A Proposed Conception to Raise Awareness towards Intellectual Property Rights of Fine Art
Abstract:
The study aims to identify visual art students' awareness of intellectual property rights of fine art at Taibah University using a descriptive-analytical approach. The study sample included undergraduate students of the visual art department at Taibah University of the year 1442H, who were (83) students. To achieve the aims of the study, the researcher used a survey consisting of (19) statements based on two prospectives. First, regarding the importance of intellectual property rights from students' point of view. Second the occurrence of fine art obstacles due to intellectual property rights implementation. Study results reveal a strong and positive response toward the two perspectives in which students emphasized the importance of intellectual property rights ensuring the quality of artwork production. On the other hand, the students also emphasized the negative impact of not implementing intellectual property rights from their point of view. Based on the results, the researcher developed a vision towards rasing awareness of intellectual property rights of fine art among visual art students at Taibah University, hence, supporting the continuation of promoting new impacts protecting their intellectual property rights in art.
