Jennifer --

From my earlier message: "And does 8.1 permit, for example, the drawing of moustaches on portraits of women if the adaptation fits the parameters of a course assignment?"

And your reply: "It does permit annotations and alterations, such as sketching compositional or perspective lines overtop of an image, or manipulating colour to compare two states of a print. "Drawing moustaches" moves into the question of "Moral Rights' of the artist whose work is represented in the image."

Question: According to 8.1 we must endeavour to protect moral rights.  However the AMICO agreement clearly states
in 7.1 that AMICO images may be used for student assignments, and 8.1, in addition to referring to moral rights, states that works can be altered, added to, manipulated and modified. The original question was asked primarily with respect to computer-based art and design studio courses. Is it AMICO's intention that images from the AMICO Library not be adapted ("Photoshopped") by students for use as component parts in creative works, for course assignments? Thanks.
