The Childlike World of Naïve Art

One way to describe naïve art is to say that it's art that makes you smile. It translates the experiences of daily life and lightens them up. Some of the subjects featured in naïve art include weddings, summer, nature, and Bible stories. This type of artwork is produced on a wide variety of surfaces, from pieces of wood to surfboards, and can be created using many media, such as acrylics, oils, pencils, pastels, crayons, and chalk. If you feel removed from your busy life while staring at a vibrant, colorful painting, and experience yourself being transported to memories of childhood, you'll most likely be looking at a piece of naive art.
