NCCAS+and+Media+Arts

In August of 2011, the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards convened a Media Arts Investigation Committee consisting of a diverse group of media arts leaders from the field including a broad spectrum of representatives from gaming, design, theatre, media, media literacy, public education K-12, higher education, film, cinema, animation, digital imagery, photography and State Directors of Arts Education. The committee's work helped define the task of writing media arts standards.
 * National Media Arts Standards Imagined**

The Media Arts Investigation Committee appointed a smaller sub group of five representatives; including the two state level directors of arts education whose states currently have Media Arts standards, to review the 52 applications received from media arts educators during an all call out to the field in September of 2011. The resulting twelve member writing team was chosen after a rigorous selection process using criteria designed by the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards. The writing team represents both the depth, breadth and scope of the field as well as diverse geographic locations around our country and diverse teaching experiences in media arts at all grade levels, K- Higher Education.
 * Writing Team Chosen**

Investigation here has pointed to many fine organizations with an interest in media literacy and technology societies with arts as an area of interest, as well as technology as a working group within the professional organizations for dance, music, theatre and visual arts. These organizations have created important provisions for the inclusion of technology and media arts at many levels of instruction and use. However, no single association has taken on the responsibility for media arts in the areas of arts, aesthetics, and education. To meet the need for a voice for Media Arts during the writing of the standards a Media Arts Committee was formed to serve as a part of the NCCAS governing body. The committee is co-chaired by Richard Burrows, retired director of Arts Education for the Los Angeles Unified School District and Dr. Pamela Paulson, Senior Director of Policy, Perpich Center for Arts Education.
