*Ekphrastic is
a term that describes the practice of using words to comment
on a piece of visual art (i.e, painting, photograph, sculpture) and has been
around since ancient times. For example, in The Iliad, Homer provided a lengthy, discursive account
of the elaborate scenes embossed on the shield of Achilles. The word ekphrasis is
a combination of two Greek words: ex (out) and phrazein (to point
out, explain).
Folk art, in general – art made by folk - is
“decorative” art applied to functional (often everyday) items. Popular examples
include weather vanes, pitchers, clocks, quilts, and plates. More
details.
