“Visual literacy is the ability to see, to understand, and ultimately to think, create, and communicate graphically” (Thibault & Walbert, pg. 1, 2003).
Similar to literacy, visual literacy requires more than one level of skill (Thibault & Wlabert, 2003). Please refer to my graphic organiser that I have created based on the work of Melissa Thibault and David Walbert (2003) to ascertain the differing visual literacy levels.
In order to create this image I used Microsoft smart art, took a screen shot of the image, pasted the image into another word doc, cropped the image, compressed picture and deleted cropped areas, saved and uploaded image onto blog. It is a pretty simple process
to follow and I am sure once individuals complete the task often it will become relatively simple for them too.
Provided in the table below is a list of skills that are acquired, utilised and further developed through Visual Literacy.

As I study English and History I am constantly required to study visual sources. I would like to share with you the mnemonic that I use to scaffold my critical analysis of resources.
I have decided for this week to complete my reflection through a pod cast as this is the digital tool i have had the least experience in using / creating.
