Vision – Graphic text
Vision
Graphic text is how civilization first started recording history. The visual literacy for each culture, and generation, is unique. What might be a symbol of joy for one culture can be a symbol of destruction for another. For your Part 1, describe what you read and what you think the graphic text meant.
