I didn't get very many responses about what you suggest presenting to kids
in the way of lessons about American artists (about six reponses). But here
they are! I have added quite a bit of info to the list myself, as I am
putting together a list for my own use. Hope you can use the info too. It's
quite imcomplete at this point... if you add to it, let me know!
