The Proper Way To Copyright Visual Arts
If you are trying to register any type of visual arts you should follow the copyright process as explained here. Visual arts can generally be described as any pictorial, graphic, sculptural or architectural works. Including 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional fine, graphic and applied art. There are some architectural works that fall under visual arts, and depending on the medium of the art there may be parts of the exhibition that are not copyright protected. This includes pieces of art that may include working or moving parts or pre-existing parts such as furniture, clothing or machinery. Other works that fall under visual arts may include.....
· Three-Dimensional Works.
· Sculpture http://www.copyright.gov/register/va-sculpture2-3d.html; (for example: doll) in a box with copyrightable pictorial and/or textual material; claim in sculpture and artwork/text, oversize material http://www.copyright.gov/register/va-oversize.html>; (exceeding 96" in any dimension).
· Architectural Works include either unconstructed building http://www.copyright.gov/register/va-arch-uncon.html;s or constructed building http://www.copyright.gov/register/va-arch-con.html;s. The second step is to put together a package including either a form VA, a check for $30 made out to the "Register of Copyrights" and a non-returnable copy of the materials that are being registered. The form VA can be obtained at the copyright offices website at www.copyright.gov http://www.copyright.gov; under the visual arts tab. Depending on what medium your work is there are different requirements for the deposit materials. Obviously if you are registering a building they will accept a photograph of the building but they may also require drawings, plans or other supplemental material. You should research the particular medium that you are trying to register at the copyright listed above. Brian Johansson
