Literacy or visual culture refers to the ability of people to understand visual messages, by reading visual codes and thanks to the experience of visuality.
Knowing how to read images enhances their ability in many aspects of our daily and professional life, such as teachers, students, consumers, viewers, draftsmen, painters, etc.
Reasons for iconic literacy

In the elaboration of academic and didactic materials visual, audiovisual or three-dimensional.
In the appreciation of all kinds of artistic manifestations

A connotative message
(subjective meaning). It is a significant substructure, which depends on the interpreter-receiver's ideology, and makes it possible for the number of readings of the same image to vary according to individuals
In the reading and interpretation of the images, different competences of the human being are put into practice
Iconographic competence
Encyclopedic competence
Linguistic-communicative competence
Modal competence (space-time)
Aesthetic competence Connotative competence
