1. There were numerous items, namely a tea urn (jr), federal style tea service, The Boston Massacre print (II), spoon (II), sugar bowl and cover, sugar bowl, creampot, The Bloody Massacre print (jr), teaspoon, sauceboat, goblet, cann, tankard, creampot, sugar urn, sugar basket, teapot, teapot, sugar urn, coffee urn, two handled covered bowl, teapot, sons of liberty bowl, and salver.
I noticed that sometimes the creator was named Paul Revere Jr. or Paul Revere II, though the years 1735-1818 were always the same. I wondered about that.
2. For the search term Sioux I got 63 items returned. There were photographs, paintings, clothing, household items, textiles, jewelry, drawings, sculpture, prints, books, and “other.”
3. I chose several artists. First I search for Michelangelo and got two returns, but neither of them was actually by him. Then I tried Leonardo D Vinci. I got 1 full page of returns. I then decided to try someone modern. With a search for Andy Warhol there were 129 returns, most created by him, but also I saw some of him by other artists.
4. This is a great resource for our art teachers and also artists in the community. The uses are numerous. Users can look at pieces of art without actually traveling to the art museums around the world. I noticed there were language buttons near the top of the page. I clicked on one. Some of the site changed languages, but the main information about the artwork remained in English.
5. Wow, that is really great. Educators and art students would find these features very useful.
