Pointers in
Interpreting
Visual Material
1. What Can You See?
- Familiarizing with Visual Literacy Clues (VLCs)
such as subject matter, colors, symbols vectors, lighting,
gaze, gestures, and shapes enable us to develop the
method of approaching any image with a view to
decoding its meaning.
2. How Does It
Make You Feel?
- Through the Visual Literacy Clues you
would now be able to express how the
image makes you feel and how it has
influenced you to feel this way. You may
feel anger, anguish, excited, happy etc.
- There is no limit to the emotions you may
refer to, provided you can point to
evidence from the image.
3. What is the Image Trying
to Tell Us?
- This aspect peels back another level of meaning to get to the
overall message underlying the image. This question asks you to
delve into the intentions of the image maker themselves.
- The genre of the image will be of significance here too, as
the you consider the nature of the image as art, entertainment,
advertisement or a fusion of the various genres.
