Please vote for your favorite image from the "Folk Art" assignment for the "People's Choice" award. The guidelines for this assignment were to submit images of folk art, defined as "art made by people who have had little or no formal schooling in art...with traditional techniques and content, in styles handed down through many generations, and often of a particular region." Most definitions of folk art specify that the art is produced by "common folk" with little or no academic art training, using styles and materials from where they live.
To vote for an image, simply select the image title in the "poll" attached at the top of this thread, and click "submit vote."
NOTE: You need to be logged in to see the voting options. Voting will end at midnight, Mountain Time (GMT-07:00) on Sunday, 8 November 2009.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the "Folk Art" assignment. I enjoyed viewing the wonderful variety of works by "common folk," which helped broaden my perspective of "art."
