These days we’re all talking about Ukraine, so I was curious to know a little more about them and I’m sharing with you what I learn.

First, where Ukraine is located?

What is Ukrainian Folk Art?

Most of them have both a utilitarian and a decorative function.

What things or images do you see in folk art?

May include forms of expressive culture like art, dance, song, poetry, and food.

It’s traditional. It reflects shared cultural aesthetics and social issues. It is recognized that, as traditions are dynamic, traditional folk art may change over time.

Petrykivka painting.

It’s the Ukrainian arts and crafts patterned folk style that originated from the village of Petrykivka (today it is the center of the Petrykivsky district of the Dnipropetrovsk region) and takes its name from this village.
