Unit 1 Visual literacy Let us check


• Four of our senses are in our head. What are they? • Our fifth sense is touch. What makes this sense different to the other senses?


• Do you remember why the primary colours are so important? Use your senses to discover your world


We experience everything in our world through our senses. This is the way you learn from early childhood throughout the rest of your life. Some people are born without one or more of their senses. They often develop their other senses more fully to help them experience life properly.


Activity 1 Experience your local world


I live in Cape Town. When I look up, I see Table Mountain. The sound of the sea-gulls wakes me up in the morning. The air smells salty like the sea. I feel the Southeaster wind on my skin. Tonight, we will eat fried fish for supper.


Write a few sentences about how you experience your local world through your five senses.
