Documentation of Folk Art

Documentation of folk art involves systematically recording and preserving traditional artistic expressions created by local communities. This process includes photographing artworks, collecting stories and cultural practices, and noting techniques and materials used. The goal is to capture the unique heritage and craftsmanship of a community's art forms so they can be studied, appreciated, and preserved for future generations. Proper documentation helps protect folk art from loss, promotes awareness of cultural diversity, and supports efforts to sustain traditional skills and knowledge.
