Types of Map Art
Mapart is typically distinguished by two criteria, elevation and materials.
Elevation
Maps can be
Stair/Staircase
Flat
Dual Layer
Materials
While you can map maps out of thousands of combinations of blocks, due to ease maps are frequently made fully or mostly of carpets. While it is standard to identify carpet maps as such, other categories are not fully defined.
Some possible distinctions on materials
'Carpet
Maps made fully or mostly of carpet'''''''
Fullblock
Mostly made of blocks other than carpet. Also used to mean "All Blocks" or no restriction on color
'Piston Clearable
Refers to a list of materials that are all breakable by pistons. Usually used in conjunction with a machine that breaks the map when it is completed.'
Carpet +
Mostly Carpet + any other blocks that may have been used. If a map needs a specific color/s that carpets cant manage, a map maker might choose to use a "fullblock" for just those color/s and carpets for the rest.

How to Make Map Art
There are many great resources online for this, and different map makers have their own processes.
Most map makers use MapartCraft to convert images into schematics.
