Question

Visual literacy is the ability to​ __________.

Answer 1

Visual literacy is the ability to​ create effective images and to correctly interpret visual messages.

When you have visual literacy, you are able to interpret, summarize, understand and negotiate information from a visual. Creating these visuals and having and understanding of their importance and how to use them in a way other people can understand is the main focus. Being literate is your ability to read and write, so visual literacy is the same understanding but grasping it from an image.
