Creative Reach Artistic Paradigm 

Also known as "Creative Reach Algrorithmic Paradigm", or "CRAP", it is the process of an artist progressively moving further away from their artwork. The concept was coined by Australian YouTuber Draw With Jazza
"I started using the Creative Reach Artistic Paradigm strategy to imorove my art skills, and it's really working."
"In order to successfully achieve the Creative Reach Artistic Paradigm, one should use a pole with a sharpie on the end of it"
"The CRAP is crap"

artistiphism

A common disease found among people who suck dick at drawing, painting, stamping, or any other artistic variation. Sufferers may find themselves sucking dick at one specific type of artistic endeavor, but being not too bad or even good at another. In the worst cases, sufferers just suck dick at everything art-related no matter how much effort they put forth. A very good justification for being fucking terrible at anything art-related. Similar to artistically challenged, just a better excuse.
Person A:"Dude, your photography skills are amazing! But what's that piece of shit painting you created over there?"
Person B: "Don't criticize that, I suffer from partial artistiphism."

Teacher: "Johnny, your work is complete shit. You're getting a D in art class."
Student: "Teacher, you can't give me a D! I suffer from acute artistiphism!"

Doctor: "I'm sorry, but no matter how much effort you put into art, you will always suck ass dick. You suffer from artistiphism."

artistic licence 

a distortion or complete ignorance of the facts; a lie

describes the freedoms artists (or writers, film makers, etc) take with the facts in the process of creating; disregarding facts for the sake of the art
When a book is made into a movie and parts are left out or changes are made -- the film makers are using artistic licence

The movie Titanic - the sinking of the Titanic is a real event in history but the characters in the movie are fictional. The writer took a real event and used artistic licence to create a story.

Artistic liberties 

A favored term of filmmakers who create films based on or around a historical event/person/era that holds little historical accuracy, usually for the sake of making the film seem more interesting than the reality it's based on, and by extension, possibly drawing in larger crowds and making more money at the box office.
Such extensive artistic liberties were taken with Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" that it was booed at Cannes.

When George Hickenlooper was questioned as to why his '06 film, "Factory Girl", had been panned so severely by Warhol scholars, he spoke of his artistic liberties taken with the film.
