Following peer review, the paper is judged not to be acceptable for publication in TAMA Journal of Visual Arts and resubmission is not possible.
Resubmit for Review
The submitted version of the paper is not acceptable and requires major revision, but there is clear potential in the work, and TAMA Journal of Visual Arts is prepared to consider a new version. Authors are offered the opportunity to resubmit their paper as a new submission.

Authors are asked to modify their manuscript in light of comments received from referees and editors and to submit a new version for consideration within 2 weeks of receiving the decision letter. A point-by-point explanation of how comments have been addressed must be supplied with the revised version of the paper.
