For thirty years I was an elementary Art teacher.
Would you have still shared the Audubon drawings, but also taught about the man who drew them?
Absolutely. Including asking the question how does knowing that Audubon owned people and believed in the inferiority of non-white people affect the way you think about his art? I think that's an age appropriate question to pose. Don't you?
