What is visual literacy?
Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, negotiate, and make meaning from information presented
in the form of an image, extending the meaning of literacy, which commonly signifies interpretation
of a written or printed text. Visual literacy is based on the idea that pictures can be “read” and that
meaning can be
communicated through a process of reading.

Satire Uses humour to make a serious point. It involves using wit, irony or
sarcasm to highlight human vices or follies.

ordinary or a let-down.
