The Art of Data Visualization (Spring 2014) by Kaiser Fung.
February 8, 2014 – March 29, 2014
Saturday
9:00AM – 12:00PM
Description:
Data visualization is storytelling in a graphical medium. The format of this course is inspired by the workshops used extensively to train budding writers, in which you gain knowledge by doing and redoing, by offering and receiving critique, and above all, by learning from each another. Present your project while other students offer critique and suggestions for improvement. The course offers immersion into the creative process, the discipline of sketching and revising, and the practical use of tools. Develop a discriminating eye for good visualizations. Readings on aspects of the craft are assigned throughout the term.
Kaiser is teaching this course at NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
