What are the main concepts and content of the Media Arts curriculum?
Media Arts enables students to design, produce, experience and interact with art works that involve communication technologies and cross-disciplinary art forms in audio and screen. Students experience, respond to and make artworks such as films, documentaries, advertisements, music videos, animations, video games and graphic novels. These artworks have a strong narrative content and are available in a range of contexts including radio, print, cinema, television, internet, mobile devices, art galleries and public spaces.
Within the arts; media provides opportunities for students to explore and experiment with new technologies to create media artworks.
From levels F-10 students can learn specific knowledge and skills about creating Media artworks in five key areas: media language, technologies for producing media artworks, the institutions that enable and constrain media production and distribution, audiences and constructed representations of the world.
