Work Environment
Art directors usually work in studios or office buildings. While their work areas are ordinarily comfortable, well lit, and ventilated, they often handle glue, paint, ink, and other materials that pose safety hazards, and they should, therefore, exercise caution. Art directors who are employed in the film and television industries may work on set locations that range from bustling cities to desolate farmsteads.
