Reading and understanding a text

The designer as author is the article i choose to read and understand.

The word "Authorship" is mentioned to be used as a popular term that artists are using to establish that they are the author of what they draw but it is not necessarily true in terms of the inspirations that had an effect on the artist whilst drawing, although the artist drew it themselves with skills hes learnt from previous drawings could it possibly be claimed that its his drawing of improvement from his previous drawing. In conclusion is there a true author for art and design? same goes for an author of a book using words that could have been inspired by many others which questions is their an original idea for anything or are we just always being inspired.

In connection to the word "Author" it is defined as someone bringing something into existence which has not previously existed. This implies to define as making an original idea which is rare to see in our life time because everyone is either being influence or copying things that already exist. To add to this we can say that everyone is an author of the hard work they have done but not the true author of the idea because these ideas already exist as said in the article, this concludes that we can become close to being the author because of the effort we put into making this drawing in terms of arts and design, but we cannot be the true author of the idea we used in order to create this drawing.

I've gone over the 250 word limit but I've explained a few key points that I've tried to understand in the article i read and hopefully questioned what a "author" means in terms of art and design. although i only used the first few quotes that were definitions that did not have any reference to any book or website meaning i could not Harvard reference these quotes, although they are from the article written above.
