How would copyrights, trademarks and patents apply to you and your practices?
       Copyrights are for "fixed" work of art in a tangible medium, such as paintings, sculptures, etc. Copyrights allow for visual artists to have the originality of our work. Trademarks could be important for our practice if we have a logo or symbol that we use to represent our work. Patents don't really apply to visual artists because its specifically for inventors. 

What is important to know about “art for hire” and its legal rights?
     It has to fall within the section 101 of the statute and if there is a specific agreement between the two parties

What is an advantage to using creative commons?
