Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, understand and create visual content effectively. It involves recognising and analysing visual elements, such as images, graphics and videos, to communicate and comprehend information.
How many images do you see each day? A hundred? A thousand? Maybe more?
We all encounter a multitude of images every day, but how do we interpret them? Children in particular are bombarded with images – with little guidance, how can they hope to make sense of the world around them?
Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, understand and create visual content effectively. It involves recognising and analysing visual elements, such as images, graphics and videos, to communicate and comprehend information.
At Art UK we believe that art can be a pathway to becoming visually literate in our digital age. We support children to hone these essential skills so they can develop critical thinking, effective communication and cultural understanding.
Visual literacy is crucial for lifelong learning in an image-driven world. Our aim is to support every school child to be visually literate by 2030, creating confident, capable and empathetic young people.
