1. It was interesting to see that Paul Revere was an artist!
He was a painter, but he did most with decorative arts and Utillitarian objects.
2. Using the term "Sioux" I got 63 hits ranging from costumes to paintings. I like the suggested search box of info on the left side of the screen. This information can really assist in narrowing your search.
The up close view and the detailed description really show the items well.
3. I searched for Terry Redlin and Sandra Koch two of my f avorite contemporary artists but found nothing on them. Then I tried Grandma Moses and Norman Rockwell. Both of these had items attached, but only a limited number---Grandma only 1 and Rockwell only 6. which I found rather interesting. Items can be seen in high resolution full page view and that is great for details.
There is an option to search specific museums and that would be helpful to traveling students and faculty. The Browser option lets you search by contributing museum or work type.
The viewing optons ie: slide show and creating a webpage especially were great ideas! Esay, quick, fun!
Hi, dlueb! Isn't it amazing that we can see details better here than if we were looking at it in person through a glass case? This resource does not have a lot of contemporary art or SD artists--at least, not yet, sorry. I like your field trip idea and agree that the viewing options make this a great resource for presentations.
