What is Folk Art?
The definition of folk art varies, but most descriptions offer a common set of criteria: It has either a utilitarian or decorative function, it is reflective of the culture from which it originated, and can be self-taught or taught informally. By making folk art we can learn international history, deepen our sense of self-identity, and create bridges with those from differing cultures.
