Visual literacy is defined as the ability to interpret and generate visuals to communicate ideas. It involves input strategies like interpreting visuals and output strategies like creating visuals. Visuals are useful in instruction as they are universal, motivate learners, simplify complex ideas, and allow some learners to comprehend visually. Elements of visualization include data, information, concepts, strategies, metaphors, and compound visuals. It is important to teach visual literacy as visual elements are used in many texts, can communicate information more clearly than words, and are important for interpreting media. Teachers should provide environments and materials to develop visual skills while allowing students to create their own visual messages.
