“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity”
Today in the 21st century, Propaganda is often associated with information that is of a biased or misleading which is used to promote a political cause or a point of view.

Upon viewing the piece, the audience is presented with a twisted reality of the American television sitcom, the Flintstones. the piece consists of Wilma Flintstone positioned on the right with part of her breast on full display while her husband, the lovable Fred Flintstone, has been altered to show the different stages of the evolution of man, in the form of several heads. By appropriating characters from the Flintstones, a show that concerns itself on the juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in a Stone Age setting, Schorr is able to uncover the stereotypical realities of men and women in the 21st century. Schorr has used apes as a symbolic representation of the primitive and the animal nature of man as well as forms a clear relationship between ape and man. In addition, Wilma Flintstone has been portrayed in a sexual manner which; the significant portion of her breasts is visible, which forms a powerful statement that concerns itself with the stereotypical portrayal of men and women in society; men are animals while women are portrayed as sex figures. Furthermore, the strong, vibrant colour scheme creates a luminance cartoon yet realistic appearance which connotes the similarities and comparisons between the show and reality. There is also an evident contrast between colours as darker tones and …show more content…
The piece is a re-imagination of the tale which shows Red Riding Hood as a plump young woman, strolling alone through a sunny forest while slurping a soft drink. The backstory behind this piece that the artist has provided her audience is as stated; “Her whole life, Little Red Riding Hood took care of her mother and grandmother and never did anything for herself or took the time to be good to herself; she’s always giving to others. And she gets to a point where she just doesn’t care anymore, and then when she goes over to her grandmother’, she takes over McDonald’s because it’s fast and convenient.” (The Daily Beast, 2013) In other words, this particular piece highlights the on-going issue of obesity and food disorders in the 21st century and by appropriating the well-known children’s character into this situation, it allows the audience to see the extensive and crucial message that the artist is trying to convey. Similar to her Snow White piece, the composition of the piece have been carefully and artificially arranged yet the general position of the performers don’t seem posed. Additionally, the symbols within the piece obviously heightens the concept such as her well-known red cape which represents the traditional yet innocent symbol and characterisation often associated with Red Riding

Mark Ryden’s work presents the effects of provocative elements on the less-than-innocent in the world. He displays female dominance by using pastel color themes and relates females with some of the first presidents of America while also adding dark humor with severed heads, nudity, and religious figures. With these provocative features, he also exhibits the effects of religion and government on children while also incorporating the effects children have on the world. With the inspiration of children’s toys and oddities, Ryden makes fairytale-like illustrations merged with provocative elements.
You might think war is fought with men and weapons, but one of the most dangerous weapons a country can use is also an unexpected one. Propaganda was one of the most dangerous weapons that was used in World War 2 by both the Nazis and the Allies. War is fought with men and weapons but, how do you get those men to join your cause. This is where propaganda comes in, but let’s start at the beginning.
"Riding The Red"at first glance is a simple narrative with a grandmother telling a story about a wolf, but with further analyzation the two themes of first love and innocent become very clear. The author’s repetition of certain words like blood and dance directs your attention to a deeper meaning hinting and connections to the "Little Red Riding Hood" which reflects back to the underlining message of what happens when a girl grows up.
Wearing her trademark crimson hood, which symbolizes her naivety and purity, Little Crimson Riding Hood finds herself at the mercy of the crafty wolf's raptorial tendencies. As the narrative progresses, her trip through the forest represents the treacherous transition from infancy to maturity, where perils can appear out of nowhere. Little Red Riding Hood falls victim to the wolf's trickery, but her innate bravery and resourcefulness are shown when she deftly outwits the predator with the woodcutter's prompt intervention. In Roald Dahl's tale "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf," innocence shifts. This is because Miss Riding Hood's cloak had transformed following her encounter with the wolf, making it visible to others.

Propaganda is a form of rhetoric that manipulates information to influence public opinion. It lacks critical balance as it overemphasizes elements that support a position and ignores opposing viewpoints. Although propaganda, in its original sense, could be used to promote positive causes, it has acquired a negative connotation and is used as a pejorative to describe ideological messages that people usually disagree with. Film is regarded as the most effective medium to distribute propaganda to a large audience of different classes. “In comparison with other arts, film has a particular forceful and lasting psychological and propagandistic impact because of its effect not on the intellect, but principally on the emotions and the visual sense” (Interview with Fritz Hippler qtd.
