Improvisation
• Can be defined as doing
something without prior
preparation.
• There is a decision to act upon
something that may not
necessarily be planned.
Improvisation
• Some would say that it is a
reaction against the stiffness in
the arts during the twentieth
century, because it blurs the line
of reality and that origin of that
imagination.
Improvisation
• Infusing spontaneity and
improvisation adds up to the
totality of the work of art.
• It allows the artist to explore and
think about how the audience
can actually be a part of the work
in itself.
Appropriation
• The practice of using pre-existing
objects and images in an artwork
without really altering the
originals.

• Traditionally, forgery can be
classified into 2 forms: outright
copies of existing works and
pastiches, which are works that
bring together elements from a
work and infusing them to a new
work.

• The intentions of the appropriation
artist are often questioned since
issues of plagiarism or forgery
sometimes arise, because some
would argue that the reason behind
this is that they want the audience to
recognize the images they copied.
