Concept Map

The concept map I created is on Surrealism. The potential lesson I could teach is with a section of reading on Surrealism.

I have a subscription to Scholastic Art. I would ask the students to read a section on Rene Magritte. As they read, I would like them to think about making their own Surrealist art.  The students should think about what their idea is and how they would create it.

After the students read, I would ask them to create a concept map. This map would be to help make sense of what they just read and to brainstorm their own artwork. I would want them to highlight some of the main ideas from the reading. Then, I would ask the students to create bubbles that relate to their own artwork. For instance, juxtaposition of unrelated objects is a main concept in Surrealism. I would ask for them to explain juxtaposition on their map, but then think about what they might juxtapose in their own artwork.
