Content descriptor explore ways First Nations Australians use media arts to continue and revitalise cultures

Elaborations

• • Elaboration exploring (for example, by talking with First Nations Australians or accessing published resources accredited by First Nations Australian organisations) how and why cultural expressions and media arts works are critical for sharing, maintaining, continuing and revitalising cultures
• • Elaboration identifying examples that illustrate how cultural expressions change over time; for example, by using available resources published by First Nations Australian communities and organisations
• • Elaboration investigating the ways that First Nations Australian media artists embed themselves and their communities in media arts works in a range of representative forms as a visual declaration of identity, storytelling and resilience in the form of visibility; for example, exploring representations of First Nations Australians as superheroes in comics, popular culture and television
• • Elaboration using Viewpoints to develop questions that explore understandings about themes or issues in media arts works and considering what needs to be investigated further; for example, “What do I already know about this issue?”, “Is there more to this story than is being presented?”, “What questions would I ask the media artist about this product?”
