Answer:

Traditionally produced by people from a lower socio-economic background working within their local communities, folk art is often found dancing around the edges of the mainstream art world. Often seen as craft, it has a reputation as being a form of ‘low’ art. The distinction between folk art and ‘mainstream’ art has been emphasised – and embedded – by art institutions, whose historical works endeavour to show either the lives and faces of the upper-classes, or the lives of the working-classes through the eyes of the middle- or upper-classes. Folk art expresses cultural identity by conveying shared community values and aesthetics. It encompasses a range of utilitarian and decorative media, including cloth, wood, paper, clay, metal and more. If traditional materials are inaccessible, new materials are often substituted, resulting in contemporary expressions of traditional folk art forms. Folk art reflects traditional art forms of diverse community groups — ethnic, tribal, religious, occupational, geographical, age- or gender-based — who identify with each other and society at large. Folk artists traditionally learn skills and techniques through apprenticeships in informal community settings, though they may also be formally educated. Folk art are simple, direct, and mostly always colorful.

Influence on mainstream art

Folk artworks, styles and motifs have inspired various artists. For example, Pablo Picasso was inspired by African tribal sculptures and masks, while Natalia Goncharova and others were inspired by traditional Russian popular prints called luboks.[4] In music, Igor Stravinsky’s seminal The Rite of Spring was inspired by pagan religious rites.

larisa86 [58]

Many former confederates resented the new state constitutions imposed by radical republicans because their provisions allowed for black voting and civil rights.

Black men won the right to vote in 1870, but black women were effectively outlawed until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed. When the United States Constitution was ratified (1789), a small number of free blacks were among the voting citizens (men). a landowner in some states).

Overview. A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege that gives rise to a claim of infringement if interfered with by a third party. Discrimination occurs when an individual's civil rights are denied or compromised because he or she belongs to a particular group or class.
