Culture is set of beliefs and ideas of a community that is transmitted from one generation to another. While studying culture we study people's food, clothing and shelter preferences, their belief systems, rituals and customs. Art is the expression of culture - in tangible (literature, fine arts, sculptures, fashion, architecture, coins, pots, carvings, etc.) and intangible (performing arts, music, dance and theater) form.
