Visual Literacy What Makes a Great Photo?

What is Visual Literacy? Different Elements! 2. How is the image interpreted? 3. Why is it important to have visual literacy?

Definition: ► Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, negotiate, and make meaning from information presented in the form of an image. Visual literacy is based on the idea that pictures can be “read” and that meaning can be communicated through a process of reading. interpretimagepicturesinterpretimagepictures ► Source:

Visual Literacy Elements ► Composition ► Depth of Field ► Download ► Image Size ► Rule of Thirds ► Headroom ► Foreground ► Background ► Tone ► Shape ► Motion ► Portrait ► Landscape ► Resolution ► Symmetry ► Asymmetry

Composition ► Being aware of what is in the picture and what isn’t. ► What is intended for the viewer to see?

Depth of Field ► All or most of the picture is in focus from front to back.

Download ► Transferring an image from one location to another.

Image Size ► How big the picture is in pixels.

Rule of Thirds ► How you position your subject in the picture. ► Place your subject at one-third the distance from the edge of the frame.

Headroom ► Appropriate blank space above the subject.

Foreground ► What the viewer can see closest in a picture.

Background ► The furthest thing away in the picture.

Tone ► Set by the intensity of light and dark.

Shape ► The basic geometric shapes that appear in the image’s composition.

Motion ► Illusion of motion within a visual image.

Portrait ► Focuses on the subject

Landscape ► Focuses on the landscape.

Resolution ► Number of pixels that are in an image. ► Higher pixels mean a richer image.
