“Art is Theft” – Pablo Picasso

Picasso Painting

The journal I’m reading highlights the artist’s way of looking at the world as though always “casing the joint”, finding inspiration everywhere, using ideas from unlikely places, and creating new art from all those great ingredients.

Today’s activities ask me to make 8 captions for a triangle.     triangle

  1. Recycle     recycle symbol
  2. Ancient Egypt    pyramid
  3. Mountain climbing  mountain climbing
  4. Black Diamond Ski Trail  black diamond
  5. Balance  balance
  6. Treasure  treasure pyramid
  7. Omniscience  all seeing eye
  8. Salt  ssalt

I’m not sure the real purpose of this exercise, except to maybe get the brain thinking a bit more globally, but there it is.  Tomorrow is circles.  By the way, I thought of the words, then went and found images for them afterwards.  I don’t think it would be cheating, though, to scroll through images for ideas, especially since this whole book is about stealing for artistic use.
