Appropriate artwork using photograph? (4,8)

I believe the answer is:

take pictures

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'photograph?' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'appropriate artwork' is the wordplay.
'appropriate' becomes 'take' (appropriate can mean to steal).
'artwork' becomes 'pictures' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'take'+'pictures'='TAKE PICTURES'

'using' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
