<p class="MsoNormal">My students are creating artwork for the library. Two of the student groups want to use cartoon characters within their pieces. These are not being sold, they aren’t being paid, the pictures will just be displayed in the IMC. They groups
have even gone as far to say they will create citations for the images on the back of the canvases to give credit to the original artists.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know what to say to them. Can they use the characters in their art?
