A Primer of Visual Literacy, Donis A. Dondis

Understanding through seeing only seems to be an obviously intuitive process. Actually, developing the visual sense is something like learning a language, with its own special alphabet, lexicon, and syntax.

People find it necessary to be verbally literate whether they are "writers": or not; they should find it equally necessary to be visually literate, "artists" or not.

This primer is designed to teach students the interconnected arts of visual communication. The subject is presented, not as a foreign language, but as a native one that the student "knows" but cannot yet "read." The analogy provides a useful teaching method, in part because it is not overworked or too rigorously applied.

This method of learning to see and read visual data has already been proved in practice, in settings ranging from Harlem to suburbia.

Appropriately, the book makes some of its most telling points throug A Primer of Visual Literacy - Donis A Dondis - Google Books.
