  Teaching visualization design involve making students familiar and make them
work with visualization models, framework and perspectives. Visualization
research accommodates a plethora of perspectives emerging from researchers of
varied backgrounds. These diverse range of perspectives give rise to multiples
models, frameworks and perspectives to teach visualization design. In this
paper, we look at an approach to visualization teaching by using
improvisational techniques. The basic idea is to design a visualization without
using an existing predefined model. Since improvisation, by definition, is not
a model or a framework, this work presents a reflection on how improvisation
can be a way of teaching visualization design.
