Visual+Literacy

Visual Literacy Visual Literacy is defined as the ability to understand and use images, including the ability to think, learn, and express oneself in terms of images (Braden, 1996)

To appropriately design and interpret visual materials requires a great number of skills and knowledge about visual design principles. Lohr (2008) suggested that the PAT model could help people achieve the goal of designing good visual materials. PAT stands for **P**erceptions, **A**ctions, and **T**ools. They are three basic concepts of visual design that can improve learner **//perceptions//** by using proper **//tools//** of design with the manipulation of appropriate **//actions//** of design.
