B3.3 describe skills and understandings acquired through the creative and critical analysis processes in the media arts (e.g., technical, analytical, and communication skills; visual and aural discrimination skills; a more sophisticated understanding of a variety of ethno-cultural groups and of the need to respect the opinions and values of others), and explain in detail how they can be applied in a range of areas in everyday life (e.g., to troubleshoot an installation for a local gallery; to develop multimedia presentations for family events; to analyse magazine articles or doc- umentaries that are used to promote a particular view point or manipulate an audience)
Teacher prompts: “What are some of the ways in which you have used media arts tools and processes in your school and your personal life? How have these processes enhanced your ability to share ideas and express yourself?” “What influence has the media had on your behaviour and choices? In what ways do the skills and understandings you have acquired in this course help you analyse the media and understand the sources of their influence?”
