By the end of this course, students will:
C3.1 describe and apply healthy, safe, and conscientious work practices when producing, presenting, or promoting media art works (e.g., develop studio safety checklists and conduct studio safety tests; apply appropriate practices, including using personal protective equipment, when working with sound, chemicals, hazardous equipment)
Teacher prompt: “What practices or processes have you developed to ensure that you use equipment safely and effectively in a video studio? A sound studio?”
C3.2 explain ethical and legal issues associated with media arts, particularly with respect to social justice and equity issues (e.g., issues of access, inclusion, cultural appropriation), and use ethical and legal practices when creating, presenting, or promoting media art works
Teacher prompt: “What factors should you consider when representing or documenting individuals or social/cultural groups or when exploring sensitive issues?”
C3.3 identify and apply responsible environmental practices associated with the media arts work- place (e.g., dispose of chemicals, batteries, and obsolete hardware in environmentally safe ways; use energy conservation practices; use recycled or recyclable material where possible)
Teacher prompt: “What practices should media artists put in place to ensure that they are working in environmentally friendly ways? Have you applied these practices in your recent projects?”
C3.4 identify a range of positive character traits associated with media arts production, and exhibit these traits in both their independent work and their interactions with others (e.g., show respect for their own work and the work of others and for their tools and work spaces; demon- strate sensitivity towards their subjects; show responsibility by completing tasks and meeting deadlines; demonstrate encouragement and support for team members)
Teacher prompt: “How have your actions and attitudes promoted a positive and creative working environment in your group?”
C3.5 demonstrate an understanding of and apply conventions associated with the presenting and experiencing of media art works, and challenge these conventions in creative ways to extend the audience’s experiencing of art works (e.g., exhibit appropriate behaviour in galleries and other locations; challenge audience etiquette or adapt viewing/listening conventions as part of their media art work)
