“There can be no Words without Images”---Aristotle

From the beginning of humanity, our species have relied on visual imagery to communicate ideas and interpret the world. The Prehistoric cave paintings recorded history by imagery and in ancient civilizations symbols described words.
Literacy is the ability to read and write, but it is also the ability to interpret information other than words such as images and symbols. Images are all around us in our society and culture represented in newspapers, magazines, television and the Internet. Therefore, to interpret and appreciate these multimedia images and their differences, children must develop the vital skill of visual literacy.
