Folk Art: Folk Art by definition - is the art produced by self-taught people - in other words - those who have not studied at art school. However today - the term "Folk Art" is also used to describe craft techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. Then - there's Outsider Art - which is art that is created outside of the norm. That is to say - without guidelines or accepted standards. There's also Visionary Art. It seems that there are those among us that have a spiritual force guiding them to create works of art - usually with a strong spiritual message - this is called visionary art.
