A '''studio''' is a [[artist]]'s or worker's workroom, or an artist and his or her [[employee]]s who work within that studio. This can be for the purpose of [[painting]], [[pottery]] ([[ceramic]]s), [[sculpture]], [[photography]], [[graphic design]], [[cinematography]], [[animation]], [[radio]] or [[television]] [[broadcasting]] or the making of [[music]].
The [[etymology]] for the word "studio" is derived from the [[Italian language|Italian word]], from [[Latin language|Latin]] ''studium'', from ''studere'', meaning to [[Wiktionary:study|study]] or [[zeal]].
The French term for studio, '''atelier''', in addition to designating an artist's studio is used to characterize the studio of a fashion designer. Atelier also has the connotation of being the home of an [[alchemy|alchemist]] or [[Magician (paranormal)|wizard]].

The studio of a successful artist, especially from the 15th to the 19th centuries, characterized all the assistants, thus the designation of paintings as "from the [[workshop]] of..." or "studio of..."
An art studio is sometimes called an '''atelier''', especially in earlier eras. In contemporary, English language use, "atelier" can also refer to the [[Atelier Method]], a training method for artists that usually takes place in a professional artist's studio.
[[Pottery|Studio pottery]] is made by an individual potter working on his own in his studio, rather than in a ceramics factory (although there may be a design studio within a larger manufacturing site).
The term atelier also refers to a printmaking studio, where master printmakers, work collaboratively with painters & sculpters who want to make limited editions of their art using printing presses, such as lithography, gravure and screen printing.
== Production studios ==
Production studios are those studios which act as centres for the production in any of the [[arts]]; alternatively they can also be the financial and commercial entity behind such endeavours.

=== Movie Studio ===
{{main|Movie studio}}
A '''movie studio''' is a [[company (law)|company]] which develops, equips and maintains a controlled environment for the making of a [[film]]. This environment may be interior ([[sound stage]]), exterior ([[backlot]]) or both.
=== Animation studio ===
[[Animation]] studios, like movie studios, may be production facilities, or financial entities. In some cases, especially in [[Anime]] they continue the tradition of a studio where a [[Master tradesman|Master]] or group of talented individuals oversee the work of lesser artists and crafts persons in realising their vision.
=== Comics studio ===
Artists, predominantly those producing [[comics]], still employ small studios of staff to assist in the creation of a [[comic strip]], [[comic book]] or [[graphic novel]].

=== Television studio ===
{{main|Television studio}}
A television studio is an installation in which television or [[video]] productions take place, either for [[live television]], for recording [[live on tape]], or for the acquisition of raw [[footage]] for [[postproduction]].

A professional television studio generally has several rooms, which are kept separate for noise and practicality reasons.
=== Radio studio ===
A radio studio is a room in which a [[Radio programming|radio program]] or show is produced, either for live [[Broadcasting|broadcast]] or for recording for a later broadcast. The room is soundproofed to avoid unwanted noise being mixed into the broadcast.
