 Folk art is a higher form of culture
in comparison to primitive art. The needs and peculiar problems
of the village people's life find an expression in folk art.
While satisfying the needs of the people, folk art attains
a certain aesthetic level. Folk art is divided into two classes,
Viz. hand-made figures and moulded figures. The hand-made
type is of a primitive pattern. Heads, eyes, eye-brows, lips
etc of the figures are shown, but the legs are left out. In
the moulded type a full human or animal figure is fashioned.
