Digital Diagrams

I have not used digital diagrams in my art lesson plans in the past, nor have I been taught by using digital diagrams in the art classroom.  The only example I can think of would be the color wheel in art.  It's a type of diagram, but it's laid out a bit differently than the typical diagram.  Although, I have had experience with diagrams in the science, and even the history classroom. Even then I do not think they were digital, just drawn diagrams or from a classroom textbook.  Below is an example of a digital diagram. 

I have learned through TPTE 486 that applying digital diagrams to lesson plans is a very helpful tool.  You can use digital diagrams for subjects that require a lot of information.  This way the information will be easily written out in a visual organizer for students to better understand.  I learned it's also better to incorporate digital diagrams into high school lesson plans, which require more information than elementary grades. 

For my future art classroom, I would use digital diagrams in high school art history lessons.  In art, the only affective way to use digital diagrams would be in art history.  Art history is a loaded subject area, this way you can easily organize each art movement into an easy to read visual diagram.
