Traditional art serves a useful purpose and connects communities to the past while being passed down through generations. Examples include folk music, pottery, and artifacts. Folk art expresses cultural identity through shared values and aesthetics using media like cloth, wood, and clay. It is created by individuals learning skills informally within their community. Fine art is created mainly for aesthetic value and beauty through forms like painting, printmaking and sculpture, in contrast to applied art and crafts which have functional purposes. Examples of fine art include graphics design, architecture, and conceptual art.
