Teaching Visual Literacy and Communications
"[Young people] need to know how ideas and emotions are expressed through a visual form. We have to begin to teach younger people how to use this very powerful tool...because we know the image can be so strong, not only for good use, but for bad use. Film is very powerful—images are very powerful—and we need to teach younger people how to use them....or at least how to interpret them."
— Martin Scorsese

"It's a different way of teaching in the sense that English classes should broaden themselves...and be renamed communication, it's a communication class. You learn how to write, but you also learn graphics...take graphics out of the art department. Take [the art of] cinema and put it into schools...."
