If an artist copies illustrations from a book, that would be a violation of the copyright. If an artist creates his own vision of what the characters looked like based on the text, that would not be a violation of copyright. Copyright generally lasts the life of the author plus 50 years so some older works could be in the "public domain." However, if a publisher reissues the work, then the copyright may be renewed. A good site for a basic understanding of copyright is Brad Templeton's "A Brief Intro to Copyright" at http://www.templetons.com/brad/copyright.html The right thing to do is to write to each publisher and request permission to use the illustration in your classroom. This is time-consuming and some publishers will say Yes, some will say No, some will ask for payment. A student who is planning to become a professional artist should have some concept of these copyright issues and may even know how to "clear copyright."
