Overview:
A fine artist focuses on creating works of art using various mediums. They usually specialise in a particular medium like painting, sculptures, photography etc. They are commissioned to produce a piece of art or might create their own works of art and sell them to public. They may also take up other activities like running art classes, teaching art in school or work on community art projects.
