Hello BDF family! Today we will be wrapping up our discussion from last time and learning about another new concept - Story Arcs. The core of Media Arts is story telling, both visual and audible, and the key to effective story telling is planning. Using Story Arcs to plan will increase our proficiency as artists to express our creativity in a meaningful way. I noticed however that some are still figuring out our phases of production, so we will clarify that first before moving forward.

The goal will be to have students understand the phases more clearly, as well as understand the 5 parts of a story and why we call them story arcs by the end of class. They will be practicing their understanding by completing a short story exercise where they write a story and break it into these 5 parts (Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution).

All work and resources will be posted on Canvas.
