WHAT IS VISUAL LITERACY? “Visual literacy is the reading and
writing of visual texts.” – Steve Moline
A text is anything with which we make meaning. Books, websites, videos, even smiles and gestures can be thought of as texts. A visual text makes its meanings with images, or with meaningful patterns and sequences.
![Page 3: Visual Literacy and Common Core](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051118/5681652e550346895dd7b185/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
“Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, negotiate and make meaning from information presented in the form of an image, extending the meaning of literacy which commonly signifies interpretation of a written or printed text. Visual literacy is based on the idea that pictures can be “read” and that meaning can be communicated through a process of reading.” -John Debes

VISUAL LITERACYAuthors and illustrators make choices. These choices are purposeful and convey meaning. We read and interpret the choices they make, sometimes on a conscious level and sometimes on an unconscious level. The more we can become conscious of how these choices impact our understanding, the better we are able to understand.

COME AWAY FROM THE WATER SHIRLEYSometimes the pictures and text have a contradictory, rather than complementary relationship
![Page 11: Visual Literacy and Common Core](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051118/5681652e550346895dd7b185/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF ILLUSTRATIONS?1. Establish setting: Twilight comes
twice, Owl Moon2. Define and develop character: Ira
sleeps over, Lilly’s purple plastic purse, No David!
3. Reinforce text 4. Provide a different viewpoint: Lost,
Rosie’s walk 5. Provide interesting asides:
Goldilocks and the three hares
![Page 12: Visual Literacy and Common Core](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051118/5681652e550346895dd7b185/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
6. Extend or develop plot: Where the wild things are
7. Establish mood -Polar Express, Dawn
8. Provide a competing story: Come away from the water Shirley

WHAT MEDIA ARE USED IN ILLUSTRATIONS? How does an artist’s choice of media impact
our understanding? Why does an artist choose watercolor vs. oil paint? What does the lightness and transparency of watercolor convey vs. the heavier, more opaque oil paint? How does the choice of media support, complement and extend the story, mood, setting and characters?

GRAPHIC BOOKS & NOVELS Artists increasingly have made use of the
visual layout and linear qualities of the art found in comic books.

AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR STUDYUnderstanding an author and illustrator’s choices through an author/illustrator study.
![Page 27: Visual Literacy and Common Core](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051118/5681652e550346895dd7b185/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
MARLA FRAZEEMentor authors not mentor texts. (Katie Wood Ray)
Authors and illustrators make choices. Consider the choices they make and why.
If kids see themselves as authors and illustrators, they can’t help but learn from text and illustrations.
Read “About the author” and “About the illustrator”
There is a life behind the book.
![Page 28: Visual Literacy and Common Core](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051118/5681652e550346895dd7b185/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR
Interview with Marla: http://www.readingrockets.org/books/interviews/frazee/
![Page 29: Visual Literacy and Common Core](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051118/5681652e550346895dd7b185/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Use language that assigns decision making to the author and illustrator:
Look at the colors Marla used. Look at the design. Do you think it took her a long time to do that? Get the students to think about Marla making the illustrations (or Sarah writing the book)
Nurture a relationship between author, illustrator and reader.

BOOKS ILLUSTRATED BY MARLA
Marla: “It’s different when the words come out of someone else’s brain. Illustrating is like being on a high wire. The text is the net beneath me. I can play up there more. If it’s my own words and pictures, I play with both and it might not work at all. I’m lucky to go back and forth. I like to alternate.”

ASK:Why did the author chose the
medium s/he did?Does the media match the story?What does the media convey that
words cannot or how does the medium help the words convey something in particular?
Does the style of art match the story?Does the font/lettering choice
contribute?

VISUAL LITERACY AND CCCS The Teaching Channel https
://www.teachingchannel.org/videos?landing_page=Common+Core+Landing+Page&gclid=COWaiomb-bcCFU2CQgod_S4AOQ, has a series of videos about Common Core Standards. A good overview of the Common Core Standards is: https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/how-to-read-common-core
![Page 40: Visual Literacy and Common Core](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051118/5681652e550346895dd7b185/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
CALIFORNIA ELA COMMON CORE STANDARDS Begin by looking at the Anchor Standards rather than
grade level standards. This is a more coherent and cohesive curriculum
designed backwards. Each grade level spirals and builds toward the college and career standards.
Greater balance between reading (and writing) informational and literary texts.
Better integration of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Listening and speaking standards will receive more emphasis in the new assessments.
Every content area is responsible for teaching literacy. Digital literacy is important aspect of 21st century
learning

WEBB’S DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE (DOK) Another change in CCCS is the use of Webb’s Depth
