     I was really shocked after watching this video. I really feel bad for the artist because he basically had his art stolen and used multiple times without his permission. As I was watching the video, I couldn’t believe how many times his art was used in magazines, online, and even books. If this happened to me, I would feel so depressed because knowing that many people used and sold whatever I created is just heartbreaking. Especially if my art piece is being used by huge companies that are making a whole lot of money and knowing that I won’t even have a share in the money they are making. I couldn’t find any examples of another artist that had something like this happen to them, but I know that they would also feel the same way that Noam Galai felt when he had his art stolen and used. If someone used your artwork without your permission then it is called Copyright infringement. This happens when someone wrongfully uses your artwork without your permission or does anyt...

       After learning about using deep fake technology to recreate moving portraits, I think it is a bad use of this technology because why recreate a moving portrait of your deceased family members or otherwise when you already have an actual portrait of them. Personally I think that a photo of them is enough for me because having a moving portrait is just kind of creepy and not the same as actually having them around moving. Many people would probably love to have these type of portraits in their home because they really miss their deceased family members to the point where they want to see them move again or for some other reason, but I wouldn’t like to have this type of portrait around my house because to me the technology takes away the meaning of the actual photo that was taken years ago or even decades. It will also make it feel unnatural. Having this type of portrait will also make me miss them more. At the same time it is pretty cool and how people came up w...

       After watching the videos, I caught a lot of good points. One of the many points was that photoshop isn’t always a good thing because sometimes it can really take away the meaning of the actual photo. For example one mouse click can change the colour of an image to make it look vintage or brighter. It can also be used to remove objects that you may find annoying in your photo or even combine two different photos to make one whole picture. I think that photoshop is best used for retouching photos, like removing objects that bother you such as a lamp post that is behind you or a kite that is randomly flying in the air. It also could be best used for art pieces and projects. To me I think that there is a line that you shouldn’t cross when you are photoshopping and that is going too far. For example don’t make drastic changes when you are photoshopping to the point where you or the view looks very different to how it looks in real life because you may make someone...

Covid-19 has impacted many people since it first made it's way to Canada. It has impacted many families especially during the lockdown. However at the same time it has also brought a positive side to families. Image:  Global News A Toronto family, known as the Barone-Nelson family, has spent the last seven months together. They have cooked together, hiked, and even raised ducklings together. The family says that the pandemic had strengthened their relationship (Global News). Barone said that “Being locked up or cooped up with each other for a long time, I think it made us realize what our strengths are and what our weaknesses are in each other. And we just learned to support one another in that way.”  This shows that the pandemic has brought families together, which is pretty accurate for me in my life because ever since the pandemic I have also been cooped up in my house with both of my siblings. I am always the one that is watching my siblings and feeding them during and in ...
