Promoting Visual Literacy with Tools: An Introduction

Blog Post 1/22:  Andee Henriques and Amanda Dudley

Since we are still in the introductory phase of learning about visual literacy, please read the article, “7 Things You Should Know  About Visual Literacy,” linked here.

Next, please review this infograph of some visual literacy tools organized by project type:

Which of these tools have you used before? Which of these tools do you wish you knew more about? When beginning a new project, how do you decide which visual literacy tools you are going to use? Do you have any tools you use frequently that are your go-to tools?

Filters in Photoshop

In trying to decide on a blog topic for the week, I thought I might introduce you to some filters in Photoshop. If you haven't used Photoshop filters yet, you will be surprised at the number of filters available. The filters are organized topically - Artistic, Brush Strokes, Distort, Sketch, and Stylize. To show you some of the possibilities, I took one of the pictures from my recent Colonial Williamsburg trip - the kitchen in Rockefeller's home - and applied different filters. Below, I have posted the original photo and then the ones with the filters indicated. What do you think? Are filters something you think you will be able to use in your work this semester? How might you use filters to convey a specific message?

This is the original photo.

This version is using Brushstrokes: Accented Edges.

 This version is using Artistic: Fresco.

 This version is using Stylize: Glowing Edges.

 This version is using Sketch: Chalk and Charcoal.
