Abstract

The European Network for Visual Literacy (ENViL) developed the idea of a common framework for visual competencies based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and has created a prototype of such a framework. This framework acts as a model that systematizes and structures competencies for dealing with images, objects, and signs; operationalizes the main sub-competencies (in reception and production); and, where possible, formulates competency levels using scales. In its application, the framework describes situations relating to the individual and society where images, objects, and visual signs are used. The framework does not favor a particular disciplinary theory but allows individual countries to select specific competencies and foci that fit their view of the domain of visual literacy.
