Quote: "Visual literacy is a learned "reading" of images. Semiotics is the study of how the reading of signs and symbols together communicate complicated ideas in the form of codes."
Opinion: I chose this quote because it informs me that visual literacy is a learned reading. This quote tells me that by looking at some picture you can draw conclusions, make discussions, while integrating other sensory experiences. They enable visual literate students to discriminate, and interpret the visible actions, objects, symbols or natural and man made that he/she experiences in their environment. Through this creative use, students can use this to communicate with others, while being able to comprehend and enjoy visual communication. Visual literacy uses colors, icons, words, genres, and other various media communications. I believe by using visual literacy that students can gain more knowledge and better communications skills. Say you were to look at a picture, and were ask to make assumptions and how the picture portrays itself to you. By doing this you use other senses and allow yourself to make conclusions on what this picture means to you.
