Appropriation is when an artist borrows elements from another artwork or culture to create something new. It's like taking different ingredients from various recipes to make a unique dish.
Think of appropriation as creating a collage with images cut out from different magazines. Each image brings its own meaning, but together they form a new composition.
Remixing: Taking existing music or art pieces and altering them to create something fresh and unique.
Cultural Exchange: The sharing of ideas, customs, and traditions between different cultures.
Homage: Paying tribute to an artist or artwork by incorporating elements of their style into one's own work.
