Sight is our most important sense, since it gives us the ability to identify and interpret the world around us. We are given visual experiences from the moment we are born. Colour, light and shape are vitally important to the developing child who wishes to make sense of the world around him. Children must have a safe and secure base in their homes to enable them to explore the world that they see and to understand the images that they see.

Visual literacy is the ability to construct meaning from reading images and, as such, it becomes a major form of communication since images are used as powerful tools for communicating messages in a media saturated age where visual information has dominated the world. As people need skills to be able to interpret these messages being visually literate is crucial and should be part of the teaching curriculum together with textual reading and computer literacy since it enhances critical thinking thinking.

Visual literacy is the ability to interpret images. It is very important to be able to decode visual messages, even from an early age, since in the new millennium we are bombarded by a continuous stream of images almost round the clock. It should definitely be included in the school curriculum since children should be able to comprehend that images are not "innocent" and convey messages which usually express the creator's point of view. Being able to dispute these meanings, improves critical thinking skills.-Maria Emmanouilidou

I believe that visual literacy is the ability to interpret images , to "read" them as if they were texts, to understand any underlying messages. I think it is very important because, after all "an image equals a thousand words" as we say, an image can give us more meaning than a lengthy text could in a very short time. I believe it  should be a part of the school curriculum as  images are everywhere around us, especially now, with the extensive use of the internet and all sorts of electronic devices. It is something that children can greatly benefit from. Katerina Daikou

In my opinion, visual literacy is the ability to process information in the form of images. It is definitely important, since an increasing amount of information is presented in visual forms. Making visual literacy a part of the school curriculum would help students understand, evaluate and use information and ideas in the form of images.

Visual literacy is the ability to read images.
I believe that it very important as images are all around us and as ''A picture is worth a thousand words''.
Undoubtedly, it should be part of the school curriculum as it will help children use their imagination, be creative, express their feelings, emotions, thoughts and ideas. Also, it will allow them to think critically, to interpret messages, to communicate with others.
Therefore, we should ''look between the lines and read between the words''.

Visual Literacy is the ability to construct meaning and make sense of everything we see. We take information with all our senses but it is mainly through our eyes that we receive 90% of it and can process it immediately in our brain. VL should be taught to children as they consume images in a great degree through their social media, so they should be trained as to what they see and learn how to "read" visual images.

Sight is the ability to view and interpret images around us and make connections. I believe it is important to teach this ability in class since it is the first fundamental form of communication for an infant. In a world mostly based on images, students should be able to critically "read" an image as they do with a text.

Visual Literacy is the ability to 'read' images.
It is important to be able to construct meaning from all visual media, and I think it would be useful if one is planning to use films and/ or museum visits at school.

Visual literacy is the ability to read, write and create visual images both static and moving. I really believe that it is very important, as we are surrounded by images, which we have to interpret. I think it should be incorporated in the school curriculum, as visual information and thinking can act in a "holistic" way. It can facilitate the overall teaching process by promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, interdisciplinarity, producing instead of just consuming.

Visual literacy is the ability to interpret and make meaning from information presented in the form of an image, thus extending the meaning of literacy which commonly signifies interpretation of a written or printed text. It builds stronger readers, readers who are able to think about texts in numerous ways. Visual literacy encourages student reflection, analysis and evaluative thinking skills, therefore it should definitely be part of the school curriculum.

Visual Literacy
Visual literacy is the ability to understand and use images and/or videos in the educational process or in everyday life in order to achieve a certain goal. I think it is very important and it should be taught to students since images and the internet are  becoming more and more an important   means of expression in our lives. Young people are very familiar with  images and digital technology, so, it's easier for them to understand concepts and express themselves through these means.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, Visual Literacy is the ability of human beings to process and effectively interpret the huge bulk of stimuli received by means of the eyesight. It is of vital importance as it is closely related to the inner nechanisms of the brain, its cognitive functions, that allow thinking and eventually communication. Incorporating Visual Literacy in the school curriculum will undoubtedly benefit students immensely, as it will sharpen their perception, strengthen their understanding and enhance their critical thinking.

Visual literacy is a term that refers to the skills of interpeting the visuals we see and using these effectively in our communicative purposes. As everything we see involves images, it is essential that we learn to pay attention, understand the explicit and implicit messages , use them ourselves and  expand our knowledge of the world . Therefore we should include visual literacy in our teaching as we prepare our students for their after school  life and it is considered a life skill .  Pelagia

At first thought, visual literacy has to do with the knowledge one should have to be able to look at images critically, understand the meaning they convey, as well as be able to use images in a communicative way himself. It is seems an essential tool to have and a necessary ability to develop in a world that uses images for almost every purpose.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think that visual literacy is the term we use to say that someone is able to "read" an image. Sometimes an image can carry more meaning than a whole text. It can also carry feelings and discuss ideas in a more powerful way than  a text can.

I believe that visual literacy is really important in a curriculum since everyday we are bombarded by images and kids are highly exposed to them. Thus, I believe we should be able to teach them ways to perceive and interpret these images in order to be better equipped as they grow up.

Visual literacy is a form of communication. The important thing is to learn how to read and write images through visual exposure.

The combination of them will enhance learners’ perception and awareness in a metacognitive stage where letters, digits, symbols and images will assume a multifunctional meaning. As a result, by showing learners the means to combine textual, computer and visual literacy, teachers can help them to read the world in a multilayered way.

It should definitely be included in the school curriculum if we intend to promote learners’ critical thinking and include more progressive teaching techniques.

Visual literacy is about having the background knowledge to interpret an image so as to understand the message it conveys. It is also about having the ability to use or create the appropriate images in order to send your message to others. In our days, images are of great importance in the media and the internet and that’s why visual literacy should be a part of the curriculum.

Visual literacy can be described as the ability to perceive, understand and produce visual messages. It enables us to make sense of the world around us. Visual literacy is paramount for any kind of learning to take place. It follows that it should be an integral part of the school curriculum. Students nowadays are "digital natives" and are bombarded with countless images, both static and moving, every single day.  Therefore it is essential that they develop the necessary visual literacy skills to navigate this image-laden world we live in.

Visual literacy is the ability to construct meaning from visual images. As contemporary culture has become increasingly dependent on the visual, the need to learn and read visual images is an urgent one and touches at all levels in our society. Students need to be able to make critical selection between the necessary and the unnecessary and distinguish superficial, glamorous and pseudo-sophisticated messages from the real and valuable ones.

I interprete visual literacy as the ability to communicate through images. It is a personal need to be able to express yourself by using images and I believe that this is very important as far as young people are concerned. This is why visual literacy should be part of the school curriculum as a means of allowing students to express their creativity and participate more in class.

Visual literacy can be described as the ability to read, write and create visual images, both static and moving.  It is a concept that relates to art and design but it also has much wider applications. Visual literacy is about language, communication and interaction. Pupils can use visual media as a linguistic tool with which they can communicate, exchange ideas and navigate their highly visual digital world.

Visual lliteracy is  proess of ''reading'' various types of images in our life, analysing and interpreting them. We understand the deeper meaning of visuals. Our lives are media and image saturated,so visual literacy is important, unless one wants to be deceived by just taking in pictures and text.
Skills are needed for the interpretation of those images and a combination of literacies is the key for a better education. Internal visualisation and imagination are tools to improve your writing and speaking skills, critical ability and decision making.

Visual literacy is the ability to understand the messages conveyed through images. I believe it is important for students to become visually literate and teaching visual literacy should be part of our school currculum, as students are recipients and producers of countless images in their everyday life.

Visual literacy is the ability to observe, comprehend, interpret and create images, to convey and construct meaning through them and to communicate globally beyond linguistic borders. It is the ability to instantly encode and decode vast amounts of information which affects viewers both consciously and subconsciously. Last but not least, because the image is such an omnipresent and powerful non-verbal form of communication, it should be processed through the critical thinking visually literate people possess.

Visual literacy is the ability to "read" an image and understand its meaning. I think it is a very powerful tool because a picture is more captivating than any text and it can be interpreted in many different ways. Thus, visual literacy is a linguistic tool because even though it is stripped of any kind of text, it is meaningful and it promotes communication and interaction. Visual literacy should be part of the school curriculum because it helps students, especially from an ealry age, to cultivate their critical thinking and creativity.

Visual literacy is a skill and a part of our everyday lives. Learners interpret art and visual media as they come in contact with them. They learn and understand a visual message, what is not written but what is presented in form of signs, symbols, icons and colors. Children read pictures before they master verbal skills. Visual communication is essential both in everyday life as well as in education.
