Folk Art

Folk Art

• Folk art describes a wide range of objects that
  reflect the craft traditions and traditional
  social values of various social groups. These art
  works from 'common folk' are generally produced
  by people who have little or no academic artistic
  training.
• Folk Artists, or artists termed as Folk Artists
  normally have been working in a particular medium
  for tens of years and have gained design and
  compositional skills through natural ability and
  practice. Their work can seem somewhat childlike,
  but is rich in color, design and composition and
  is appreciated for these strengths along with
  its naïve quality.
