This poster is part of a series demonstrating how the techniques of visual literacy can be applied in every subject so that students can deconstruct a visual image in order to find the hidden meaning behind the image. In this poster a photograph of a New York street with a Benetton poster demonstrates the use of placement, colour, eye contact and representation. Visual literacy is a great way to help students build extended responses. There is a template on the second page that can be used as a scaffold.
