Visual literacy refers to the ability to understand and create visual messages. It involves skills like interpreting visual symbols, thinking visually, and critical viewing of images. As images and visual media have become more prominent in the digital age, visual literacy skills are increasingly important for communication, learning, and thinking in the 21st century. Students today need to be able to both understand and create visual content across various digital platforms and media. Schools should focus on developing students' visual literacy abilities through infusing instruction of visual concepts and skills into the regular curriculum.
