CAMIO

I found pictures of several items made by Paul Revere and even a few by his son.  OK on closer look, the birth dates for Paul Revere Jr. and Paul Revere are the same, so I guess they are one in the same person. There is quite a variety of items.  I looked at the drawing and at a spoon.  Wouldn't it be cool to own a spoon created by Paul Revere?  Is this where Revereware originated?  Now I'm rambling, or should I call it blogging?  I really enjoy this site.  The tea set is exquisite.

When I looked up Sioux, I narrowed the search to Lakota.  The items are very colorful and interesting.  Some are quite old and some (the baby bonnet) are fairly modern.

I looked up Picasso since I really don't have a favorite artist.  The results were very interesting.  This is a great way to experience his unique style.

I am anxious to share this resource with the art teachers.  I looked up masks since one art teacher does a unit on them in collaboration with social studies classes and she often sends students to the library to find images in books and on the internet.  This could be a great resource for her.  It would be very easy to create a slide show to share with students using the favorites feature.

  1. Wonderful idea to share with your art teacher. You might like to share the Paul Revere and Sioux info with your social studies teachers, too. There are images featuring various time periods, battles, etc. Thanks for your comments.
