Visual Stuff

Loved the Periodic Table of Visualization - ha ha, visual of visuals.  I like this all together but as always, if you don't know the creator's vocabulary, you might spend a while searching for the type of visual device best utilized for your info. I get the impression that you have to know what you need when you do a web search for these tools.
Here are some of the Visualization tools:

Tagxedo of "Whole New Mind"

• word clouds - description of artwork, descriptions of Ps and Es ( Tagul can use custom shapes!) 

After reviewing the various word cloud tools, it seems like they primarily target lower Blooms thinking skills. That said, these might be perfect ways to review or initially apply new concepts in art to verbal visual.  visual thesaurus - map of word synonyms

Graphic organizers always sound cool to me but somehow seem too complex to create - also idk how you'd best use the info documented in one.. The link below does suggest specific uses for certain types so this is a chart worth having.

graphic organizers - explore principles and elements of art in an artwork (in class) - a spider map?

here's another set of organizers -  Pacific Learning  (the url in the class wiki doesnt work)  and Eduplace's set, Freeology's set  which are cute but very specific,  a set of organizers to select by their visual arrangment, and this for making your own printable versions.

OK.  So the above organizers are means towards an end so you select accordingly.  Mind Maps are records of ideas or relationships - and my bet is that Mind maps would be more meaningful in the art room. The link is to a scoop it site which has a great collection of ideas for using the mind maps. SO here's a mindmap of Daniel Pink's Whole New Mind , just to get an idea of how it could look. This is so awesome - Mindmap ART!!!! Here's a cool one on creative intelligence
