AB 37 – Media Arts “The Superintendent, in consultation with the Instructional Quality Commission, shall recommend to the state board revisions to the visual and performing arts content standards in the subjects of dance, theater, music, and visual arts adopted by the state board pursuant to Section 60605.1, and shall recommend visual and performing arts standards in the subject of media arts.” Enrolled July 6, 2017

Language from AB 37 “Media arts education is particularly relevant to young people as it reflects the multimedia world they experience and empowers them to engage in self-directed forms of inquiry, expression, and creativity.” “The study of media arts enables pupils to gain critical literacy in media, technology, and digital culture essential to becoming informed, discerning, and engaged citizens.” “Media arts pupils are well prepared for careers in the creative industry in California, which produced approximately $375 billion in economic value in 2014 and directly employed over 700,000 people.” Some language from the bill

“Media arts is the study and practice of human communication through photography, film or video, audio, computer or digital arts, and interactive media. Students exploring this category of art creatively structure the elements of space, time, light, motion, color and sound to express their perspectives, feelings and ideas. They learn to critically interpret and evaluate media within aesthetic, cultural and historical contexts.” Source: Minnesota Media Arts Standards With a partner, consider this definition of Media Arts.
