Visual rhetoric is commonly used by many sources. It is most commonly seen in advertisements to try to grab the attention of the audience. However visual rhetoric can be used as a very useful teaching technique. Many people have even learned that they are visual learners. This means that they cannot comprehend a concept fully without a picture or diagram. Many visual teaching aids have been created to enhance the learning of students such as Venn diagrams, line graphs, pie charts and the use of video clips have also been found to be useful.
Comparing and contrasting can be essentially useful in visual rhetoric when trying to fully analyze two pieces of work. When looking at the similarities and differences of two visuals, the viewer can analyze the color, the people, and the time of the picture more clearly as compared to when one visual stands alone. When the works are side by side it becomes a great tool to differentiate the main ideas and the creator’s message of the pieces. Comparing and contrasting is a great tool when evaluating pieces of work.
