Focusing on the manual arts such as drawing, painting, and writing. Though this being a large dilemma, I would still strive to stay within the design field for I have always had a love for design. Being a Multimedia Illustrator (25M) for the United States Army, I had the great privilege to viewing posters created to help influence the American public. Such posters would read “You talk of sacrifice” with an image caught on concertina wire dead while the bottom of the poster states “He knew the meaning of sacrifice”. Design split into two major groups in the 1940s, which had been World War II designs and advertising (Jenna, 2014) Designs promoting patriotism and advertising promoting products for the economy at the time had optimistic turn at the time (Jenna,

Our human experiences are shown in many different ways, including through art. Kerry James Marshall was born in Birmingham, Alabama, 1955. The civil rights movement was in his hometown. He was a witness to Watts rebellion in 1965. His father was a postal worker who liked to buy fancy broken watches. Kerry’s father, after the bombing of the four girls, moved the family to Los Angeles. When Kerry went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, he saw that there were no African-American artist, nor African-American paintings. Kerry thought that the story of these people should be told too.

Growing up as a child, no one expects a young one to be out in the fields, in factories or even being a slave working their precious lives away. During one of America’s toughest generations, children were seen doing some of the same jobs and tasks that adults were having to take on. Making less than twenty to twenty five cents a day, children’s lives were at risk for nothing. As time went on, child labor laws were enacted to save children from abuse, neglect, serious injury and even death in the work place. As we sit in history classes, tour museums and take upon us the emotional and sometimes gruesome images from this time period, no words can describe how awful it must have been for one involved. But on the other hand, there was a positive side to the growth and construction of the American Nation through the New York City skyline.

Producing some of the most emotional and life changing photographs of the time, Hine is to be considered a hero for many of many

He was active in the running of the Federal Art Project during the 1930s, he later became assistant professor of fine arts at the University of Iowa. Regarded as “chief philosopher and greatest teacher of representational U.S art,” he was also a vehement proponent of cultural nationalism. He asserted that “A work which does not make contact with the public is lost.”“All the really good ideas I’d ever had had come to me while I was milking a cow. So I went back to Iowa.” He believed artists should adopt a narrative style an create art based on what was unique to the American experience. He created a world where men and women worked collectively for the common good. As in American Gothic (see fi.3), the man and woman’s stern face expressions remind us of the puritan ancestors who worked hard and led a abstinent life. This painting was seen a depiction of the steadfast American pioneering spirit which would rekindle people’s pride in who they were and where they had come from. (Haskell) He created this fable of American resilience and strength when he found a cottage which was designed in the Gothic Revival style with a distinctive upper

According to one of Jo Hopper’s journals of her husband’s works, the Nighthawks painting, which was originally going to be titled “Night Hawks” was completed on January 21, 1942. This painting is most notably one of Hopper’s most famous works.. Hopper is most known as a painter who had a way of portraying emotional themes of loneliness, regret, solitude, mystery, and boredom. By analyzing Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, I will also argue that the emotional theme and setting of the painting is influenced by the events of World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. The sense of emotion evoked by Hopper’s painting is a feeling of loneliness and isolation.

During his art movement in New York he sprayed painted an extravagant art piece that tied to political spectrum, the Horses in Night-Vision Goggles and the soundtrack to go with it made it so realistic. He did a very good job with the color tone that went with the spray painting.
