    The Meaning and The Importance of " Visual Literacy": Horia Manolache

    Uploaded by

    Catalina Manolache
    The document discusses the meaning and importance of "visual literacy". The authors define visual literacy as having four requirements - the ability to see, understand, create, and communicate graphically. They state that there are two levels of understanding visual literacy, similar to traditional literacy, depending on the reader's training. The first level is identifying subjects and elements in visual content, while the second, and equally important level, is understanding and critical thinking. The authors provide examples of disciplines where these skills are important, such as science, language arts, and mathematics. They conclude by emphasizing the importance of knowing how to analyze and build upon specific approaches in order to visually communicate.
