“I started to write a series of fantasy novels when I was eleven. I have never taken anything artistic as seriously; since then, writing has felt like an attempt to get back there, to my bedroom, my maps, those races and languages and runes.” WritingLanguageFeltRaceFantasyNovelTakenSeriesArtisticMapsGet BackBedroomElevenRunesFantasy Novels Author:Ken Baumann
“The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world ofits own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.” WorldWayHumanityChoicesImaginationCommonCreativityNovelSubjectsCreationPaintingGeniusExerciseIntellectArtisticAtmosphereRejoiceUnlimitedImaginativeTransformingTransmitConceivingArtistic GeniusPainting And Poetry Book:The Renaissance Source: The Renaissance

“I don't make movies. I don't feel that I have to have artistic control. Part of this comes from the fact that the book lives on no matter what Hollywood does to your novel in terms of a film. Now, you try to be careful who you allow to do your film because nobody wants their novel to become a turkey movie. But, on the other hand, it is a crapshot anyway, because even the best people can make a bad film.” PeopleWantFeelsTryingDoeBookMatterFactsHandsFilmTermNovelHollywoodNo Matter WhatCarefulArtisticBe CarefulTurkeys Author:Stephen King
“For being able to use language was a critical skill that could carry one far. One could use it professionally, as a crafter of everything from political speeches to modern novels. One could use it personally, as a tool of discovery or a means of staying connected to others. One could use it as an outlet that would feed the artistic spirit of the creator, which existed in everyone.” MeanUseAblePoliticalSpiritLanguageNovelModernSkillsSpeechDiscoveryToolsCreatorConnectedCriticalArtisticStayingOutletsPolitical SpeechesModern NovelCrafters Author:Elizabeth George
“Computer and video games represent one of the most important new media developments of this generation. Unlike many other forms of entertainment they offer players the opportunity to explore, be creative, learn through interaction and express themselves to others. It is vitally important that we protect and nurture this new art form so that it can reach its full potential. Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them.” PeopleArtImportantPlayFormOpportunityGamesNovelCreativePlayerGenerationsMediaExpressionDevelopmentOffersProtectComputerCriticsEntertainmentVideoArtisticPrimariesInteractionNurtureBe CreativeNurturingThis GenerationFull PotentialArtistic ExpressionNew Media Author:Will Wright
