FOLK ART 

                    is basically an art form produced from an indigenius culture, peasants or other laboring                       tradespeople. In comparison to fine art, folk art primarily utilitarian, and decorative,                             designed to be useful, practical rather than being all about the aesthetics.
                    It includes things like masks,puppets,textiles,boats,costumes,etc..
