A folk art is traditionally passed from one generation to the next, and is usually learned by listening or observation. Most often the art has elements of artistic design but often serves a family, tribal, or community function. Do you have a relative who plays guitar and sings songs about their experiences? Do you have a relative or friend who makes quilts? Does someone you know make a special food at certain times of the year for special occasions? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you know a folk artist! Write two substantive paragraphs about the person, their art, and your experience with it. You may want to ask how they learned their art, what it means to them, and who they've taught it to.

Important Hints

If you plan to type your answer directly into the text box, we highly recommend you use a word processing program. (PC users: You may use WordPad or NotePad. Mac users: You may use TextEdit.) Please make sure you save your work as you go along. When you are done, CUT and PASTE your answer into the empty box. That way, if for any reason you lose your internet connection in the middle of typing your answer, you won't lose all the work you have done up to that point. Only use the Comments area for comments to your instructor, not for submitting your assignments.
