Important examples of artistic in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, artistic is often used to describe creative skills or works.

▪The gallery features artistic works from local artists.
▪The gallery shows creative works from local artists.

Example of a confusing word: artificial (man-made)

▪The gallery features artificial works from local artists.
▪The gallery displays man-made works from local artists.
"Artistic" is an adjective used to describe something related to art or creative skills, as in "artistic works," which implies creativity and originality. "Artificial," however, means "man-made" or "not natural," and using it in the sentence "The gallery features artificial works" changes the meaning to imply that the works are not genuine or naturally created, which is not the intended meaning. Thus, "artistic" is the correct choice for describing creative works.
