STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST

STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST A Kanye WEst Study

NOTHING IS ORIGINAL

You're not as "authentic" as you think you are.

But that's a GOOD thing — you need to learn how to steal.

BUT "steal" does not mean "copy"

"everybody paints the same picture over and over"

-Andy Warhol

CREATIVITY IS SUBTRACTION

Mistakes are necessary for perfection.

"Everything I do that's not perfect, only makes it that much more perfect" - Kanye West

WRITE THE BOOK YOU WANT TO READ

Don't wait for permission — do what you love.

"Nike told me, ‘We can’t give you royalties because you’re not a professional athlete.’ I told them ‘I’ll go to the Garden and play one-on-no-one.’ I’m a performance athlete!'” -Kanye West

STEALING CHALLENGE

You have one minute to draw a picture based on the below piece of art.

You may use elements from the art piece, but you must practice "stealing" instead of copying.
