VISUAL LITERACY- A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Visual literacy “is the ability to evaluate, apply, or create conceptual visual representations. Skills include the evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of visual representations, to improve shortcomings, to use them to create and communicate knowledge, or to devise new ways of representing insights. The didactic approach consists of rooting visualization in its application contexts, i.e. giving the necessary critical attitude, principles, tools and feedback to develop their own high-quality visualization formats for specific problems (problem-based learning). The commonalities of good visualization in diverse areas, and exploration of the specificities of visualization in the field of specialization (through real-life case studies)”. Wikipedia

DEMONSTRATING CONTENT UNDERSTANDINGProcess: Developing imaginative ways to communicate meaning-

analogy, metaphor, abstraction, etc.

Sketching, note making, coming up with ways to use media-can happen after cut elements are created

Product: Demonstrating a meaningful understanding of concepts

Purposeful use of material and application

Conveys a point of view about the topic

Imaginative, original thinking, flexible

Understanding:

Artwork is relevant in communicating content understanding

Effective use of visual arts elements of design: line, color, shape, space

Scheffer and Rubenfeld discuss critical thinking habits and critical thinking skills. For each of the critical thinking skills shown below, they give a number of activity statements.

1. Analyzing •Separating or breaking a whole into parts to discover their nature, functional and relationships. "I studied it piece by piece" •"I sorted things out"

2. Applying Standards •Judging according to established personal, professional, or social rules or criteria. •"I judged it according to..."

3. Discriminating •Recognizing differences and similarities among things or situations and distinguishing carefully as to category or rank. •"I rank ordered the various..." •"I grouped things together"

4. Information Seeking •Searching for evidence, facts, or knowledge by identifying relevant sources and gathering objective, subjective, historical, and current data from those sources •"I knew I needed to lookup/study..." •"I kept searching for data."
