If you told it what it was to be sentient
if you gave it the ability to traverse semantic networks, combine knowledge, add to the network it could have "original thoughts"
If you gave it goals as to what was good art or bad art, or better yet allowed it to "learn" what art best suited its own current understanding of what was good or bad, what made sense and what didnt, what comforted its understanding of comfort, then it would create fine art
same deal with fantasy art of course i know what you mean ;). But i'd say there wasnt any magic to any of the things you just said, rather, they are all just aparant high level affects of very low level and simple algorithms which everyone has built for themselves and that everyone follows
