Propaganda

Propaganda takes the form of art because it attracts attention more easily. People notice pictures more than a whole bunch of words, because it is easier to get the main point of the picture than have to read the whole page explaining every little detail of something. Also art can be fun and easy to make, rather than typing something. There are not a lot of other ways to make propaganda than art. Propaganda is mostly posters, comercials, songs, exc. Which makes it mostly creative and therefore art.

Knowledge Issue- North Korea

A knowledge issue associated with North Korea is that their only forms of art have to do with their leaders, or pro-government ideas. When there was art on the walls it was of Kim Jung Il or his relative (dad?… brother?) and the mural on the wall was soliders. This is an issue because that makes less individualism in North Korea, and everything little kids see is art and stories about Kim Jung Il, this makes it so the kids never learn about anything else, like art from other cultures or different view points from other countries.

This is a knowledge issue because with limited art then there is not a lot of emotion behind the art, and then the art doesn’t have a real quailty to it, or meaning behind it.
