a representational model through which to analyze the visual
literacy skills of graphics end-users.
The findings of this research illustrate that Logo
turtle graphics is a self-contained model to teach visual
literacy skills pertinent to computer culture. This model
is drawn from synthesizing published literature and the
classroom experience of Logo learners, which is demonstrated
through their visual solutions to Logo assignments. A
visual analysis and interpretation of the subjects- work
concludes that the principles and competencies associated
with traditional visual literacy skills manifest during the
Logo turtle graphics experience. The subjects of this study
demonstrate that visual literacy pertinent to computer
culture includes reading, writing, and drawing alphanumerics
and pictographic information with linguistic equivalence.
The logic for this symbolic metaphor is body-syntonic
spatial experience explained in geometric terms. The Logo
learner employs computational models for visual ideas and
visual-verbal symbols for spatial ideas in the course of
doing turtle graphics.
