    Some of the key takeaways are that visual literacy is important for understanding and communicating in the 21st century, where much information is conveyed through images rather than just words. Visual literacy allows people to interpret, analyze and create visual content.

    Visual literacy is the ability to understand, interpret and create visual content such as images, diagrams and symbols. It involves decoding meaning from visual elements and techniques used in images.

    There are several techniques used in images to convey meaning, such as the size, placement and type of objects, as well as the setting. Important objects are usually large and in the foreground, while less important objects are smaller and in the background. Symbols and associations with certain objects or settings can also influence the interpretation.

    W hat is Visual Literacy?
    If you can read a map, draw a diagram or interpret
    symbols then you are visually literate.
    Visual literacy is the reading and writing of visual texts.
    Visual literacy is the ability to decode, interpret, create,
    question, challenge and evaluate texts that
    communicate with visual images as well as, or rather
    than words.
    Visual literacy plays a key role in many modes of
    communication so it is important to for us to understand
    within the classroom and for the real world.
    How do you READ images?
    Words are made up of particular letters to make a word which
    conveys meaning.
    Images are made up of many different techniques to give an
    intentional meaning to the viewer.
    Images are NOT random.
    You already READ images
    You pick out T-shirts based on your ability to read them
    You recognize which bathroom you should use by the sign
    You judge people and musicians based on their image
    You even choose clothes, music, cars, and mobile-phones
    based on the way they look- and the image youre going for!
    * Here is the kicker- you read these things subconsciously
    because youve grown up in the age of technology and media
    where everything is shown by VISUAL IMAGES!
    examples-
    Images can say a lot more..
    than just words in much faster time than it takes to read
    words which describes the image or idea or object or
    person!
    Why is this important?
    In the 21st century, a great deal of information is given to use through
    images.
    Where?
    Webpages
    Advertisements
    Posters
    Signs
    Television
    Movie covers
    Cell phones
    Everywhere
    How do you READ images?
    Objects & Shapes: represent people, animals,
    places, or objects
    Some objects are associated with certain emotions
    and feelings.
    An object can be a symbol e.g. a lion is an animal
    but can also be used to symbolize bravery.
    READING continued:
    Sizing: size of the object shows interest.
    Important objects are usually large and located in the
    foreground.
    Small objects that are in the background are considered less
    important.

    Setting: have symbolic significance and influence our


    response to a graphic.
    Dry, country pictures bring up ideas of ruggedness and
    hardship
    Soft, green, rural pictures suggest peace and richness
    Make a connection:
    Infographics play a key role in visual literacy. An
    infographic is a visualization that uses words and
    pictures to make a point or tell a story.
    Through graphs, charts, and tables, the creator exhibits
    evidence for analysis, and the analysis process can
    lead to deeper thinking and richer engagement.
    Thats the goal, right?
    Infographics in School?
    Infographics are being used more frequently and in
    more places, like news broadcasting, social media,
    and advertising.
    In education, infographics often appear in textbooks
    and handouts as static text features or graphic
    organizers. They support the material being presented,
    and allow for deeper learning/connections.
    How will we apply this new skill?
