Lesson 8

Lesson 8 -- ArchiveGrid and CAMIO
Here I am again a week late. Apparently I work best under pressure. Since I was on last we watched two of our granddaughters dance in a recital. They were beautiful and did a wonderful job. We also traveled and got to see a granddaughter sing in her spring concert. She was the best lemonade vendor I have ever seen. Great stuff. So now on to this (or last) weeks challenge!

So I just read Lesson 8 and you have to access this site from the library or school and since I am at home and  the library is not open today I will move on to Lesson 9. Books are Fun is at the library this week so on Wednesday or Thursday I will stop in and accomplish two tasks while I am there. See you later...

1. Paul Revere - The Bloody Massacre,  Teaspoon, Tea urn, Sugar Bowl and cover, Federal Style Tea Service, The Boston Massacre, Sugar bowl, Creampot, ...

2. Lots of Native American bead work and other art work like pipes. Also, there was paintings of Sioux Springs-- near Humboldt, Nevada.

3. I have been intrigued by Harvey Dunn, I have a large print of The Prairie is my Garden in my dining room. I was surprised to find no works by Harvey Dunn in Camio. Next I searched Terry Redlin also no information apparently our South Dakota artists are not famous enough.

Michael Angelo was my next search and of course there were  ten results nine of which were pencil drawings and one painting "The Appearance of St. Michael on the Castel Sant'Angelo to Pope Gregory the Great". 

4. Interesting if you were going on a trip and wanted to get a preview of what was in a museum you were visiting. The school children may use this while doing a research project on art or various artists.

5. This was kind of cool but I do not have an application in mind for myself or my children, but who knows tomorrow is another day and you never know when you may need this information.

  1. Granddaughters always take precedence before assignments! Glad you got to be there for them.
