Uncle Sam Poster
The first poster has multiple patriotic themes and symbols. One symbol represented by the Statue of Liberty is liberty. Also, it represents the American dream by having immigrants coming to American and they are in awe at American. This poster is effective in my opinion because it’s play on the citizens hopes and dreams by showing the new immigrants arriving, so they are more willing to buy and help with the war efforts. The second poster is the iconic propaganda posters. A big symbol in this poster is Uncle Sam. If you could make American a human it would be Uncle Sam. America, or Uncle Sam is asking you for help and assistance. It makes it more personal. The poster is effective because it makes every person look at themselves and see what

    The struggle for colonial unity was a battle of great importance for the survival of American freedoms. The poster “Join or Die”, published in 1754, in the Pennsylvania Gazette, was the work of Ben Franklin and was created during the French and Indian War (Document A). It was used to show the importance of colonial unity when the colonies were allied with the British. An American and British victory in the French and Indian War was absolutely imperative. If the French, who were allied with the Indians for this war, had won, then the British would have lost much of their superiority. When victory was won by the British and American forces, the American colonies began to form their own country and gain independence. When the revolution came around the poster was brought back to the public, trying to encourage the colonists to entice the idea of unity.…

    Summary Of The Surrender By Joseph Griffith

    When I looked at this piece of artwork the first thing that caught my eye was the different flag each side was displaying. The American side, that is full of some of our pop culture legends, is holding a bold American flag. On the other side we see the white surrender flag accompanied by people of the Middle East.…

    Unit 8 Assignment 2: Visual Argument Analysis

    The cartoon that I chose is called Border Security. I find it very interesting that the cartoonist chose this type of background. Also having Border Security, NOT, and Amnesty all highlighted in red. The text in this cartoon is very unique to its time, because of the major focus that has been on border control. I believe that the cartoonist targeted a specific type of reader in this cartoon. That type of reader would be the nave and ignorant people focused on this topic of boarder security and bringing up unreasonable ideas as to why we need more border control and to send them back to their country. I also find it interesting that in this cartoon the Native Americans are talking about border security to each other, about the Europeans, just to find out that the Europeans in the future kill, rape, and steal the Native Americans land and people. To me it looks like the cartoonist is trying to get a point across that we need to take a look at ourselves and what we stand by, or perhaps the cartoon just may be telling us that this is a cycle. When talking about the exigence of this cartoon, the fact that I believe everyone should open their eyes and try to relate toward each other is my main motivation on writing about this topic.…

    The mouse is the symbol for purity while the bush is freedom and protection, but also of death, of the innocence that cannot survive or must be sacrificed. The birds that fly free in the sky also feed on the bodies of dead soldiers. The bland colors used on the poster symbolizes the element of earth which represents both the cold and dry traits on the front the war was fought on and is associated with the melancholic or depressed trait seen in people. The pistol robert carries symbolizes authority and security, protection from what may harm him. The fire in the war is a symbol both of passion and…

    How Did The Great Britain Use Propaganda

    One popular event many artists used for their motivation, was the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, as the event “... made people angry because it was a civilian ship…”, killing many innocent people (How was information was shared). The British relied on more of the artistic side and effective slogans to make it happen, showing “posters… printed that made the army look exciting”, to get men into their smaller army (How was information shared?). A shady tactic that got used by the British was to tell “stories about the bad things the Germans had done”, which put resentment into citizens and motivated action, including enlistment (How information was shared?). Also, the poster appealed to a sense of national honor and aimed to make the men that did not take action and join to feel a sense of guilt. The artists used the element of pathos to convey to a man’s feelings and interpret “their children would be embarrassed if their father had done nothing in the war” (How was information shared?). In the end, Great Britain needed lot of soldiers and people to work together, as just an element of human…

    How Did President Wilson Use Propaganda

    The enemy was of course the Germans. The poster explained what the Germans goals were, how they operate in order to receive information, what not to do in order to prevent giving confidential information out, when to report this situation, and how to report this situation. This was effective to the American public because of course no one wanted to give any information to the enemy. It also helped Americans gain a better sense of pride for the country, especially since they felt they were protecting it. This poster was targeting anyone that could be out having a simple conversation with anyone. Mostly, since the example is two women speaking, the poster could’ve been targeted more towards the female gender. It could’ve been targeted more towards women because women are stereotypically known to talk and gossip more than men. Regardless, the poster definitely got its point across and had the ability to make Americans self-conscious of the things they said and whom they said these things…

    Art 100 Paper

    The first two pictures that are being compared are Shirin Neshatb “Allegience with Wakefulness” 1994 and Jasper Johns “Three Flags” 1958. In the “Allegience with Wakefulness” is instrumentalist. It is instrumentalist because it is the writing on this person’s feet is not English and there is a gun between the person’s feet. This might be taken as things that are different from what we are used to be taken as threat. American people in general have a closed minded way of looking at things. The other aesthetic perspective for this art piece that are noted is linguistic. Linguistic are has symbols as well and the gun could also be seen as a symbol. It has words written in it too specifically on the feet. This artistic piece is powerful because it can have so many meanings to it and can mean many things to many different people. “Three Flags” is a linguistic painting. It is obvious that this is a linguistic painting because it is the American flag. The American flag is tied strongly to American culture. It is a symbol of our freedom. Imitationist is the next aesthetic perspective that is seen in this paper, obviously because it looks just like the American flag. The American flag looks like it is popping of the page because of the way they get smaller as they move forward. Both of these art pieces have a strong message behind them. The first one, “Allegience with Wakefulness” has a language in it that most Americans would not be able to understand. It also has a gun which could mean a lot of different things in this particular picture. The second picture “Three Flags” is pretty much the opposite of that. It is very recognizable for everyone in the American culture. It stands for freedom our freedom.…

    American Patriotism During World War II

    The development of posters to promote American patriotism during World War II is an example of propaganda. Propaganda is a form of communication that usually bypasses the intellect and motivates a target group by appealing to their emotions. The posters developed for the home front during World War II were designed to motivate American citizens and develop a sense of patriotism that would turn the United States into an unstoppable war machine. These posters called on all Americans to be part of the war effort, not just by carrying a gun into battle, but in many other important ways. Government programs such as metal and rubber drives may not have meant the difference between winning or losing the war, but the camaraderie and sense of unity…

    Uncle Sam Ethos

    I want you: a three word phrase that immediately brings the image of Uncle Sam to our minds. James Montgomery Flagg is the man behind the curtain, pulling the strings behind the subconscious connection we make between this phrase and Uncle Sam. Flagg is the creator of the iconic Uncle Sam army recruitment poster that we have undoubtedly seen reproduced time and time again. The image was originally published as the cover of the July 6, 1916 issue of Leslie’s Weekly magazine with the title “What Are You Doing for Preparedness?” (Library Of Congress) This poster, patriotic and persuasive, was one of the most popular propaganda tools ever used. By establishing ethos through Uncle Sam, kairos by being used during…

    Chicano Arts Movement

    JUST ANOTHER POSTER? - Chicano Graphic Arts in California, is the first exhibition and book that explores the poster art created by dozens of Chicano artists in California from the late 1960s to the present. I am honored to be among the artists included in this historic collection. Graphic art has played a key role in El Movimiento(the Chicano civil rights movement), and the poster has been used to educate, agitate, and organize Americans of Mexican descent. One could even say that political awareness and social activism grew out of the Chicano arts movement. Chicano art has had many influences. Certainly Mexican artists like José Guadalupe Posada, Frida Kahlo, and David Siqueiros have had their effect, but so have American comic books, Cuban political posters, and spray-painted barrio calligraphy.

    Day of Silence

    The poster is trademarking the Day of Silence. The words across the top read, “October 21st Tuesday 2014” which is when the Day of Silence will be recognized this year. The woman pictured in the center of the top portion of the poster appears to be silent with a red piece of duct tape with the word “LIFE” written across the middle. This is a symbol for those who are supporting the worthy cause. The words across and below the woman read, “Pro Life Day of Silent Solidarity.” The words displayed at the bottom of the poster, “Can you lose your voice for a day for those who will never have one?” reveal the cause of the entire campaign. The campaign is centered on a silent protest against abortion. The babies whose lives are aborted during the pregnancy will always remain silent, for they were never given the chance to defend their lives.…
