4. Thank you! And thanks for being so nice about the Goggle thing.

I really can't understand why anyone would think it's such a great idea...the whole point of a Challenge is to follow clues and discover new works. I love doing online art quizzes, some of which are pretty tough...I've been embarrassed more than once!

Hope to see you next week...

5. I have no camera on my phone so I just use the standard google

While doing a search for #6, the one with the sail boats, I ran across another painting from the same perspective, the same curve in the edge of the lake. Different artist, just the same view

8. Do you remember what its title was?

So many artists "borrow" if not out right steal stuff from other artists...I love finding them...

11. I could not refind it .......... sorry

[CTyankee]

15. No worries...just a passing thought...

6. What is "Goggle"?

It's something different than Google?
Thought it was just a misspelling.

7. An app specially-designed for cheating on the Friday Challenge :)

You can take a pic of an art image with your phone and a search engine will give you artist, title and other information. Not limited to art. Google it to learn more.

10. Thanks. Never heard of it before.

So basic googling is still allowed?

[CTyankee]

12. Of course! I love it when people google art! I do it all the time and love it.

I learn so much and it is such a great tool for people to find art they never knew existed...and I am one of those...one thing leads to another, tho, and pretty soon you are off to the races, so to speak. It can get time consuming...

13. Confession time

I've stayed away fro the last few challenges (and you know from all my posts in the previous ones how much I adore them) because I had started to think you disapproved of people who googled for answers.
And though sometimes I can get something right off, because I remember it, sometimes I need to jog that memory or I did not know it and have to discover it by other means (such as when I used a combo of religious and European traditions to find the Caravaggio).

Always, I learn something new, whether a new dimension to an old favorite or about an artist I wasn't familiar with or only knew slightly.

I've missed taking part and look forward to doing so again.

14. Oh, I'm sorry, Suffragette! Of course, you have to google to refresh your memory or

just put together the pieces! That's fun, too. Kind of detective work, going from one hint to another and finding more and more!

I think Google is the best thing that has happened to art education in ages! It gives art to everybody!

16. Wonderful. See you at the next one!
