Integrating Media Arts into Classroom Learning
Utah Film Center’s Media Education programs bring arts education into the classroom by introducing teachers and students to the transformational power of film. Our programs demonstrate how media education is beneficial for students, by helping them improve their media literacy skills, increasing their engagement, and building their critical thinking abilities. The free film screenings, workshops, professional development, field trips, and lessons we offer help students achieve these goals while supporting the core curriculum requirements for arts education.
