1. After searching Sioux, I came upon a picture of the Scalp Shirt. Wow! I was taken back a bit to think it was "white man" scalps but read on and found it comforting to know that scalps weren't from white people but rather donated by family to represent a war exploit. The article includes an explanation, what museum it is located at and was medium was used to create this work of art.
You may also refine your by medium used, by creator, date and subject. Unable to experience first hand these works of art, anyone can experience art of all kinds on CAMIO. The pictures are very clear. You can see the intricate detail with high resolution imaging.
2. Living in a rural community we can experience art with CAMIO that otherwise we might never see. I shared this site with our Art teacher and it will be a useful tool in giving students ideas for projects using all types of mediums. This site is also available in other languages. I
I went to photos and searched South Dakota and came up with old photos including on girls playing on a sliding board. Pictures can also be downloaded.
3. Having grown up in Austin, MN where a home built by Frank Lloyd Wright, I was interested in researching Mr. Wright. I was able to view a selection of his work in a slideshow. It allows me to arrange the pictures in the order I wish for a presentation. I didn't see where you could add the description but it was indeed impressive. I showed my students CAMIO and works of art that might interest them.
You are so right, Kathy! We have all kinds of art before our eyes from all over the world. In some cases, we are even able to see it more closely than if we were in front of the piece in person! I hope your students like CAMIO. It is fun to do searches on things like "horse" and see such a variety of artistic expression. Thanks for your comments.
