Teaching Media Arts: Discussion

Dear Kelda,

What I could access of the 'Arts pop' site on Scootle (2015) was drudgery to read though I found its initial idea inspiring. Using a story boarding is a fantastic tool for aesthetic education in making, presenting and appreciating and in using an app to understand and create their work ties the digital technologies and ICT general capabilities of the Australian Curriculum (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2015). Fraistat & Jones (2009) talk about the role of editor using technology and insists that the role of the editor is to "maximize the resources of whatever editorial environment he or she chooses to work within - and, increasingly, in digital media those resources will include image, sound and video" (p.10). I think that it is really important to remember that in learning to teach within these new modes that we experience them for ourselves and to realise what it is that we as end users appreciate about digital media and teach for this aesthetic as well.


While I haven't an example story-boarding, I have quickly put together this PowerPoint animation. It was fiddly, it doesn't look great and I wouldn't recommend using something so crass as powerpoint for animation. I would recommend using an app like Animation Desk - Sketch and Draw (Brakefield, 2015). Animation and story-boarding are something to practice more of, as you can see with my own efforts here.



Regards, 

Tracey
