How to use this Visual Literacy Lesson for The OPTIC Strategy:
This visual literacy lesson will teach visual analysis and equip students with the necessary skills to analyze and interpret persuasive advertisements, paintings, illustrations, comic books, photographs, and more.
You can begin this lesson with the OPTIC Strategy Informational Handouts. These handouts provide an overview of each letter of the OPTIC acronym. To model visual analysis, an abstract illustration has also been provided; this example can be used to demonstrate how to apply the OPTIC strategy. A graphic organizer has been provided for this example.
Students can then practice visual analysis using the OPTIC Strategy worksheets. There are five additional illustrations with these worksheets. You can either assign all of these worksheets to each student or divide students into groups and assign each group an image. I also enjoy creating a station for each image to create an interactive gallery walk. These images are open to interpretation, which makes it an incredibly engaging lesson to consolidate once students have finished their interpretations.
There are also three virtual gallery walks featuring three diverse artists. Each artist demonstrates a unique style of artistry, and each virtual gallery walk features an OPTIC graphic organizer worksheet and hyperlink to a webpage featuring their work. You can assign each artist to every student, or have each student select their favourite artist to interpret.
If you teach AP Language and Composition, this visual literacy lesson is a great way to prepare students for the synthesis portion of the AP Exam.

Extremely Satisfied
“The different options for gallery walks were appealing to the vast cultures within my classroom. I really enjoyed that there were different options to demonstrate a myriad of styles. This lesson was a great way to switch up our approach in the classroom (my students are English Language Learners in an International School and they can only handle so much reading in English each week!) They responded super well to this!” - Georgina A.
