Visual Literacy
- Today's young adults feel comfortable with non-text visual media, from video games to graphical icons used with standard computer programs.
- Graphic Novels employ a highly cinematic approach to storytelling.
- Graphic Novels utilize combinations of text and pictures (sequential art) to convey messages in a manner unique to comics.
- Understanding comics requires a special type of visual
literacy,
which in turn offers a translatable skill in today's highly
graphical environment.
- Reading comics with a critical eye helps develop an appreciation for art and different artistic styles.
