What is visual literacy?
If you can read a map, draw a diagram or interpret symbols like
or
then you are visually literate.
Visual literacy is the reading and writing of visual texts.
What are visual texts?
Click here for some examples.
A text is anything with which we make meaning. Books, websites, videos, even smiles and gestures can be thought of as texts.
A visual text makes its meanings with images, or with meaningful patterns and sequences.
For example, a diagram uses images, while a flow chart arranges information in meaningful sequences.
Visual texts range from diagrams to documentaries.
They can be printed (such as an atlas) or electronic (such as a DVD). They can be fiction (such as a movie) or nonfiction (such as a street map). Visual messages are everywhere: on street signs, in books, on television news and packaging. Even the buildings we inhabit and the clothes we wear convey visual messages.
Although visual texts make meaning with images, they don't have to be without words: in fact, words and images are often combined to make the meaning. Think of a map: the words are needed to name the places, while the images are needed to show where those places are and the distances between them.
