SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 describe the stages of the creative and critical analysis processes with reference to media art works, and explain and correctly use terminology related to the conventions and concepts of media arts when creating or analysing media art works (e.g., use a graphic organizer to explain some of the stereotypes, symbols, styles, icons, structures, and/or recipes used in modern media)
C1.2 identify and describe a variety of elements from contributing arts that are used in media art works (e.g., line and texture from visual arts, pitch and timbre from music, space and energy from dance, tension and relationship from drama), and describe how these elements can be organ- ized using one of the principles of media arts (e.g., how elements from music and visual art can be organized using the principle of hybridization)
C1.3 explain terminology associated with the technologies, tools, and techniques used in the production and presentation of media art works (e.g., audio mixing, camera angles, choreography,
layering, light board, microphone, sound board, sound effects, transitions, zoom), and use this terminology correctly when producing and presenting media art works
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 identify, through exploration, and explain (e.g., in written critiques or presentations; using comparison charts, illustrations, or diagrams) connections between a contemporary media art work and related historical art works (e.g., the large-scale digital photographs of Chris Jordan and traditional still life paintings)
Teacher prompt: “What are the similarities and differences between contemporary 3D animation films and Norman McLaren’s animations?”
C2.2 demonstrate an understanding of the history and development of a media arts tool, medium, or technology (e.g., create a video tracing the technological development of 2D animation from Eadweard Muybridge to the present; create a diagram tracing the history of audio technology; research and report on the history of performance media art)
C2.3 explain how sociocultural trends have contributed to the development of media arts (e.g., how the widespread use of technologies such as cellphones, MP3 players, or LED lights have led to new ways of creating and presenting media art works; how human rights movements have influenced the message, media, or modes of presentation in media arts)
