THE POWER TO PERSUADE: Visual design in propaganda   One of the objectives of the visual arts is to inform and convince people of an idea, a concept, a political tendency, or any issue that requires handling or manipulating information. The arts are an important part of propaganda because of the direct and effective action of a visual image. The objective of your project will be to produce a work of art where you aim to persuade your audience of a particular issue, point of view, or idea. Left: Uncle Sam, symbol of the USA.
What is “Propaganda”? Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation directly aimed at influencing the opinions of people, rather than impartially providing information.  In some cultures the term is neutral or even positive, while in others the term has acquired a strong negative connotation. Strictly speaking, a message does not have to be untrue to qualify as propaganda, but it may omit so many pertinent truths that it becomes highly misleading.
