This introduction to visual literacy focuses on visual literacy terminology, color theory, CRAP principles, and considers visual design from the perspective of students who will be producing visual rhetoric and teachers who will be guiding students through those processes. 

Before starting: consider the visuals that you’ve brought into your classroom so far as examples.
