During our 2nd day in Art 220 Concept development, we were taught about Visual Literacy. Visual Literacy is based on the idea of learning how to read, communicate, and understand through pictures. We were shown multiple pictures where the key of this topic was "It's not what you think... It's what you know when you're looking at the image." At first I didn't understand but Mr. Moss explain the pictures from the "eye of a detective." Though it was still hard to understand what he meant, little by little, I started to get it.
After this exercise we were shown a 18 minute clip called "Ted Scott McCloud talks," where Scott talked about the different kinds of styles of comics and referred it from his life story. After, we were given 25 minutes to make a story of our own of why we came to CSULA through 4 different shape panels. Though i was overthinking it, I finished within the 25 minutes limit. Through this learning process we learned how our pictures can show emotion and movement through just telling our story. I thought today was very accurate, and I think after I told the story from my point of view I was able to understand a little better.
