The Cold War affect American culture by influencing American recreational activities. The national security encouraged Hollywood filmmakers to make movies that were about anticommunism and they made movies like The red menace and they reserved from using dark American historical movements. The government made sure that the public only supported positive aspects of America. Also during the cold war, a lot of the art work were held from the public viewing because it portrayed American government…

the day. That is when I realized the man he is tattooing is a Sailor. And that's when all emotion went into this painting. The artist achieved a very strong meaning with this painting-- tattoos are permanent just like the names of the five women. Rockwell did a fantastic job with this oil painting. First off with the size he used the space nicely the two men in the photo do not cover up the entire canvas and they’re straight in the middle which to me is very pleasing, also, the color in his work…

During the 1960s, even though America was caught up in its current prosperity, a different cultural movement was making itself known. Through music, drugs, and the Civil Rights Movement, a group of people known as hippies, impacted society by challenging the status quo.

The propaganda used in World War II stirred both pride and fear in the hearts of Americans by reaffirming the American family model, instilling fear of Nazi Germany and creating a draw to help in the war. During the time of World War II, many American families took pride in America’s ability to provide…

Adams “I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.” My thoughts: It is tempting, but too easy, to think of Ansel Adams as simply the Norman Rockwell of landscape photography, immensely popular but insignificant. Every year there is yet another books produced capturing some aspect of his career, another calendar featuring his breathtaking black-and-white views of Yosemite Valley in…

Art, whether it be paintings, statues, sculptures, etc., is meant to provoke and inspire the audience. Artists use different techniques in order to provoke the feeling they want, or to display the message they feel is important, sometimes, these techniques could offend members of the audience; however, censoring art does not prevent offending/corrupting the audience, but rather limits exposure to real life situations such as racism/hate speech, sexuality, and graphic material.
