Media arts

When we talk about Media Arts, the new and 5th discipline being included in the National Core Arts Standards there are multiple ideas. What is media arts and what does it look like, who is teaching it, and which students are taking the courses? Is it being integrated into course work, grade level content, or is it standing alone? When I search the images on Zev’s site, demilked, a 14-year old from MA I think it is an example of Media Arts. This isn’t all it is but it is included in the term Media Arts. See for yourself and consider what and how you’re teaching.
