Art Circles is an app  from the commercial site www.art.com that can mat and frame art prints that you buy from them. You do not need to buy anything to use this app.

Viewing circles--connected images by colors, words, themes, or curators is fun and can certainly generate a variety of discussions.

I have used this app with my student teaching classes and they are immediately engaged with the variety of connections.
