Common mistake:
Learners sometimes use "artworks" when talking about art in general, e.g. *I like artworks* instead of *I like art*. Use "artwork" or "a piece of artwork" for one object, and "art" for the subject in general. Learners may also call music or novels "artwork"; it is more natural to use "artwork" only for visual art you look at.
Meaning
A painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.
