Did not realize Sitting Bull after the battle of Little Bighorn led his tribe into Canada, where they stayed until surrendering to the U.S. forces.

I did a search on John F. Kennedy as students always need materials on presidents.In my findings the information was broken down into various areas. This would assist a student looking up various information regarding their president.

General information was listed for the proposed site of his library. Legal and financial files relating to his attorneys work toward the library and the foundation. I found interesting the way a person could utilize the contact information to recieve more material, data in regarding their subject.





Did not realize Paul Revere was know for making a silver tea urn & that he actually made 3 of them.

When I typed in Sioux I was wondering what would be found. It amazed me the history of the Sioux found in the paintings from George Catlin and how he captured images from self-torture,worship, war dance, etc.

I searched for Renoir and am impressed with his paintings of portraits.

For an Art teacher I think showing various artists to students and seeing how history was captured is terrific.
Also knowing the medium used in the paintings, how long it took to paint, plus being able to compare artists to students. Having students utilize this site is going to be a delight to gather various information regarding an artist and their works. Not only do I see the artistice benefites but being able to tie in with a history project!
