Introducing.. Media Art
Please note that this course at Earl
is only available in grade 10.
Media arts in an emerging discipline that incorporates a new aesthetic model extending beyond traditional art forms, it may involve new, visionary ways of creating art or may supply innovative, hybrid ways of using and expanding traditional arts disciplines.
In the ASM20 Media Arts course there is an emphasis on technology in the classroom (e.g. computer software, digital camera, scanner, audio, and video). This is a new frontier that visual artists have breached, integrating new methods and technologies with traditional visual art techniques and equipment.
The concepts of light, colour, sounds, time, movement, point of view, performance, framing, editing, balance, interactivity, hybridization, and temporality are used to create “cutting edge” works of art.
