Visual literacy in Dramatic Arts

This Visual Literacy poster demonstrates how the techniques behind visual literacy can be used by students studying Dramatic Arts. It was part of a whole school Visual Literacy campaign in a New England NSW high school. In this poster students are introduced to the concepts of pose, mood & atmosphere, texture and style. Examples of each of these elements are provided in the image (a Game Boy cover). The second page has an excellent template developed by the English Teachers Association of NSW. This can be used for students to analyse their own image in Dramatic Arts.
