A creative work is a manifestation of creative effort including fine artwork (sculpture, paintings), writing (literature), filmmaking, and musical composition.
Creative works have in common a degree of arbitrariness, such that it is improbable that two people would independently create the same work. At its base, creative work involves two main steps—having an idea, and then turning that idea into a reality. The term is frequently used in the context of copyright.
