Apple Glyph

Glyphs are fairly new to me, so perhaps they are new to you too. A glyph, as far as I understand it, is a visual representation of data (or an art project that tells you stuff). Each part of the project means something, so you can analyze your data by looking at the project.

For our apple glyph the color of your apple indicates gender, the number of leaves shows how many people are in your family, a stem means you like to climb trees and a worm means you like to eat apples.

So next we will analyze the data and, just by looking at the apples, figure out if there are more boys or girls, or count how many people like to climb trees or eat apples.

I might change it a little for next year; it really does look better if everyone starts with a white apple because then the colors show up better

    Interesting! I guess it's true: you learn something new every day - no matter how old you are! :-)
