The video I watched was Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon. I think the part that stuck out to me the most was that the transformation of the ideas is the important part when it comes to "stealing" art; the way that you synthesize all the ideas and works that already exist in the world and turn them into something unique is what matters. There have been billions of people in the world, and it's nearly impossible at this point to come up with an idea that another person hasn't already in someway utilized. That's not a bad thing however, because that gives you the opportunity to take that idea and run with it, to combine it with all these other ideas and create something new, that hopefully inspires something else. Of course this way of thinking isn't limited to artists, but every single person in the world that wants to develop something of their own.
I think the first slide violates copyright because it looks like the student used more than 80% of the original artwork, nearly everything in the picture is the exact same. Since it uses what looks like more than 80% of another work, it is illegal because it violates fair use: even if they are not profiting off of it, they still did not change the original piece enough to make it their own.
The second slide does not violate copyright because even though the basic pose and body is the same, the student changed enough things around and added their own ideas so that they are two different, distinguishable pieces. As long as they aren't trying to make money off of the picture, I don't think it violates fair use.

I chose challenge #2: Remix a Character and decided to turn Hatsune Miku (an anime character) into Rosie the Riveter. I used pieces from the character's original outfit as well as her defining feature (her teal pigtails) and replaced some with the clothes Rosie wears: the headscarf and blue shirt.
