Folk art


 

Folk Art describes a wide range of objects that reflect the craft traditions, and traditional social values, of various social groups. Folk artists are generally self-taught. For the most part, "Folk Art" would exclude works executed by professional artists and sold as "high art" to the society's aristocratic elite.
