This concept map is designed to outline a specific art movement, Pop Art. I would use this concept map when introducing the pop art movement. I think having this type of visual aid and reference can be beneficial for students in a variety of ways. As the teacher I would use this to introduce a topic, movement, or theme; however, students could use this tool in several different ways. Each student could be assigned a specific work of art on the concept map to research and share with the class, students could work in groups to fill in artists or titles of artwork that would be left blank, or the concept map could be used as a study guide. I think that this type of concept map works extremely well with art history. I would like to create a simple outline of each artistic genre, students could then use them as a timeline, study guide, or even an in-class activity to organize the concept maps in the correct order. Not only does the concept map function as a student resource, but it allows for students to physically see several pieces of artwork from the same artistic movement side by side. This enable class discussion and critique of the similarities and differences between the different works of art.
