| Abstract: | Briefly, I would define visual literacy as a reading skill to construct meaning from any form of visual communication through an active process of seeing, reflecting, analyzing and evaluating. Art museums could be the spaces that encourage visual literacy among the public. However, in order to do this, they need to reach out to diverse communities from all walks of life. The main focus of a study I conducted in Malta during 2016-2017 was on educational strategies, with reference to the art museum and its collection as resources for the public in the 21st century. The educational strategies explored throughout three research projects mainly involvedthe participants' practice of visual literacy skills - the much required skills for the public in today's image-cultured world. |
