Guidelines for Judging Originality
See page 11 of your directory for full copy. A work is valued
the most when it expresses your own ideas. Technique and
skill are not always the primary ingredient in a juror’s judgement of work that is acceptable for an exhibit.
Painting from Photographs—they should be your own original photos and not from postcards or magazines, etc. There
is a difference between using reference and copying. Painting
copies of other works of art should be considered a learning
process and these copies should not be exhibited. You
may be subject to legal action if you copy a known work of art
and sign your name to it; thereby affecting your reputation.
