Visualization Improvisation
Abstract
Teaching visualization design involve making students familiar and make them work with visualization models, framework and perspectives. Visualization research accommodates a plethora of perspectives emerging from researchers of varied backgrounds. These diverse range of perspectives give rise to multiples models, frameworks and perspectives to teach visualization design. In this paper, we look at an approach to visualization teaching by using improvisational techniques. The basic idea is to design a visualization without using an existing predefined model. Since improvisation, by definition, is not a model or a framework, this work presents a reflection on how improvisation can be a way of teaching visualization design.
