5+Visual+Literacy

Visual Literacy is the ability to find meaning in imagery. "Visual literacy usually begins to develop as a viewer finds his/her own relative understanding of what he/she confronts, usually based on concrete, circumstantial evidence. It eventually involves considering the intentions of the maker, applying systems for thinking and rethinking one's opinions and acquiring a body of information to support conclusion and judgments."
