Society of the 21st century becomes more visual than text-oriented. This transformation is due to the omnipresence of images and visual media that interfere with a person's life. New technologies mean that now anyone can freely use the visual content and create new forms of expression. Imagination is not only a complement to other forms of information, but it is entering the stage at the initial process of content formulation. It can awaken great interpretive skills when people are already trained to critically view, use, and create visual content. Visual competences enable full participation in culture and commitment to the life of the visually oriented society. This paper presents the analysis of such competences in the context of academic educational practice.
