Navigating Copyright - Fair Use Act In our work, we often find re-

sources that are “perfect” and

would offer some valuable learn-

ing opportunities for our students.

We then come to the question on can I use

this resource, how do I properly cite it, and

what do I need to know about the proper

use of materials that someone else has cre-

ated. All of these questions point to copy-

right, an important issue that should be a

part of our thoughts for resource use. Copy-

right often causes some uncertainty of fair

use and in how to provide the creators of

these materials with the proper recognition

and sometimes compensation for their work.

Educators can point to “fair use.” Be careful

not to stretch this into something beyond it’s

intention of education versus entertainment.

Fair Use is: “a legal doctrine that promotes

freedom of expression by permitting the

unlicensed use of copyright-protected works

in certain circumstances (Section 107 of the

Copyright Act).” The Fair Use Act identifies

types of activities such as: criticism, com-

ment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship,

and research which qualify as fair use. Users

of the Fair Use Act such as teachers and

their students “can legally use music, web-

sites, video, print, images, and the whole

realm of copyrighted materials for the pur-

poses of teaching“ (United States Copyright

Office). Check the four factors which identify

specifically the proper use of these materials

relating to the Fair Use Act.

Another place to visit for information about

copyright is, Copyright for Educators, a PBS

online series. This site provides fair use in-

formation, checklists for teachers and admin-

istrators, a set of scenarios, and videos fo-

cused on classroom resource use. In the arts

specifically, we find value in pulling in exem-

plary artifacts which students can discuss, be

inspired by, and learn from. Be mindful of

how to use these resources, what the pa-

rameters of the “Fair Use Act” are, and the

example you are offering students through

your work in sharing. Page 4 has articles and

videos to visit to help you in this topic. Be

aware of the challenges of use, copying ma-

terials, and the dilemmas of a limited budget

which might offer temptations for improper

use of materials. Keep your school leaders

apprised of what resources are available and

what is required to properly acquire them for

classroom use. Check your

school district policies about

copyrighted materials. Thank

you for your work in arts edu-

cation. -Julie

The National Coalition for

Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) and SEADAE launched the standards in June 2014. Wisconsin has

not adopted these standards at this time. However, please review the standards in the areas of art, dance,

media arts, music, and theatre, visit http://

www.nationalartsstandards.org/. The current Wiscon-sin Academic Learning Standards are online at: Art and

Design Education, Dance Education, Music Education, and Theatre Education. Districts are free to con-

sider the new standards in their work if they choose.

ter issues 2012-13 #7 & #8. Each month a DL tool will

Disciplinary Literacy - Arts

Tip Sheet

Writing in the arts involves composing and arranging

music, creating images to convey a message, arranging a sequence of movement in choreography, and plotting out the blocking of a play in theatre. These are just a few ways “artists” write. Here are some other ways “artists” write. They create:
