Digital Media Arts Education in Schools
Through Media Arts, students explore and express their identities and ideas with a variety of accessible tech tools like cell phones, cameras, computers and laptops, as well as professional-level tools like animation tablets, wireless mics and software like Adobe, Soundtrap and Ableton. Students look at and ask questions about media created by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color), past and present. Digital Media Arts students learn skills like graphic design, scriptwriting and storyboarding, game design and animation, videography, web design, sound production, DJing, beat-making and podcasting.

Digital Media Arts In Our Schools
We know that we swim in media every day; we scroll through Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube, we interact with our likes and comments, we play video and online games, we consume passive advertising, we provide data to companies through our online activity. In Media Arts courses, students consider themselves both as creator and consumer.
Students consider the impact of media on social, emotional and physical wellness and how media impacts our relationships, politics and society. They consider how bias and stereotypes appear in media. Students practice responding and connecting to all types of media, while creating and presenting their original work. We want students to build communication and technical media skills, to understand that their voice and stories are powerful and that there is a lucrative career in media arts right here in California, if they choose to pursue it!
