| Work activities in this group primarily involve the creative expression of ideas, feelings, and moods in artistic designs, objects, and arrangements. Fine arts typically involve creation and execution of such works as portraiture, sculpture, ceramics, mosaics, and murals which are produced for their own sake rather than for utilitarian consideration, and are generally characterized by the artist's freedom to choose media and technique. Commercial arts are characteristically concerned with the creation and reproduction of commercial and industrial designs involving adherence to technical requirements or functional limitations specified by the client or employer. | |
