In Levels 3 and 4, students extend their understanding of key concepts of media arts such as the use of media technologies, story principles of structure, intent, character and settings, and use the media arts elements of composition and sound. They consider themselves as audiences and explore the characteristics of audience types.
As they make and respond to media artworks, students explore meaning and interpretation, genre, media forms and elements. They explore social and cultural contexts of media arts, and evaluate their own and others’ media artworks.
Students use media technologies safely in their media arts practice. They increase their understanding of the role of the artist and of the audience, and consider how and why audiences respond to media art works. Students also consider ethical issues when making media artworks.
By the end of Level 4, students describe similarities and differences between media artworks they make and view. They discuss how and why they and others use images, sound and text to make and present media artworks. They identify the characteristics of audiences who view media artworks and the social, historical and cultural contexts in which media artworks are viewed.
Students use intent, structure, setting, characters, media elements and media technologies to make and share media artworks that communicate ideas to an audience.
