Learn About the Data Used in This Project
Database
The information was entered into a searchable database to organize and compare the careers of each artist.
Structured Data
The organization and analysis of the data revealed the elements from the artists' careers that could be compared and tracked.
Visualizations
Visual representations of the artists' careers were generated from this selected information.
Star Diagram
Each artist's career is unique. Artists have diverse experience in teaching, performing, writing, or exhibiting. Each activity from an artist's résumé was categorized and chronologically charted as a "Star Diagram." This is a visual representation of their distinct careers. No two Stars are the same. However, artists with similar experiences will share common patterns and colors. Refer to the color legend to see what kind of work experiences each artist reported.
Globe Diagram
Some McKnight artists are well traveled and recognized throughout the world. Other artists have developed their career in a focused region. An artist's Globe maps their activities and their work chronologically and geographically. A particular point along the artist's Globe may represent where the artist's work was exhibited, where they received an award, or where they studied.
