Objective Criticism

This piece 'Folk Bird And Flowers' displays a great example of folk art. This work is more decorative than purely aesthetic. It uses bright colors and flat appearance. I think the lines in the background of this piece help bring emphasis on the objects, being the bird & flowers. The value of color establish a sense of balance, no color stands out more than the other. The forms in the surface and pot are patterned and contrast with the petals of the flowers. The white outline around the objects of the piece give a gentle and calm approach when viewing.
