The term is used to cover the stunningly diverse and exquisite fabric of art objects made my particular social sections all over the world. [[[Folk art]]] apparently has a great potential in the international market because of its traditional aesthetic sensibility and authenticity.
It has seen sufficient transformations since its inception, which has been many centuries ago. It has evolved with time, but has always been an integral part of the rich heritage. It has constantly been a part and parcel of the societal transformations that have taken place.
There has been growing patronization of folk-art through marketing opportunities and exposure all over the world in the last ten to fifteen years. The best way to describe folk art is to say it is the craftsmanship of people from a local area which depicts the everyday life and times they shared.
This was not created by a named artist but by ordinary people who needed certain things. These items were used everyday. The items were passed out to family and friends. Some pieces are created for the sheer beauty of it, like wood carvings. Local craftsmen who are proud of their heritage are picking up the tradition and starting to teach the younger ones how to do things, like basket weaving or tin smithing.
One of the oldest forms of folk art is puppetry. Puppeteers use various kinds of puppets, including marionettes, glove puppets, rod puppets, cloth puppets and wire puppets in performances incorporating folk songs and dances over some dialogues.
