When you learn how to draw a folk art cat, it takes no special skill and the shapes are all very basic. Save him or her for a lesson about folk art, or Halloween, or both. It’s always nice when a project can do double duty.

Folk artists often use simple techniques, bright colors, and childlike images so they can make art as a means of self-expression rather than something that is “real”. It’s all about drawing just for the fun of it, which is a great message to share with students, as often as you can.
