Wednesday's class started off with our instructor telling us we had to sit in order according to what month and day we were born. I then stood up to figure out what months people were born in so I could sit down. I then learned I was the only person born in July in the class. Jimmy then told us that the purpose of changing our seats was to interact with our fellow students and to have a different point of view and experience of the class than our previous seats.
The rest of the class we discussed and learned about visual literacy. In the simplest terms visual literacy is the reading and interpreting of images. Jimmy showed us different photos and images and asked us what feelings we got from each one. He also asked us to state factual information about each image versus what we thought was happening in each image. I found it difficult to detach my emotional feelings from each image and quickly noticed how powerful and affective an image can be if it is targeted towards human emotions.
