The on-line visual literacy project
The result of a university course entitled The principles of visual literacy, this site presents information about the significance of visual awareness as a key element to communication. The site opens with an animated graphic requiring Quicktime. A succinct, general introduction to visual literacy follows listing basic elements: Dot; Line; Shape; Direction; Texture; Hue; Saturation; Value; Scale; Dimension; and Motion. Each is given a detailed description and is well supported by graphics and animated images drawn from art, motion pictures, print advertising and other media. For each page, References provides a comprehensive list of text and image sources. Teachers will find this site invaluable in developing an understanding of the various elements of the composition of graphics, and their significance in positioning viewers in a particular way. T.
