I looked up Paul Revere on Camio and found many different items that he made. He was very skilled and made many detailed items. Some of the ones that I found were: a tea urn, federal style tea service, silver spoon, sugar bowl and cover, sauceboat, goblet, urn and cann.
I looked up the Sioux and found a variety of artworks. The first was a picture of a Sioux woman holding her child probably in the early 1900s. I thought about all of the struggles that she must have faced- especially if her children were forced to go to the boarding schools of that era. What was her life like? She had such a detailed face with such expression.
I also found many artist drawings and paintings. There were a variety of topics: battle drawings, worship, dancing, beadwork and clothing.
I chose to look up several different artists. I looked at works by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Many of these works of art would need to be screened out due to content for school but there were still several that would be interesting discussion points for our class.
I didn't know very many other artists from Mexico and found several artists that I want to further research: Paul Uribe, Rufino Tamayo, Maria Izquierdo, Jose Clemente Orozco and Francisco Antonio Vallejo. I did know a couple of them but I am curious to become more familiar with their works as well.
You made some good finds, teachercj! I love how one thing leads to another. Yes, teachers would want to pre-select images for students, especially elementary, but we think CAMIO can be an excellent teaching tool, not only for art, but content areas, too.Thanks for your comments.
