What is media Arts?
This rationale complements and extends the rationale for The Arts learning area.
"Media arts involves creating representations of the world and telling stories through communications technologies such as television, film, video, newspapers, radio, video games, the internet and mobile media. Media arts connects audiences, purposes and ideas, exploring concepts and viewpoints through the creative use of materials and technologies. Like all art forms, media arts has the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, exciting the imagination and encouraging students to reach their creative and expressive potential.
Media Arts enables us to create and communicate representations of diverse worlds and investigate the impact and influence of media artworks on those worlds, individually and collaboratively. As an art form evolving in the twenty-first century, media arts enables you to use existing and emerging technologies as you explore imagery, text and sound and create meaning as they participate in, experiment with and interpret diverse cultures and communications practices.
You will learn to be critically aware of ways that the media are culturally used and negotiated, and are dynamic and central to the way you make sense of the world and of yourself. You will learn to interpret, analyse and develop media practices through media arts making experiences. You will be inspired to imagine, collaborate and take on responsibilities in planning, designing and producing media artworks.
You will explore and interpret diverse and dynamic cultural, social, historical and institutional factors that shape contemporary communication through media technologies and globally networked communications."
