Art has an infinite amount of value and purpose. One of the areas in which art plays a key role is our understanding of the visual language. We place a lot of emphasis on reading and writing but did you know one of our first method of communicating was through pictures?! Think of cave art with its prehistoric pictures on the walls telling stories and providing information regarding recent events on hunting, food sources, and families. Think back to ancient Egypt and the colorful hieroglyphs that decorated walls, vases, and even tombs telling us the story of famous pharaohs. Native Americans used pictorial symbols on their functional and decorative art. Even today, the first scaffolding needed to understand the process of reading and writing starts with picture books!
Visual language is used everywhere in today's society. Advertisements, posters, t-shirts, road signs, movies, and toys are just a fraction to name a few. Delta Center 3rd graders learned just how important art is to understanding visual language by using today's most used visual language: EMOJIS 😃😀😁🤗😎
