FOLK ART LESSONS

FOLK ART is . . . by the people.
FOLK ARTISTS . . .

• create art that is not dependent on training.
• have an independent streak that makes their art powerful.
• are not interested about their art looking like anyone else’s art.
• play to our imagination. They find a sense of wonder in the ordinary.
• choose to find art in everyday material. Some folk artists make things out of toothpicks, light bulbs or abandoned furniture.
