Playing & Learning With Folk Arts

WHAT DO WE WANT TO LEARN?
THE KNOWLEDGE GALLERY

What use do folk arts have here and now? How do we learn about the cultural traditions and community knowledge around us? The projects included here reflect ways that young people at FACTS and adults have taken to investigate and document folk arts, and to share what they know (and what they want to know) about important community traditions and knowledge.

Read about the Folk Arts Standards (what we want kids to know and be able to do in folk arts at FACTS) that we developed for FACTS. This is a work in progress.

 

Do-It-Yourself

Here are some things to think about:

Who is in your own gallery of valued cultural treasures?

From who have you learned? (And what?)

What do you value and want to pass on?

Where have you taken a stand?
