Art Theory: On Painting, Architecture, and Visual Media: Including Creative Inspiration and Survival Techniques for Artists

By Steven Yessick

This book is the result of having collected ideas in a running list for years on end. The list kept on growing when new interpretations of these same ideas were added to the list over time. Through a careful consideration of a number of distinct design and painting ideas, a wide spectrum of elaboration has been the result. The format provided here presents the reader with an intelligent portrayal of a nearly infinite range of creative possibilities. In creative problem solving, which is crucial to the platform of design, there is always an unlimited number of solutions to every question that is asked. It is the job of a true artist to bring forth the most highly desired solution possible.

The wording of the essays at the beginning of this unique take on art theory have been meticulously crafted to provide a thrilling reading experience intended to encourage enthusiasm, inspiration, and a feeling of excitement about possessing a creative purpose in life. These initial writings are derived from an in-depth exploration of the many facets involved in being one who is heavily involved in creating both beauty and meaning through the creation of artworks. Reasonable explanations, practical advice, and insightful tips on things that you could do now to improve your own artwork are also included and incorporated within the text. Artists and designers who read this book are encouraged to utilize any information from within these pages to thereby improve their own creative approaches or overall outlook on art itself.

Also included within this second edition are ten principles to consider for prolonging your survival on this planet as a creative individual. My Ninja Rules are guidelines for living life that apply to nearly everyone, artists especially. I wrote them out of my own desire to see the sun come up every day for as long as humanly possible, too.

If you paint, I want to help you create something so original, that nothing like it has ever been seen or has even ever been imagined before. Having unlimited possibilities for creative inventiveness is the key to driving your success as an artist. It also keeps you motivated to know that you are doing something that no one has ever done before.

This book also contains a list of 500 different ideas drawn out, which I call an Inventory of form.

Evolving as an artist means knowing what facets of your work are the most desirable. Perhaps you might create a truly original form of artwork that elicits a desire in others to invest in your work. Your success will have then increased since your work is in high demand. My intent for this book is simply to help you and other creative people evolve, grow, and flourish in their art through the discovery of a true originality with this book. Get a copy
