MEDIA ARTS
GRADE 7
 Media Arts under the Special Program in the Arts is the study of human communication
through photography, broadcasting, print media, online media, videography and film. In this art
form, students are trained to use the elements of space, time, light, motion, color and sound to
express their perspectives, feelings and ideas creatively. Likewise, students are taught to
appreciate the values of cultural identity and inculcate or include these themes for a more
significant and high sense of identity. Critically, they learn to interpret and evaluate media within
aesthetic, cultural and historical contexts to become more enlightened consumers, critical
individuals and effective citizens.

The learners are taught creative use of communications technologies to tell stories and
explore concepts for diverse purposes and audiences. Media artists represent personal, social and
cultural realities using platforms such as television, film, video, newspapers, magazines, radio, and
the worldwide web. Media Arts explores the diverse artistic, creative, social and institutional factors
that shape communication and contribute to the formation of identities. The learners participate in,
experiment with and interpret the rich culture and communications practices surrounding them.
