To address this situation, wikiArS proposed having art students create portraits of 20th-century figures and make them freely available for use on Wikipedia. This task posed quite a challenge: the student would not be able to see the subject in person and would instead need to rely on photos and video recordings. However, it was also essential that the portrait not be considered a derivative work of any copyrighted documentation sources. Additionally, the portrait would obviously need to resemble the person in question. In short, the students would need to begin by making multiple sketches of the subject until they managed to capture his or her distinctive features. Only then would they be able to create a portrait that was not based on any existing image.
