V. Learning Activities:

In your daily encounter with life you are always exposed to different
images. These include pictures in social media, illustrations in books or
magazines, charts and infographics as well as pieces of artworks such as
paintings, graphic arts, and comic or cartoon sketches. These images or
commonly known as visual media are part of your connection with economy,
entertainment and education.

Visual media generally pertains to television, movies, photography,

painting, print advertisement and other forms of images that involve the sense
of sight. Most of these media, however, also appeal to other senses like touch
and hearing. (DLP in English, Q2, W4)

In this module, you will learn to appreciate and acquire ideas clearly
conveyed in two most common visual media, the photographs and visual arts,
specifically paintings and cartoons or comics.

The main purposes of these visual media are commonly to express,

entertain, inform and persuade. This concept is very much evident for all
types of audience, but sometimes the roles of visual media in values formation
and development are oftentimes unnoticed. That is why it is very important
that artists and photographers are always conscious enough to express their
ideas in their masterpieces due to the contribution of their visual media works
in polishing human values.

A Chinese proverb once said that a picture paints a thousand words. It

means that there are several techniques in understanding the ideas and
values suggested in various visual media materials.

Some visual media materials have the ability to clearly suggest to the
viewers the values embedded in them. But let us not forget that there are still
images or work of art that require keen observation and sophisticated analysis
in order to grasp their message. In other words, there are images that can
suggest multiple interpretations and ideas regarding values formation as
rooted in our culture.

of practice tasks provided for you.
