1. I learned that Sitting Bull was also known by Tatanka Iyotake or Tatnka Iyotanka or Ta-Tanka I-Yotan. I was also surprised that he fled to Canada and then later toured with the Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show.



2. I did a search for Weiszhaar which is my maiden name. I did not find any entries with that search. I then did John Buechler which was my grandfather. I found two entries, one was the U of Florida and the other was the U of Vermont, but their were a lot of John Buechlers. His name was John B. Buechler which I did not find. This is a very interesting tool. If you had a lot of time to keep digging. It is too bad that you do not have access to it at home. So if you have a few minutes you could do some more digging.

1. I put in Paul Revere and got 34 pictures of him and his family. Also silver pieces that he made and pictures of his ride. It was interesting to me that he had done silver pieces. I guess I never thought of what his occupation was.



2.I put in Sioux and got 63 pictures of articles of clothing, pipes, and pictures, some are hand drawn and others look like old time photos, that depict various events in the Sioux's lives.

3.I searched for Van Gogh. The search produced 45 works. I great number of painting are in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It also gives great descriptions of each of the paintings and if they were part of a series and such.

4. I would think that the art department in our high school would use this for a reference. If they do any art appreciation in their classes, it would be a wonderful resource.

5. This feature would be wonderful if you were using it with a class. You could compare different prints of an artist or different artist. It could also be used on a webpage for students to observe different artists and have a little smaller grouping. When you are searching you get so many results it is a little overwelming for younger students.

This is a wonderful site if you need to look up any paintings. Most artists that I looked up were available.
