Folk art refers to visual or material forms of creative expression that are created by individuals, groups, or communities primarily for their cultural, societal, or functional utility, rather than for commercial or professional purposes. These artworks often reflect traditional art forms of a particular community or society, created by non-professional artists, and passed down from generation to generation. Folk art can include a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, textiles, pottery, and more, and it often incorporates indigenous, historical, and cultural themes and techniques.
