Russian folk art ... What is its value?

Throughout life we ​​are surrounded by various objects and things.These are clothes, dishes, furniture ... They are our second, man-made nature, reflecting the level of social development, has an impact on spirituality.It is therefore of great importance with which the toys our children play and what things are to us in everyday life.In the old days people surrounded themselves with objects that seem to us today as the Russian folk art - a towel embroidered flowers, colorful dolls, colorful woven scarves decorated with wooden ornaments and pottery, made of cloth doll.

surround us today as everyday objects made on an assembly line.We are not cut as a gift to mum kitchen cutting board and decorate it burnt ornament, we do not embroider towels do not knit socks because it all can be bought ready-made, beautiful and new.But somehow our spirit dull and humorless.We do not sing songs kiddies before bedtime, and more often suffer from depression, and forgot how to do handicrafts for the joy of their loved ones.But we vaguely remember that once the Russian folklore was the basis of education of the young generation.

Today, we make money.Returning from work, buy food along the way.Come home soon and hurry to turn on the TV.Like all good, but some kind of emptiness oppresses us.We are not lacking in the life of spirituality and aesthetics, so handicrafts again become very fashionable in all developed countries.The higher the level of human development, the more expensive it is our Russian folk art.
Foreigners traveling to Russia to meet with arts and crafts wealth of our nation.Pottery, lace, Khokhloma, Palekh boxes painted eggs and writing - it is just a small list of wealth, which is a Russian folk art - handmade, cheerful, with a colorful character.The very nature of these nuggets chose better and kept for centuries, handing us a unique tradition.

even doing is not quite skillful hand crafts, drawings on splints or bark have amazing power and transmit miraculous sense of beauty, because the obscure master carried these items with love to please their loved ones, decorate their hard life in the harsh northerncountry.

Russian folk art conveys to us the images formed worldview of people.Even podglyadev somewhere in the plot for its products, the wizard adds his own vision and soul.For example, it began in the XVIII century nobles to decorate their palaces lions, and Nizhny Novgorod carvers podglyadel appearance of these wonderful animals and they have decorated the hut, carved into the wooden shutters and window sills are very good-natured lions muzzles resemble domestic cats.

Is this not a confirmation of the rule that the Russian folk art does not copy?It is always a separate and unique art, which has its roots in antiquity.Create, our Russian people believe in the forces of good and placate them.So, towel embroidering or down shirt, the woman portrayed birds of paradise among the bright flowers.According to popular belief, when the bird sings, people live for many years in happiness and grief do not know.Sitting at the embroidery or weaving stanochkom woman sang soulful songs, attracting the house good and happiness.
