'good artists borrow, great artists steal' - St Marylebone School

Artist appropriation:
project development and artist development writing
• Take inspiration from your artists and steal – don’t just
borrow from their works and ideas.
• Write about and illustrate the ideas, motifs,
techniques etc you find inspiring in your artists’ work
and explain how you’re going to incorporate these
into your work in your artist development writing.
• Ensure you take the concept a step further – there’s no
point in copying something – do something different
with it – take it somewhere else – DEVELOP your ideas
– steal them and make them yours by embedding them
into your work.
