As seen on posters

Victoria's presentation locked us in on how modernism and its methods in art were geared towards the creation of propaganda for the war effort, much of that propaganda being in the form of a poster. Half of our classtime was spent focusing on this concept, then she instructed us to play pictionary in groups. I found it very interesting that more people understood the word we were trying to portray better and quicker if the pictographer simply drew the object(or rather a representation of the object) itself(like show airplane by drawing an airplane). I chose to draw a person using the object I was supposed to show(a pen) and even though people ended up understanding it, it still probably took more time than it would if I had just simply drawn a pen. Most of the questions we went over were from chapter 13 and had a focus on Futurism and Dadaism and the way they function. I was able to contribute my two cents on Dadaism. Overall it was a nice day of learning for me.
