Folk Artists are said to be un-trained visionaries. One might look at a piece of folk art as childish. However, the fact is many art collectors search for this very quality for their galleries today. It is considered one of the purest forms of art. It is considered to be an un-adulterated look into culture and life. In this tribe we hope to collect and arrange our own gallery and learn the names of some of the world’s most amazing folk artists

Pop art is a visual artistic movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in parallel in the late 1950s in the United States. The term was used by British art critic/curator, Lawrence Alloway. Pop art is one of the major art movements of the twentieth century. Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as advertising and comic books, pop art is widely interpreted as either a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism or an expansion upon them. Pop art, like pop music, aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any given culture. Pop art at times targeted a broad audience, and often claimed to do so.

Much of pop art is considered very academic, as the unconventional organizational practices used often make it difficult for some to comprehend. Pop art and minimalism are considered to be the last modern art movements and thus the precursors to postmodern art, or some of the earliest examples of postmodern art themselves

Yourown art is also welcome and encouraged !!!
