Field Journal #6

In this week's reading, I have see more familiar art works.

The art works are more like we would see in the history textbook.

The famous one is the Uncle Sam for military duty. Also during the cold war the propaganda.

This is what my country's propaganda of the Spy from the Communism.
I said it's really interesting to see the overlapping and common between different country.
I compared with my country -Taiwan with China and the United States, I have found many similarity.

In the other two chapters, I see the modern art as fundamental.
The most famous will be Pablo Picasso.
But for this week's reading I really focus more propaganda for the war fare related.
I did some research on the propaganda

We could see the similarity of the propaganda, the leaders or the symbolic that represent the country. In one of the art you clearly see the children are used for propaganda during the WWII when Germany, Italy, and Japan are allied. It's clearly showed that not only the leaders would be used as Art symbol so does the woman and children.

As I did more research about Taiwan and China civil war, which at the time involving with the United States

This type of propaganda are used less in the modern time but some does come back because the old vintage is part of the Art form.

Like the Obama campaign on the old art that we see are influenced by the time. 

I would said this week's reading is really interesting. I see how our daily life are still impacted by the art. Its more understandable and more reasonable than past weeks' reading.
