What Is Visual Literacy?
Wikipedia defines Visual Literacy as follows:
Visual literacy is the ability to
interpret, negotiate, and
make meaning from information presented in the
form of an image, extending the meaning of literacy,
which commonly signifies interpretation of a written or
printed text.
Visual literacy is based on the idea that pictures
can
be “read” and that meaning can be through a process
of reading.
Visual Literacy…..
Imagine a hot dog…..
Think about it
Visualize it in you mind..
Close your eyes….
What do you see…?
Is this what you were
visualizing???
Visual Literacy = Reading Pictures
* ISTE http://www.iste.org/docs/excerpts/MEDLIT-excerpt.pdf
Visual literacy has been defined as the
“ability to understand, interpret and
evaluate visual messages” (Bristor & Drake, 1994).
According to Wikipedia (2011), “Visual literacy is based
on the idea that pictures can be ‘read’ and
that eaning can be communicated through
a process of reading.”
Visual literacy:
Reflects our ability to understand and produce visual messages, Through objects,
actions or symbols.
noun 1. the ability to apprehend or interpret pictures or other visual images.
"The ability to understand and produce visual
images" and "learning how images
convey meaning."
--teachers.ash.org.au
--teachers.ash.org.au
http://ccb.lis.illinois.edu/Projects/youth/literacies/visual1.html
The ability to interpret and
understand visual texts, with "texts" being
broadly defined as any print visual item, including
artwork, picture books, advertising, web sites , or
any other item that can be visually interpreted.
Canadian Speed Controls - Speed
controls being used in Canada ..
How's this for effective speed control?
This is an actual speed control device that is
currently in use.
It is MUCH cheaper than speed cameras, radar
Competencies for digital literacy can be classified
according to three main principles:
Understand.
Use.
Create.
A visually literate individual is able to:
http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/visualliteracy

and efficiently
Interpret and analyze the meanings of images and visual media
Evaluate images and their sources
Use images and visual media effectively
Design and create meaningful images and visual media

The Rules of the Game
1. Submit a sequence of five photographs
that create a story.
2. Choose any subject, but the entire
sequence should visually tell a story.
3. A title is the only words that can be
used.
4. Rely on the photographs to bring the
story to life )
The following guidelines are for narrative.
A good story has characters in action with a beginning,
middle, and an ending.
A lot of information can be given in a single photograph,
enhancing the limitations of five photographs for your
story.
Location, time, and atmosphere aid viewer imagination.
Keep standards of pictorial beauty, but pack as many
story telling elements in one photograph as possible to
develop an action.

Visual Storytelling: 5
Cool Projects That
Combine Art and
Writing
by Dana Truby
1. The Portrait Photo Essay
Creating a portrait photo essay is a
combination of art and journalism.
What story do you want to tell?
Each individual photo contributes to the
theme, the structure and the message of
your final work.
The Portrait Photo Essay
A photo essay is a wonderful way to educate and engage the
public.
Whereas one photo can catch a viewer's interest, multiple photos
can tell an in-depth story.
Creating a portrait photo essay is a combination of art and
journalism.
You begin with planning.
What story do you want to tell?
Each individual photo contributes to the theme, the structure and the
message of your final work.
For a portrait essay, decide what subjects to photograph and
interview. How much text will you use?
How will you present your work.
Examples: Humans of New York,
The People You Meet at McDonald's.

What is Media Literacy?
… the ability to
access, analyze,
evaluate and create
media in a variety of
forms.
Our Town
Media literacy skills can
help students:
- Develop critical thinking skills
- Identify target marketing strategies
- Name the techniques of persuasion used
- Understand how media messages shape
our culture and society
- Recognize what the media maker wants us to believe or do
- Recognize bias, spin, misinformation, and lies
- Discover the parts of the story that are not being told
- Evaluate media messages based on our own experiences,
skills, beliefs, and values
- Create and distribute our own media messages
A media-literate individual is able to:
Produce, create, and successfully communicate
information in all its forms, not just print.
Media literacy encompasses both analysis and
expression.
It enables students to express their own ideas
through multiple forms of media (e.g., traditional
print, electronic, digital, user-generated, and
wireless) and helps students make connections
between comprehension and inference making
in print, visual, and audio media.
Multimedia presentations may be viewed in
person, on stage, projected, transmitted, or
played locally with a media player.

Fly With Me
Lyrics from "Tinker Bell"
Performed by Kari Kimmel
There is magic everywhere
In the air you breathe
It's true for every living thing
Why flowers bloom and all birds sing
It's in the voice that guides you on
The light that leads you home
It's in the moment your wings grow
And you'll let go
When you fly with me
Let your heart believe
Dreams can take you anywhere
If you just set them free
When you're true to who you are
You will always find your star
All the wonders you will see
When you fly with me
When you fly with me
Let your heart believe
Dreams can take you anywhere
If you just set them free
When you're true to who you are
You will always find your star
All the wonders you will see
When you fly with me
You'll find your place
Just take a leap of faith
Paint a rainbow in the sky
Dance on every cloud
The world below is beautiful
Keep it like a precious jewel
Put a smile upon the sun
It shines for everyone
Sing the moon a lullaby every night
When you fly with me
Let your heart believe
Dreams can take you anywhere
If you just set them free
When you're true to who you are
You will always find your star
All the wonders you will see
When you fly with me
Wonders will never cease
When you fly with me

'This I Believe'
http://www.npr.org/thisibelieve/orig_invitation.html
What is a This I Believe essay?
Our project is about telling the stories of our core values. But rather than
starting with a belief statement of something you believe, start by
telling a compelling story about how you came to hold an important
personal belief—something that guides your daily living. Your story
can illustrate a time that your belief was challenged, or how that belief
shapes your daily activities. Try sharing one story about the roots of
your core values, instead of composing a list of all of your beliefs.
Just make sure your essay is about your own experiences, not simply
an opinion about a social issue.

from the book:
The Backdoor to Enlightenment:
Eight Steps to Living Your Dreams
and Changing Your World
For every nine people who denounce innovation, only one will
encourage it.
For every nine people who do things the way they have always
been done, only one will ever wonder if there is a better way.
For every nine people who stand in line in front of a locked
building, only one will ever come around and check the back
door.
Our progress as a species rests squarely on the shoulders of that
tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are told are
valuable.
Person 10 determines for himself what has value.
