The Art of Korea
The art of Korea, while similar to the art of China and Japan, has its own unique style that is heavily influenced by nature.
Different types of Korean art include painting, calligraphy, pottery, sculpture, and lacquerware.
Korean art shows an appreciation for the simplicity of nature, and often utilizes raw natural materials such as wood with visible grains.
Korean art is also defined by its simplicity and spontaneity (Kim et al.).
