Folk Art Fusion: Americana A fun, accessible take on creating beloved scenes from the heartland. Read more Perspective & the Nave 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 'nave style'. Artists sometimes use nave 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. Dont stress over achieving realistic perspective in your pieces-its all a part of the nave 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.

And theres 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.
