15.  Selling Artwork (completed in the Acrylic University Membership or in any other lesson    provided by Acrylic University, including the Miniature Painting Challenge or any other class).

In general: how do we differentiate between original and derivative artwork? 

1. If you create a work of art, based on an original idea, it's yours and you can do as you like with it – your original artwork can be sold or entered in competitions or displayed as yours. 
2. Derivative artwork leans heavily on someone else's work, or is heavily influenced by someone else. Artwork that is made in class and/or is clearly influenced by someone else's work should not be presented as yours. The difference isn't always clear cut, but the idea is, and if you're making art in class, you need to ask yourself the question.

Below are Acrylic University's guidelines for the work you make in the Acrylic University Membership or in any challenge (Miniature Painting Challenge, Portrait Challenge or any another lesson.) We are referring to any work you make by painting along with the teacher.

It is pro forma to acknowledge the source of your painting, either:

1. On the back of the painting - Write “Completed in class with [artist name]” OR
2. On the front - This is usually if the painting is a copy. The format is to sign it “[student name] after [name of original artist]”. 

Do NOT enter lesson paintings in competitions or put them in shows, since the reference photos, compositions, and conception are not original to you.

Keep in mind:

1. It is fine to post them online, and mention that they were completed at Acrylic University, with [artist name].
2. You may sell them privately (again, with proper acknowledgment - see notes above). Privately, for example, would be if someone came to your house or studio and saw your painting and really liked it. It would be fine to sell it to them (with proper acknowledgement.) Or you may share a painting on social media and if someone reaches out privately to ask about purchasing the painting it would be fine to sell it to them (with proper acknowledgement). Please do NOT share your paintings online with a price or in any public way with a price.
3. And of course you can use them as a SPRINGBOARD for your OWN original paintings.

You are also free to:

1. Give your paintings away to family members or friends. Please write a note on the back, "Completed in class with [artist name]." Thank you!
2. Donate them to a fundraiser. Please write a note on the back, "Completed in class with [artist name].”
3. Frame them and decorate your home. 
4. Post on social media using the hashtags #acrylicuniversity and #[artistname].
