Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Folk art is a visual expression of culture and tradition, often created by untrained artists or craftspeople. Recognizable by its simplicity, it generally holds pragmatic significance over decorative purpose. Folk art is often characterized by bright, bold colors, recurring motifs, and simple, unrefined forms or shapes. Materials employed tend to be commonplace and natrually available. To create art in this style, opt for simplicity in design, use traditional routines, and consider incorporating cultural or community symbols or stories. Craft each piece by hand to maintain the inherent uniqueness this style values.
