The Arts - Media Arts

The Australian Curriculum: Media Arts involves creating representations of the world and telling stories through communication technologies such as television, film, video, newspapers, radio, video games, the internet and mobile media. Students are taught about appropriate use and applications of digital technologies within Media Arts as they engage with digital technologies throughout the development process of their piece of work.

Students participate in, experiment in, experiment with and interpret diverse cultures and communication practices. Students learn to be critically aware of ways that the media are culturally used and negotiated, and the factors which shape contemporary communication through media technologies and globally networked communications.
