Typically, permission from the author or artist is always required prior to any publication in any format. Because this assignment is designed for educational purposes, consideration for borrowing materials to demonstrate knowledge is an accepted format for use of these art works in many cases. Materials published prior to 1979 are considered to be in Public Domain and allowable for publication, unless otherwise noted. However, it is advisable to cite anything questionable if publishing a personal blog or in any project for your best protection.
