Have you ever thought about how the images we encounter everyday impact our lives?

According to the Toledo Museum of Art (2019),"In an increasingly digital world we’re communicating more with images and less with words. Images are superseding words as our primary form of communication. On Instagram alone, 20 billion photos have been uploaded since 2010. Many of us employ visual language, often without realizing it. Being fluent in the language of images gives us an advantage at school, at work, and at home" (What is Visual Language? section, para.1) Therefore, visual literacy is important to students because the ability to ‘speak visual’ is not only critical to effective communication, it is also important for developing creativity, and design thinking.
