Media Arts

Media arts is not specified in the New Zealand Arts Curriculum document alongside dance, drama, music and visual arts, although many teachers will be aware that it is still incorporated in classroom arts programme. Media arts is also an aspect of computer/digital/ICT studies. It includes creating images and telling stories through various communication technologies such as the internet, mobile media and video games, as well as radio, television, film and print media.

In addition to the Essential Resources publication Going to the Movies, we also offer a Teaching Media Literacy Through Contemporary Issues series. These seven books are very useful for those who want to explore and incorporate media arts in their classroom programme. Check out some sample pages.
