Lesson 8

Archive Grid
When typing Sitting Bull Autograph Card into the search box I found out that another name for sitting bull was Tatanka Iyotake.  I continue my search through Archive Grid and decided to do my own search on Anne Frank.  I found a few articles on issues with the book and movie, but I also found a very interesting collection from the Mary Lane papers.  This collection was from a lady who after reading Anne Frank Diary started writing letters back and forth with Otto Frank, Anne's father.  This collection is found at Emory University.

CAMIO
I have been really frustrated with this post.  I have done the post atleast 4 times but an error occurs because I am trying to make my blog look nice and throw in pictures.  Any how I have learned my lesson and will not be using pictures.
Paul Revere- When searching him I found beautiful artwork and a spoon.
Sioux- When I searched sioux I found clothing worn by the Native people and beautiful paintings of the Native people.
Georgia O'' Keeffe -I found alot of her wonderful art.  I like how I could search by format, year, creator, and subject on the left side.  Being able to put my results in order by date, title, image etc was also a nice feature.

I could easily use this tool in my classroom when we do art studies.  I can pull up different work from each artist we study and give students time to view the art work. I like that I could add some of the works to favorites so when I want to show work to students I can just pull up the slideshow.  Great Feature!
