By Thursday, spend 2-4 minutes drawing your favorite animal(s) (or make one up!) using any paint or drawing program. (If you need a free one, try GIMP) Save your creation as an image file (.jpeg, .png, etc.). Remember, this is your intellectual property that you’re creating! Once you put pen to paper (or digital ink to screen…), it’s automatically protected under the U.S. Copyright Act. Use theCC license creator to select an open license of your choice for your new creation, or, if you would rather keep standard copyright protection, that is fine too!
By Thursday, add a new slide here and insert your favorite animal drawing as an image on your slide. You should have already used the CC license creator to help you select an open license for your new creation: next, use the Attribution Builder to create an attribution for your image. Copy and paste the attribution at the bottom of your slide. You can look at my slide for an example (“It’s a (Creepy) Party!”). If you decide that you don’t want to openly-license your animal image and keep it under traditional copyright, you don’t have to add the attribution, however, you do need to include a “By (your name/pseudonym here)” so I know your intention for the purposes of this exercise.
In the comment box of your slide, write a brief explanation of what license you selected, why, and what others may or may not do with your work under the license agreement. If you chose to keep copyright, explain what others cannot do without your permission.
