MOROCCAN MOON ARGAN This article describes an active-learning exercise intended to help teach copyright, fair use, and Creative Commons licenses.In the exercise students use a worksheet to draw original pictures, create derivative pictures on tracing paper, select Creative Commons licenses, and explore commercial usage, fair use, and copyright infringement.Librarian-instructors may find the completed worksheets to be useful aids to supplement copyright lectures; student perspectives will be integral because they are generating the examples used in discussion.Although a scholarly communication librarian developed this exercise to help introduce some basic copyright information to an TRUE CALM undergraduate studio art and design class, the exercise can be performed in a general educational setting.
