Summary: |
Bill Traylor, who worked as a farm laborer before and after the Civil War, was "discovered" as a folk artist at the age of 85. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Mary Lyon's books on folk artists form an informative and expanding text set to explore what makes a folk artist. Learners might enjoy comparing and contrasting the life and art of these artists, using the Selected Resources and the Internet to gather more information. The biographical information about Charles Shannon, the younger artist who discovered and encouraged Traylor, provides an opportunity for prediction and inference activities about what attracted him to Traylor and why he worked so hard to promote the work.
