Folk Art Fusion: Americana A fun, accessible take on creating beloved scenes from the heartland. Perspective & the Naïve Style Drawing in perspective means representing objects in a three-dimensional space to give the illusion of depth and distance. In American folk art, these traditional rules are usually ignored. This is known as 'naïve style'. Artists sometimes use naïve style as a nod to folk artists who did not have a traditional art background. It has become a recognizable element in American folk art. Don’t stress over achieving realistic perspective in your pieces-it’s all a part of the naïve style. What Is American Folk Art? American folk art, like its other folk art relatives, relies on experiences, nostalgia, and heritage rather than formal training. Originally, folk art was created by craftsmen and workers during the 1700s and 1800s, and it has evolved in contemporary times as art that truly celebrates culture and tradition around the world. American folk art was used to convey progress and joy during civil and political unrest in American culture. To look at old American folk artists’ work is to look through a telescope into another world. Many American folk-art pieces remain unnamed because their creators were everyday people, not widely known, and often completely unrecognized for their artistic talent. American folk artists were skilled, working-class people who entertained their trade by day and their creative talent by night. Learn to paint works of art like these: Songbird Growing up, my mother placed birdseed around the garden to attract songbirds. We saw so many kinds of songbirds that I think they will forever serve as inspiration for me. My favorite, though, remains the iconic cardinal. Independence Day I love walking around during Fourth of July celebrations. Buntings, banners, and old historical flags from our country’s beginnings are flown with pride outside of many homes. And there’s nothing more festive than a perfect display of fireworks! Wash Day If I can, I always include a quilt in one of my pieces. While I may not be the most experienced quilter, I love a good vintage fabric quilt. Adding the details to the quilts in this piece will be somewhat challenging, but also very rewarding. Peace in the City The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of the year. I love all the symbols of peace and hope that the season brings. An angel is the perfect symbol of calm over a beautifully busy and bright city.
