As Dan has correctly pointed out, you can only hope to make stealing your content "less convenient", though only marginally so. If you display a picture on my browser, all I have to do to steal it is hit my "Print Screen" button, then paste it into PhotoShop. There are any number of other ways to get it too. My guess is that Visual Arts students will be pretty good at manipulating images on a computer, and that, unfortunately, you will not be able to thwart a determined content thief.
