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.

Gideon Nel worked as a TV commercials Director for 35 years. Gideon's art reflects this strongly.

Mc Vulture is another story board of the series of 10, with a similar problem. The father is home alone with the children, he is feeling suicidal...The solution is at hand; McVulture is a fun filled fast food outlet that serves burgers with beef from the jungles of the Amazon and their servers all wear hats that will make the children laugh.
Enjoy!.
