Toward a Theoretical Approach to Teaching Folk Art: A Definition.
Congdon, Kristin G.
Studies in Art Education, v28 n2 p96-104 Win 1987
Proposes a definition for folk art based on analyzing and sorting the descriptors and identifiers used in the disciplines of art history, folklore, anthropology, and antique and folk art collection. The proposed definition is not meant to specify an undeniable category of art, but rather to suggest specific aspects which should be identified in its study. (Author/JDH)
