Creative industries

Creative industries are businesses that sell things that are considered creative or artistic, like movies, TV shows, music, art, books, and video games.

Imagine you have a really cool drawing you made that you want to sell. You could sell it to a teacher or friend, but if you wanted to sell it to a bunch of people all over the world, you could put it on a website like Etsy or Amazon. These websites are part of the creative industries because they help people sell their creative things to many people.

But it's not just about selling things. People have to create these things first! This means someone has to write a script for a movie, a song for a band, or come up with the idea for a video game. These people are also part of the creative industries.

The creative industries are important because they help us express ourselves, tell stories, and share our ideas with the world. Plus, they provide jobs for people who love being creative and bringing new things into the world.
