S E P T E M B E R Course Description This course focuses on the development of media arts skills through the production of art works involving traditional and emerging technologies, tools, and techniques such as new media, computer animation, and web environments. Students will explore the evolution of media arts as an extension of traditional art forms, use the creative process to produce effective media art works, and critically analyse the unique characteristics of this art form. Students will examine the role of media artists in shaping audience perceptions of identity, culture, and values. Prerequisite: Media Arts, Grade 10, Open, or any Grade 9 or 10 arts course The expectations for this course in media arts are organized in three distinct but related strands: * CREATING AND PRESENTING: A1.

Identity and Values: demonstrate an understanding of how media art works reflect personal and cultural identity, and affect personal, cultural, and community values and their awareness of those values; B3. Connections Beyond the Classroom: demonstrate an understanding of the types of knowledge and skills that are transferable beyond the media arts classroom. * FOUNDATIONS: C1.
