Visuacy

School students should study Picasso alongside pictures of Elle Macpherson's underwear as part of a recasting of visual arts education away from traditional forms to include images of all kinds.

An article in The Australian detailing a new report from the federal government calling for "visuacy" to be taught alongside literacy and numeracy.

I'd be interested to see if this leads to anything being implemented in schools. Won't hold my breath though.
I think for the time being, I'll refer to it as visual literacy rather than visuacy, until someone else uses it!
