to paint the same thing… Image: http://www.pinestreetartworks.com/artists/?artist=paint_by_number http://fineartamerica.com/featured/mona-lisa-copy-gayle-bell.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mona_Lisa_(copy,_Thalwil,_Switzerland).JPG This is because our individuality can show through the art we make What differences between these paintings can you see? We would see differences between our paintings

15. If we were asked to make exactly the same colour… Our individuality may shine through… Image: http://blog.fashionchat.info/2007/09/28/key-colours-autumn-2007-winter-2008/http://blog.fashionchat.info/2007/09/28/key-colours-autumn-2007-winter-2008/ and we may end up with different shades of colour

16. If we were asked to all draw the same thing… Would our drawings be different or exactly the same? Do these drawings look exactly the same? Or are they slightly different? Why?

17. So copying something by hand is very difficult because our individuality sometimes shines through…

18. So ‘Original’ and ‘Copy’ can be any of these things Lets reflect on what we have learnt so far…

19. Image: http://grandcentralacademy.blogspot.com/2009/01/president-obama.html So what have we learnt so far? Copy … Can happen through body movement, sound and appearance Means something that is first and not copied from A copy can become an original if we personalise it Means making something look exactly the same as another Original…

20. Now that we have learnt about ‘orignal’ and ‘copy’, here is an exercise you can try… Using your ‘symbols’ made in the previous exercise, create drawing of one symbol Copy your drawing by doing another drawing Then swap one drawing with a classmate and copy their drawing, then swap back By the end of this exercise everyone should have 3 drawings of the same symbol Compare each drawing with one another and discuss the differences between them

21. We look forward to having you all here End of lesson Here is a glimps of the show you will see during your visit Heather Straka The Asian at Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts
