Additionally, the colonists had to promote this rhetoric of indians being primitive in order to get rid of the guilt of massacring, raping, and destabilizing multiple tribes and millions of indigenous people. However, the reality is, though their culture and art customs differed vastly…

Expressionism is like nonrepresentational art in that did not portray a clear defined picture. This type of art was made popular by Jackson Pollock; One example of his art is, “number 1” made in 1949. This type of art used heavy brush strokes or a drip technique used by Jackson Pollock. This movement was a rebellion against cubism, nonrepresentational, surrealism, and dada. It started in New York in the early 1900’s after world war 2 as a new way to look art. Bauhaus was a…

Staying true to the ideologies of street art, he's built many celebrated bodies of work, all permanent and impermanent, that utilizes satire, sabotage, dark humor, and irony to create significant social, political, and humanist messages for the population on a public level.

Cubism (The Art Story, Web.). As Surrealism came nearly after World War I and World War II, artists decided to recreate the destruction left behind turning into a fantasy. Fantasy: the imagination above the reality of life, which was illustrated as art. The combination of the two eras led to the creation of an art form that was unknown and out of the art world.

Equal in terms of its power to the military activities, propaganda appeared to be a more subtle fight between the confronting states. Many people were involved in spreading the information that would bring benefits…

The subject of War and the Soul is difficult enough, but to put one’s feelings and thoughts into artwork, for others to see and frankly judge, this is difficult. At first I was excited about the project of bringing a message through art…
