Summary:
Editor Lyons collected these excerpts about Clementine Hunter, considered one of America's finest folk artists, from magazine and newspaper articles and tape-recorded interviews. The artist's work illustrates the book.

Teaching Ideas:
Individual "chapters" can be excerpted for use in other units of study, such as those about daily life in different cultures or at different times. Students may want to explore the relationship between artists' lives and their work. They may also want to delve into the issue of "folk art," including its defining characteristics and why it is so appealing.
