Wk 10 Media Arts: Intro into Media Arts

Media arts play a major role with all the key strands in creative arts. Making and responding help teachers to understand where they must go to teach media arts and this includes the 5 key concepts which are, “representation, languages, technologies, audience and institutions” (ACARA, 2013, p. 84). Within this workshop we had a discussion about what we knew of media arts. Using drama as a stimulus, we were split into groups and told to represent one of the 5 key concepts. We represented “institutions” in a freeze-frame picture. It was hard to represent because of the lack of background knowledge we had, which leads into students, learning about media arts for the first time. Students must “explore, view, analyse, and participate in media arts” (ACARA, 2013, p. 84) so they can acquire “skills and processes” to help them to learn how to “reflect critically” on theirs and others work. Teaching media arts acquires the teacher to understand media arts and this means learning new things.

One word to describe St Johns Oval is "FUN".
