Media Arts

This Content Descriptor from Year 7 The Arts provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

reflect on their own and others’ media arts works and practices to inform choices they make during the production process

Elaborations

  • • observing and considering potential audience engagement to inform refinements across pre-production, production, post-production and/or distribution processes
  • • using Viewpoints to develop investigating questions when making decisions about how to represent a theme, concept or idea, and considering media conventions
  • • documenting and explaining their creative choices in relation to representations, genre codes and conventions
  • • justifying decisions made by producers in the construction of representations of people, places or concepts through the use of technical and symbolic codes, and how producers benefit from this construction
  • • using a storyboarding or editing template to annotate their creative thinking when refining production processes
  • • using Viewpoints to develop reflective questions such as “How can I represent a range of views about this issue in my media arts work?”, “What do I need to change in the production processes to create a stronger connection with the audience?”
  • • exploring styles and representations particular to a country or region to inform their own practice and to develop their understanding of cultural appropriation and representation; for example, exploring the use of media conventions and languages in cartooning genres in Asia.

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 7 ASARTMEDY78
Year 7 The Arts Achievement Standard
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.
