Year 7 Media Arts Achievement Standard – Australian Curriculum v9
This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 7 The Arts by the end of the year. Teachers can use it to guide assessment design, collect evidence of learning, and ensure planning stays aligned with the Australian Curriculum v9.
What Students Should Know
By the end of year 8, students analyse the use of media arts concepts to construct representations that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning in media arts works they produce and/or experience. They evaluate use of media arts concepts in media arts works from across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts. They describe respectful approaches to creating and/or responding to media arts works.
Students select and manipulate media languages, media technologies and use production processes to construct representations. They create media arts works that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meanings. They present their work to an audience. They plan where and how they could distribute their work using responsible media practice.
