Year 9 Media Arts Achievement Standard – Australian Curriculum v9
This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 9 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 10, students analyse how and why media arts concepts are manipulated to construct representations in media arts works they produce and/or experience. They evaluate how and why media artists across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts use media arts concepts to represent and/or challenge ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They evaluate how media arts are used to celebrate and challenge perspectives of Australian identity.
Students use media arts concepts to construct representations and communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They use responsible media practice and production processes to create media arts works in a range of genres/styles and/or forms, for specific audiences. They present their work to an audience. They plan where and how they could distribute their work and the relationships they could develop with their audiences, using responsible media practice.
