Primitive Folk Art & Renaissance Primitive, folk art and renaissance artisans express a sort of cultural identity by conveying those shared community values and aesthetics often encompassing a range of utilitarian and decorative media, including cloth, wood, paper, clay, horn, bone, metal and more. If traditional materials are inaccessible, new materials are often substituted, resulting in contemporary expressions of traditional folk art and renaissance forms.

Often old items (antiques, distressed utilitarian items like baskets, pails, pots, boxes, and other containers) are decorated with folk art and made 'new' again to be used as decorative objects or even to be used for their original, or another, purpose. Renaissance celebrations recreate and re-enact the old in modern times.

Folk art and renaissancere recreations reflect traditional art forms, and utilitarian pieces, of diverse community groups -- ethnic, tribal, religious, occupational, geographical, age- or gender-based -- who identify with each other and society at large. Folk artists and renaissance artisans traditionally learn their skills and techniques through apprenticeships in informal community settings, most often receiving instruction from others, though they may also be formally educated. Folk art is also known as primitive art and native art.
