  • All students, not just art students, need to be visually literate.
  • Visual literacy is a set of abilities that enables an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media.
  • A visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture.
