Reflections on the House of Blues

The field trip to the House of Blues was interesting. Unlike the Art Institute of Chicago, the House of Blues is a two-story music hall with unique Indian style design, and a large collection of folk art.  On Wednesday, our trip to the House of Blues was all about folk art.  What is folk art?  As the guide, Anna, explained: “folk art is mostly created by self-taught artists who don’t have much money but would like to create beautiful and interesting things.”  The folk art in the House of Blues is very informative, and I liked most of the art there.

I especially like the ones made of mud.

 
I also like the ones made of recycled items.
