2. WHAT IS GRAPHICS?

3. The term graphics comes from the Greek
word graphein which means “to write”, “to
draw” or “to present by lines”. Graphics are
instructional materials which present
summarized information and ideas through
drawings, words, pictures, and symbols.
Graphics are generally abstract.

4. Drawings and Illustrations
Drawings and illustrations are non
photographic reconstructions or representations of reality,
etched or drawn by an illustrator. Illustrations serve a variety of
functions such as:
- giving faces to characters in a story;
- Displaying a numbers of examples of an item described in a
textbook;
- Visualizing stepwise sets o instructions in a technical manual;
- Communicating subtle thematic tone in a narrative; and
- Making a reader laugh or smile.

5. EXAMPLES:

7. CHARTS
• Charts are instructional materials which
present relationships such as
chronologies, quantities and hierarchies.
They usually appear as tables and
flowcharts, and present a combination of
pictorial, graphic, numerical or verbal
materials.

10. Classification Charts

11. Tabular Charts

12. Organizational Charts

13. Stream or Tree Charts

14. DIAGRAMS
• Although considered as charts, these consist
of lines and symbols that show the
relationships or key features of a process, an
object or an area. Diagrams could be very
abstract such as construction blueprints or
very simple such as diagrams showing
relationships of verbs, subject or other parts
of speech in English grammar classes

15. Different Types of Diagrams
• Venn Diagram
• Cycle Diagram
• Radial Diagram
• Pyramid Diagram
• Target Diagram

16. GRAPHS
• Graphs are instructional materials which
represent numerical data. Graphs also
illustrate relationships among units of data
and trends in the data. Graphs could be
produced from tabular charts, or could be
easily made through computer spreadsheet
applications, such as Microsoft Excel.

17. Different Types of Graphs

18. Line Graphs

19. Bar Graphs

20. Circle or Pie Graphs

21. Picture Graphs or Pictographs

22. POSTERS
• Posters are materials which combine images,
lines, colors, and words. These materials
intend to present a brief, persuasive message.
Posters may be obtained from a variety of
sources. These can also be prepared by
teachers and students.
• A good poster is simple and should be able to
convey a message quickly.

23. CARTOONS AND STRIP DRAWINGS
• Cartoons are colorful line drawings with
exaggerated features or symbols that provide
humor or satire. They usually appear in
newspaper, periodicals, and textbooks.
Cartoons also include comic strips or strip
drawings, which is a sequence of closely
related drawings intended to make important
social and political comments.

24. MAPS AND GLOBES
• Maps are instructional materials which
represent the Earth’s or portion of the Earth’s
surface. Globes, on the other hand, are
spherical models of the Earth. However, even
though a globe is three-dimensional, it can be
classified as a “graphic” because of the use of
symbols, words, and drawings.

25. Classification of Maps
• Physical maps – emphasize terrain and
topographical concepts
• Political maps – emphasize man-made
phenomena such as state, city or provincial
boundaries or location of highways or railroads or
government buildings
• Special purpose maps – these are the maps used
for perculiar purposes like those presenting
amount of rainfall, population distribution, and
travel routes.

26. Classification of Globes
• Political globes – show location and
boundaries of cities, provinces and other man-
made structures.
• Physical-political globes – show some political
features but emphasize land elevations and
ocean depths.
• Special purpose globe – these are globes
constructed for specific purposes such as
satellite globes, celestial globes, and physical
relief globes.
