Data visualization is a foundational data science skill. One way to help students begin to learn about data visualization is to tap in to their innate creative instincts. This activity can be used to get students to start thinking about how data can be visualized. Ideally, the instructor would give fairly vague advise, perhaps sketching very simplistic plots and figures, so the students can explore visualization naively.
