It is universal, diverse, and enduring. It enriches the nation and makes us a commonwealth of cultures. The traditional knowledge and skills required to make a pie crust, plant a garden, arrange a birthday party, or turn a lathe are exchanged in the course of daily living and learned by imitation. It is not simply skills that are transferred in such interactions, but notions about the proper ways to be human at a particular time and place. Whether sung or told, enacted or crafted, traditions are the outcroppings of deep lodes of worldview, knowledge, and wisdom, navigational aids in an ever-fluctuating social world.<\/div><div class=\"nw_facet_download\"><button class=\"nw_facet_download_button et_pb_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/locallearningnetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CWCbooklet.pdf\">Download Now<\/a><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"nw_facet_item\"><h3>How to Teach Folk Arts to Young People: The Need for Context<\/h3><div class=\"nw_article_meta\">by Graeme Chalmers | Originally published in 1996<\/div><div class=\"nw_facet_wrap\"><div class=\"nw_facet_description\">In a a speech at New York University, Chalmers challenges the practice of \"aesthetic scanning\" by providing art teachers with ways to teach students the social context in which art is created.<\/div><div class=\"nw_facet_download\"><button class=\"nw_facet_download_button et_pb_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/locallearningnetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/graeme_chalmers.pdf\">Download Now<\/a><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"nw_facet_item\"><h3>Negotiating Pitfalls and Possibilities<\/h3><div class=\"nw_article_meta\">by Debora Kodish and William Westerman | Originally published in 1996<\/div><div class=\"nw_facet_wrap\"><div class=\"nw_facet_description\">Kodish and Westerman outline the steps taken toward understanding folk art and locating it within communities.
