I will be discussing Visual Literacy, primarily I will be adding an education section to discuss how Visual Literacy is being integrated with our education system.[edit]
Education[edit]
There are many different formats of visual literacy and also many different ways of teaching students how to interpret visual literacy. Questions to be asked when looking at visuals can be "What is going on in this photograph?" and "What comes to mind when you first look at this photograph?".[1] This allows students to begin the analyzing process. When looking at visuals, students should be able to see, understand, think, create and communicate graphically. In order to do all, the student must always carefully observe. [2]
Martin Scorsese, director and filmmaker, emphasizes how children should begin developing visual literacy skills at an early age. This involves exploring how ideas and emotions are expressed and the use of lighting to create a emotional or physiological point. He explains how there is a need for children to understand these concepts. [3] Visual literacy is taught in many schools and is becoming a more popular subject throughout the years. With technology, images and visual presentations are flourishing more than ever.
