But this work is communitarian, taught from one generation to the next, and done completely the traditional way. The clay is gathered from sacred areas, the paint is made from stones and vegetation, the firing is under piles of dung, and the symbols used are from an over 600 year heritage. In the US the umbrella of 'outsider art' is quite encompassing, sometimes including ethnographic works, and Native American arts and culture.
