Reading Photos, Reading Life
  • Visual Literacy and A Raisin in the Sun

2
What is Visual Literacy?
  • Visual Literacy is ability to read non-print
    visual texts. For example, photographs,
    paintings, sculptures and movies.
  • When we look at pictures we infer ideas about
    what is happening and what is not happening in
    the non-print visual text.
  • These ideas come from the history we know and our
    own personal thoughts and ideas.

What is the aim of Visual Literacy?
  • The purpose of being able to read a non-print
    text is to help you make connections between the
    things you already know to the things you are
    going to be learning.
  • Being able to make these connections helps you to
    truly learn and know things.
