NAEA National Convention in New York City, March 2016
Media Arts are being explored by art teachers across the country because of the evolution of the cameras used in photography classes as well as the computers and Adobe software used by schools for photo editing, newspaper, and yearbook layouts. Media Arts were a major focus at the National Art Education Association Conference in New York City in March 2016. I attended this conference to gain additional insight as to what was happening Media Arts Education. I found invigorating sessions focused on including photography, film, gaming, animation, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D modeling, and 3D printing.
It was also interesting to see a presentation by Cory Wilkerson of NCCAS and Andrew Tehran of Newark Public Schools in Newark, NJ, and Debi Rapson on The Model Cornerstone Assessments for the National Media Arts Standards for which I was a pilot teacher and my student's High School work was benchmarked and displayed at: http://nationalartsstandards.org/mca/media-arts
NAEA's Support of the National Media Arts Standards
NAEA has supported the national core arts standards, and embraces the National Visual Arts Standards along with National Media Arts Standards. Further evidence of NAEA's position on the standards is available at: https://www.arteducators.org/learn-tools/national-visual-arts-standardsNAEA Webinar 11/1/17- Unpacking the Media Arts Standards Through the Lens of Student Work
I joined with Cory Wilkerson and Andrew Tehran in presenting a national Webinar, presented on behalf of NAEA. We discussed the benefit of the Model Cornerstone Assessments for the Media Arts Standards. We showed student work and answered questions from the virtual audience.
Here is the description from the Webinar:
"Don’t miss this interactive exploration of the new National Media Arts Standards! Join the National Coalition of Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) Project Manager, Cory Wilkerson, as she offers an introduction to the Standards; and art educators Robb Bomboy and Andrew Teheran as they bring the Standards to life by guiding you through scoring of student work collected during the 2016 national pilot of the Standards. Learn how the Standards are used in classrooms, and envision what media arts instruction could look like in your school!"
Art Education Technology PAEAArtEdTech
In an effort to identify teachers working in the media arts, provide professional development, and introduce the National Media Arts Standards, I chair an interest group called Art Ed Tech. PAEA's interest groups must align with NAEA's interest groups. There is not currently a "Media Arts Interest Goup" at the National level, but ArtEdTech aligns most closely. I revived the group within PAEA and we held our first informal meeting at the State conference in Pittsburgh in October of 2018. We have established a facebook group, PAEAArtEdTech
PAEA State Conference Presentations - Pittsburgh- October 2017
I presented two sessions on how to incorporate the Media Arts Standards into the Film classroom and into a 3D digital design and animation with Cory Wilkerson. Cory introduced the standards, then I unpacked how they can be applied in the highschool classroom. The sessions were well recieved and you can see those presentations here:
