Ms. Mernine's Media Arts Website
updated October 2021 Media Arts is...Digital Photography, Music Production, Video Design, Animation, Illustration and other forms of digital and Web-based media! Ms. Mernine teaches 6th and 7th grade Intro to Digital Arts/Media Arts at Hart Middle School in Washington, D.C, alongside Ms. Cain. @cainclassroomchronicles. This is our class website. Media literacy is defined simply as the ability to both analyze and create media messages. Visual literacy has been defined as "the ability to construct meaning from visual images." (Source: The Visual Literacy White Paper) Media literacy is one of the skills all students need Today’s students are the visual generation: they’re learning more through the visual medium than from print, so it is important for educators to know how to teach both with and about the media. Students know how to upload and download photos, music, video and movies seamlessly using mobile devices which have not yet been allowed into the classroom, but that is slowly starting to change. |
