''Naïve art'' is created by untrained artists. It is characterized by simplicity and a lack of the elements or qualities found in the art of formally trained artists. (See also, Outsider Art , with which it bears many similarities.) The term ''naïve art'' presumes the existence (by contrast) of an academy and of a generally accepted ''educated'' manner of art creation, most often Painting . In practice, however, there are schools of naïve artists. Over time it has become an acceptable style. The characteristics of naïve art are an awkward relationship to the formal qualities of painting; for example, difficulties with drawing and perspective that result in a charmingly awkward and often refreshing vision; strong use of pattern, unrefined colour, and simplicity rather than subtlety are all supposed markers of naive art. It has become such a popular and recognisable style that many examples could be called ''pseudo-naïve''. Primitive art is another term often applied to the art of those without formal training. This is distinguished from the self-conscious movement Primitivism . Another term related to, but not completely synonymous with, naïve art, is Folk Art . NAïVE ARTISTS
