As part of the UCLA Digital Humanities program’s capstone course, students and a faculty member collaborated on a web-based project that offers more insight into the collection of Andean ceramics at the Fowler Museum at UCLA. For the project, they experimented with different digital tools that allowed them to create and analyze different data visualizations. This enhanced dataset was used to generate multiple data visualizations that highlighted the patterns within the collection. The students also created 3D models of selected pots that offer a different view of the objects, compared to looking at them on display in the museum.
