Does your state’s teaching standards<\/a> include the ability of students to be able to
\nread, analyze, deconstruct visual images?\u00a0 Many states do include it in their visual arts standards. But the phrase “new literacies” (being found in the English Language Arts) implies understanding how photographs, for example, can also be interpreted or read, just as we might read a book or a poem.<\/p>\n
