OPTIC STRATEGY

  1. Overview: Conduct a brief OVERVIEW of the visual or graphic.  This should be in the form of a brief paraphrase or summary.

2.    Parts: Key is on the PARTS of the image by reading the visual as a text, looking for literary techniques such as imagery, simile, metaphor, symbol, and irony.

3.    Title: Read the TITLE or caption of the visual (if one is present) so that you are clear on the subject it is covering.

4.    Interrelationships: Use the title as your theory and parts of the visual as your clues to detect and specify the INTERRELATIONSHIPS in the graphic.


5.    Conclusion: Draw a CONCLUSION about the visual as a whole by stating its theme or the argument it’s making.
