What is Visual Literacy?"Visual literacy is the ability to see, to understand, and ultimately to think, create, and communicate graphically. Generally speaking, the visually literate viewer looks at an image carefully, critically, and with an eye for the intentions of the image's creator. Those skills can be applied equally to any type of image: photographs, paintings and drawings, graphic art (including everything from political cartoons to comic books to illustrations in children's books), films, maps, and various kinds of charts and graphs. All convey information and ideas, and visual literacy allows the viewer to gather the information and ideas contained in an image, place them in context, and determine whether they are valid."Thibault, M. and Walbert, D. (n.d.). Reading images: an introduction to visual literacy.

What is Visual Memory?

Visual Memory is “your storehouse of familiar images.” –Amy Tucker Visual Literacy: Writing About Art
