The items shown made by Paul Revere were some paintings, a teaspoon, a spoon, a sugar bowl with a cover and some other personal items. I hadn't realized he made those items. I like how it tells you the date of about when the items were around and where they are located.
For the search of Sioux you were also shown paintings, artifacts, dolls and pipes. There were lots of really interesting items that are shared. I like how it tells what the item is, who the creator was, the date and again where the item can be located.
I did my search on Georgia O'Keeffe--some of the workers have been talking about her lately and I wanted to see what kind of work she did. The search brought up some of her paintings...I loved looking at them and found a couple that I liked. Again shows the dates, where they are located - most I could tell would be found in New York, Cleveland and Philadelphia. I found when you click on the picture it makes the picture bigger and gives you more information about the painting. The one I clicked on was the White Flower, price is $8000, dated 1929, tells the size of it and it is oil on canvas. That is all great information for art dealers and collectors. I thought that was kind of interesting to know.
I am not sure how the community would use this.....unless used during an art show display or something like that. Possibly if a student - college or high school had to do research on a particular artist and see some of their work - this would be good for that.
I played with a couple different pictures of Georgia O'Keeffe's and moved them around, did the slide show and the comparing of the images was cool. That would come in handy to check replicas of pictures or if you were painting something that an artist did and want to see how close you got yours...that would be kind of cool. This was an interesting site, glad I got to try it out.
Thanks for digging in here, Librarian Bri! We think that CAMIO could be used to find images from history, as well as the obvious art connection. It's like bringing world-class art institutes here! Thanks for your comments.
