What characteristics constitutes work as ‘Folk Art’ ?
I have made up some stories that are fantasy and suggest certain manners of how things where created or came to be. Mind you, it is only fantasy fair much like a fable. Is it possible I have created ‘folk art’.
Just interested. Thanks.
John wondering, you are absyteezwein profunctarially chorendenschious. Good for you.
I think you mean, folk lore. Folk art is a visual piece, not prose. It is categorized by the artist’s lack of artistic schooling and their success in creating a complete, well-rounded work of art inspite of this ‘disability’.
Folk lore is categorized by its age (normally the legend, myth, w/e is very old), its content (often it is fantastical but based in truth), and often by the length of the lore (generally tales are short and sweet, getting to the point in the least amount of time that allows the story to be fully and artfully told).
