Hello!

I have a question regarding copyright and teaching. Based on the little research I've done, my understanding is that copyright doesn't apply to ideas themselves but rather to writing/ images ect. that convey said ideas.

This is probably a silly question, please bear with me I'm just going into my second year teaching. Am I correct that it's fine to make my own handouts that show concepts that I've learned through books and online research...for example head construction after Andrew Loomis or using the system of cranial units developed by Robert Beverly Hale to measure human proportions? I like to draw my own handouts with exactly what I want to teach my students and convert them into PDFs to post on Google Classroom. I'm wondering if in the future I'd want to make the resources I develop online free for other teachers, either through PDFs, Youtube videos ect...is it fine to incorporate concepts/ processes developed by other artists?

Thank you!
