Propaganda Do Now



When was this picture created? For what purpose?

Talk about the composition of this image. Use 2 PREACH principles.

This picture was first created in 1916. This was a form of poster propaganda in order to persuade men to take part in World War I and fight for their country. This image uses alignment and proximity to guide the reader's attention to the poster and not be distracted.

Unusual Art Deco


This unusual art deco piece is defined as art deco because of its principles within. For example, its modern and industrious pattern shows that it was an art form inspired from the 1920s. Its contrast with the red vs. soft colors and the simple forms presented make it a true art deco piece. Although different from the usual geometric lines and forms, this piece still represents art deco with smooth lines.

Intro to Art Deco



1) Have you ever seen an image that looks like this? If so, say when. Do you know what this kind of image is called?

I have seen images similar to this in Ms. Lalande's art deco prezi. Pictures of straight buildings were popular to draw. This image is an example of art deco.

2) When do you think this image was created?

This image was probably created around the late 1920's, sometimes called the "roaring 20s", a time where industry and wealth was at its height. 

3) Use at least 3 elements of art (line shape space color texture value form) to describe the image.

This picture has a brick texture, distinct and bold graphic lines, and form within the buildings.
