    Hope Poster In 2008, Graphic artist Shepard Fairey released a poster of newly elected President Barak Obama.
     
    Shortly thereafter, Fairey was sued by an Associated Press photographer for copyright infringement.
     
    The resulting legal proceedings against Fairey demonstrate how quickly simple matters can spin out of control. Read more about this issue of copyright infringement here

Welcome to the Visual Arts Mac Lab

All of us, staff and students alike, are very fortunate to have the opportunity to teach and learn 21st
century life skills in a well maintained computer lab. We ask that you please take care of, and respect, the
equipment, and technology provided by our school and board of education.


The following rules and guidelines are meant to ensure a quality learning and creative environment.


1. Please leave the design lab the way that you found it. If you bring it in, please take it with you.

2. NO FOOD AND DRINK in the lab. You are not allowed to bring a box lunch into the lab. If you do
not have a lunch period, you will need to eat in a different class.

3. Computer and internet access is intended for educational purposes only. Please do not play
games, stream music, videos, etc., unless otherwise allowed by your instructor.

4. Using computers for unauthorized purposes will result in a minimum of one hour of detention.

Computer Settings

Lab computers are the property of the Davidson Fine Arts Visual Art Department and are maintained by the visual arts teachers. It is strictly forbidden to change any computer setting without permission from your instructor. This includes adding, deleting, and/or changing software, hardware, icons, shortcuts, and desktop backgrounds. Breaking this rule will result in a minimum of one hour of detention. 

File Storage

Throughout this course, you will create a variety of file types. It is your responsibility to store your work in a secure location. Classroom computers available to the entire school are not considered secure storage
locations. I highly recommend that you store your work on a flash drive or using your Office 365 OneDrive storage service.


Every time you create a new file for this class, the file should be located under your student folder and the file name should look like the following:

LastName_FirstInitial_ProjectName. (ex.Mogianesi_C_ElementsDesign)


Under no circumstances are you to save files on the desktop of any computer. Any files stored on the
desktop will be deleted at the end of the day by the instructor or by DeepFreeze software. If you must
save a file on the computer, the only safe location is under “Documents” inside a folder labeled with your
name.

  • Losing a file is not considered an excuse for not turning in assigned projects.
  • School Cameras and Storage Devices (flash drives, SD cards, etc.)
    • If you are using a school-supplied storage device or camera, it is very important that you move any files from devices at the end of each period or the end of the day so that your work is not deleted and others may use the device.
    • YEARBOOK: ANY IMAGES TAKEN DURING THE DAY MUST BE UPLOADED TO YEARBOOKAVENUE AT THE END OF 7TH PERIOD. IMAGES MUST BE CATEGORIZED AS THEY ARE UPLOADED.
