Thanks to all for their suggestions. This what I have so far:
1. Explain who Western Fur Trappers (Mountain Men) were
2. Explain that art can be much more than just paintings in a Gallery. Here is the description I plan to use, Art is the expression of human creative skill and imagination
3. Show gear that fits that description / bows, arrows, bead and quill work, scrimshaw, trade silver, clothing etc.
I will post after I do the presentation and let everyone know how it went. I am doing it in a couple of weeks.
Thanks again for the help,
brian
