About the workshop:

Drawing from life now means drawing our data! In this drawing class, data is the lively, vibrant model on the plinth before us.

Starting a data project through sketching by hand introduces novel ways of thinking, and leads to designs that are uniquely customised for the specific type of data problems you're working with. How would your approach within a data-driven project change if you started by sketching offscreen instead of jumping directly into visualisation software or code?

This intimate, two-session workshop is structured as follows:

Day 01 begins by providing a basic overview of data visualisation as seen through the lens of drawing. Next, participants undertake a series of fast-paced drawing challenges where they work with the constraints inherent in a single crayon or stick of charcoal, applying techniques found in traditional drawing classes to data visualisation and exploring quick strategies for experimentation to aid the creation of custom visualisation solutions.
