Data as Art

Shown is a bar graph featuring orange bars on a light blue background.

At the top is the title, “Student Birthdays” in red capital letters. Below that is the subtitle, “by Month” in black. The Y axis starts at 0 and goes up to 25 in intervals of 5. The X axis are the months of year in order from left to right. Each of the bars has its value at the top in black. January has 22 student birthdays; February has 8; March has 12; April has 20; May has 16; June has 19; July has 8; August has 4; September has 2; October has 8; November has 18; and December has 22.

Shown are a series of vertical stripes whose colours range from dark blue to dark red.

The stripes on the left hand side of the image range from dark to medium blue. Approximately halfway through the image the stripes lighten. Three-quarters of the way from left to right the stripes darken into red, and the last several stripes on the far right of the image deepen into a dark red that borders on maroon.

Shown is a densely populated bar graph. The Title at the top reads “Global temperature change.” The subtitle reads “Relative ot average of 1971-2000 (℃)”

On the Y axis, the label ranges from -0.6 to 0.6, bottom to top. The X axis is labeled by year, beginning in 1850 at the left and ranging to 2021 at the far right. The bars whose values are below 0 are in blue, which lighten the closer they are to 0. The bars whose values are above 0 are red, darkening as they go further above 0. Up until approximately 1980 the bars are blue, although they begin to lighten in a trend beginning around 1940. Around 2000 the bars darken, becoming much darker a few years before 2021.

Shown is a colour infographic that illustrates a Tomatosphere Seed Investigation.

The title, Tomatosphere Seed Investigation, is printed in large red letters across the top of the illustration. The subtitle, How Does Exposure to the Space Environment Affect the Number of Tomato Seeds That Germinate? is in smaller white letters on a black banner underneath.

Left of the title, a hand holds a pile of soil with a small tomato plant growing from it. Right of the title is a larger green tomato plant in soil.

The three panels below are bordered in red.

The first panel shows a red icon of a human figure with head and shoulders visible. Its speech bubble is black with white letters. At the top of the bubble, in large letters is the title "What we did". In smaller letters below, is the text: "On April 4, we planted our seeds in peat pellets. We observed the seeds and recorded on a chart when they germinated." Below the speech bubble, on a beige background, is the text: "To make sure it was a fair test, gave all of the peat pots the same amount of water each day." At the bottom left corner of the panel, in a green rectangle, is the text: "We were surprised that the seeds were so small!" To the right of this rectangle is an illustration of a hand, in black, with red seeds in it and a magnifying glass over top.

The second panel is a black rectangle with the title Did You Know? in large green letters. In smaller white letters below is the text: The tomato plants used in this investigation are called Roma tomatoes. In a beige rectangle below is the black text: Our plants even had fruit! We used our tomato plants to make space tomato sauce! To the right of this text is a red illustration of a tomato next to a bottle.

The third panel, on the bottom, is double the size of the other two, with a white background. A beige banner along the top has the title: Results from the seed investigation. A speech bubble on the top left reads, "2017. We saw that the Type G seeds germinated a bit better than the type H seeds." Below is an illustration of a red packet labelled G and a green packet labelled H, with seeds pouring out of them. Under the red packet is the number 29. Under the green packet is the number 31. 

To the right is a line graph. The Y axis is labelled number of seeds from 0 to 30. The X axis is labelled Dates in April. A climbing red line is labelled Type G seeds. This starts on April 7 and stretches up to about 23 seeds. A climbing green line is labelled Type H seeds. It starts on April 8 and stretches up to 20 seeds. 

A thick black stripe across the bottom of the infographic says, in white letters: We learned that the Type G seeds had been on the International Space Station!

Shown is a relief map coloured brightly in blue, purple, yellow, red, and white.

Regions on the map that are below sea level or are water are coloured in blue. There is one large lake in the bottom right corner, some small ponds in the bottom left corner, a large collection of thin lakes in the top right corner, and small amounts of water in the top left and along the top border near the center.

Roughly two-thirds of the way down, a range of large hills and small peaks are coloured in purple, surrounded by dark red foothills. The top third of the image is dominated by a mass of tall white peaks with smaller purple peaks surrounding them. A branch of purple small peaks leads off through the top right of the image. Lower dark red foothills lead off through the top left of the image. The areas between the foothills is coloured yellow. On the far right side of the image is a wide plateau coloured yellow-red.

Shown is a large map of musical genres.

The bottom of the image contains the title, in stylized neon blue letters: “Ishkurs Guide To Electronic Music.” This title is repeated in a large clear area in the top left of the image. The top of the image is a range of years going from “1900s” on the far left to “2010s” on the far right. The rest of the image contains musical genres that are connected together with lines and placed on the image corresponding to the decade when they were developed. The major genres are displayed in bold golden font, and the subgenres of these are displayed in smaller white text. Each of the major genres is represented by different coloured lines along the continuum.
