Abstract
Data visualization is an important creative method for authors with a background in art and design to communicate information effectively. To maintain the accuracy of data, authors typically apply their personal creativity carefully in their work. However, creative and diverse narrative training is essential for students in art and design schools. Starting from the conflict, the course “Content & Diagram” was initially introduced. This award-winning innovative course was initiated and sponsored by the China Academy of Art. The course is designed for level 2 graduate students in the Department of Visual Communication, Art, and Technology and Industrial Design. It aims to cultivate basic abilities in systematic thinking, logical deduction, and genealogical structure capabilities. The course is based on two essential units: "content production & edition” and “graphic deduction & induction”. Taking “The Posture of Myth: The Song of Fiber in Collective Speech” as an example, this paper demonstrates how the authors communicate a large-scale graphic narrative to viewers through practical application in the course “Content & Diagram”.
