Semiotic representations: Building complex literacy practices through the arts

     Using visual arts allows students to enhance their literacy.  Children express themselves in different ways, therefore their learning style is different.  The semiotic representations allows the students to use inquiry based learning to try to understand meanings and dig deeper into a text to express what it means.  I do agree that art is definitely a system of communication.  All the interaction makes students want to learn and get involved in their own learning.  I am eager to listen to Dr. Long define and explain the semiotic representations to see if I understood the article.
