and this is along the same lines of taking pictures of artwork.

I agree. I felt they seemed tourist-like when I was taking them and even more so after I viewed them.

Is it worth not taking a picture if it's gonna seem tourist-like? Or how do I learn to be more creative to make my pictures more interesting?

I'm afraid to even show you the Chinese Gardens in Portland pictures, talk about tourist like.

that's a good question.

did you hold down the button the whole time or did you actually think about the angles?
