Grammar Explanation:

If there is a base form of a verb after “will”, such as “cook”, “bake”, “play”, “talk” indicating action, then just use the subject with “will”.  

 

If “will” is not followed by an action but by a noun or an adjective, then use “will be”.

 “Frida Kahlo de Rivera born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón; July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter who is best known for her self-portraits.

 

Kahlo’s life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.

 

Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as folk art.  She believed that her work reflected more of her reality than her dreams.” ]

 “Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic.  Folk Art is characterized by a naive style, in which traditional rules of proportion and perspective are not employed.  Closely related terms are Outsider art, Self-Taught Art and Naïve art” ]
