Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

A Celebration Shouldn’t End in a Death Sentence.
Every year, universities and event organizers release white doves into the air as a symbol of peace, freedom, and achievement. But behind the illusion of beauty lies a cruel and avoidable truth: these birds are domesticated and unequipped for survival in the wild.
They are not symbols. They are sentient beings.
Doves used in releases do not magically return home. Most are not homing pigeons. They are left to face a world they cannot survive in—killed by predators, dying slowly from starvation, dehydration, or injury.
Graduating should mark a new beginning, not the end of innocent lives.
Releasing doves is not a celebration. It’s a practice steeped in suffering, ignorance, and disregard for the very peace these birds are meant to represent. Choosing to release them is choosing to abandon them to a certain death.
This is not tradition, it is animal abuse.
This is not honor, it is harm.
We urge universities to set a higher example for their graduates: celebrate responsibly, ethically, and with compassion. There are countless ways to honor achievements that do not involve cruelty or death.

Say no to dove releases.
Say yes to life, respect, and real peace.
