The development of these competencies is fundamental to normal human learning. When developed, they enable a visually literate person to discriminate and interpret the visible actions, objects, symbols, natural or man-made, that he encounters in his environment. Through the creative use of these competencies, he is able to communicate with others. Through the appreciative use of these competencies, he is able to comprehend and enjoy the masterworks of visual communication.\u201d \u2013 John Debes, 1969<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Visuals come in an assortment of formats:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Advertisements<\/li>\n<li>Cartoons<\/li>\n<li>Charts<\/li>\n<li>Collages<\/li>\n<li>Comic books<\/li>\n<li>Diagrams<\/li>\n<li>Dioramas<\/li>\n<li>DVDs<\/li>\n<li>Graphic Novels<\/li>\n<li>Graphs<\/li>\n<li>Icons<\/li>\n<li>Magazines<\/li>\n<li>Maps<\/li>\n<li>Memes<\/li>\n<li>Multimodal Texts<\/li>\n<li>Photos<\/li>\n<li>Pictograms<\/li>\n<li>Political cartoons<\/li>\n<li>Signs<\/li>\n<li>Slide shows<\/li>\n<li>Storyboards<\/li>\n<li>Symbols<\/li>\n<li>Tables<\/li>\n<li>Timelines<\/li>\n<li>Videos<\/li>\n<li>Websites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/blog\/ccia-10-visual-literacy-strategies-todd-finley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/blog\/ccia-10-visual-literacy-strategies-todd-finley<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Demonstrate the ability to interpret, recognize, appreciate, and understand information presented through visible actions, objects and symbols, natural or man-made.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[100,98,99,95,96,97],"class_list":["post-1218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition","tag-advertisements","tag-graphs","tag-maps","tag-objects","tag-symbols","tag-tables"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1218"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1680,"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218\/revisions\/1680"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiciis.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
