According to www.educationalworld.com " Scorsese believes that we need to begin educating young students to shape their minds in a critical way, looking
at images in a critical way and [learning] how to interpret these images." He emphasizes that educating students
in visual literacy involves exploring how ideas and emotions are expressed in a visual form, the grammar
(panning left and right, tracking in or out, booming up or down, close-up, medium shot, long shot), and the use of
lighting to create an emotional and psychological point. He proposes that there is a desperate need for our youth
to understand the good and bad use of film," which will in turn prepare students to be critical, well-informed
viewers. Do you agree that we need to educate children in visual literacy to help them become critical thinkers and viewers? Why? Be sure to explain your ideas.
