Discovery Exercise Part 1

1. I learned that Sitting Bull was a Native American shaman and leader of the Hunpapa Sioux. He led two tribes of warriors against the United States soldiers at Little Bighorn. After the battle, he led his tribe into Canada where they remained until surrendering. He then toured with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. He was killed while refusing to abandon the traditions of the ritual Ghost Dance.

2. I searched Harney peak. I got four results. They were from Stanford University, University of Wyoming, New York State Library and the Minnesota Historical Society.

Discovery Exercise Part 2

1. Paul Revere made teaspoons, sugar bowls and covers, Federal Style Tea service, cream pot, sauce boat, goblets, Cann, wine quart and more!

2. Sioux
Everything from clothing to paintings, furniture to photography, jewelry to dolls!

3. I tried Jon Crane, Harvey Dunn, Thomas Kincaid...all with no results. So I tried Picasso, even though I am not a fan! :) There were 1016 results for Picasso.

4. I could see students researching a famous artist using this database. Not only can you see the artwork itself, but you see the date it was made and the museum it is available in.

5. I chose jewelry because everything else I was interested in was not found! (I must have strange art tastes!) I liked that you could pick favorites to review later, especially since there were literally thousands of options to look at! This allows you to compare and further narrow down your search. Lots of neat options from the favorites list.
