Grade 9 Art - Day 60: "Intro to Visual Literacy"



















Last class we had a brief discussion about visual literacy.  I explained that it is defined in this way:

Images contain information and ideas, and visual literacy allows the viewer to gather the information and ideas contained in an image, and place them in context.

As we continue our investigation of this term, I would like to guide you to the following site:

This exercise will begin to test your visual literacy skills...and maybe even change the way that you look at things!
