2. Visual literacy is a way of interpreting images to figure out
the meaning that the visual is trying to convey to its
audience.
It involves not only processing these images, but using
critical thinking skills and thought process to determine the
underlying meaning of the visual.
Visual literacy is becoming even more important in our
ever changing world. It is no longer enough to
communicate through reading and writing. It takes more
now as technology is evolving and has become such a part
of our everyday lives. Communication has become more
complex and our ability to take in this data and interpret
it is quickly becoming the way in which we communicate.
