When first starting the reading I saw this wonderful map of what seemed to be someones idea of how modern art came to be. A list, that had direction due to the arrows, of what started the movement. You could trace non-geometrical abstract art or geometrical abstract art back to its origins. As I read on, I started to learn and realize the power of those arrows. How they directed my, the viewer to believe and understand that there was no interaction between two genres. That neo-impressionism was not effected by cubism. Or that cubism was not influenced by futurism. The arrows helped the viewer know that from one there could be many new genres of art, but often there was no communication between the two, it was more of an evolution of art not how it could and did truly interact.
I learned about the importance of lines and how they play an important role in maps. There can be different types of lines used to represent different data, or how the style of the lines play a large role in the information. Often when working with nouns and words, the lines need to aid in the design but not overpower the words/nouns and the message that is being shown. Thus the use of arrows and line weight often play a large role and are helpful tools.
