Appropriation vs plagiarism

In my own words, appropriation is where you take someone else’s work but tweak it in your own unique way. for example, you can add color if it’s black and white or add things to make it a whole different meaning. You give them credit and let any spectators know that the original work is from that artist. Appropriation can be considered plagiarism when no credit is given or barely anything is tweaked, making it still look like the original artwork. When you do not let your spectators know that the original was not your idea, you most likely will get sued.
