Aubrie Jarvi- World War 1 had a huge and diverse impact on art and how artists expressed
#1
This picture shows a postcard that a soldier sent to their mother. This is evidence of one side of art during WW1, the happy, uplifting side. They used bright colors and pretty things to inspire people to look on the bright side of everything happening and continue fighting. This supports my claim because it is showing one main side of the diverse impact the war had on art.
#2
This image shows a propaganda poster from the time of the war. They used this kind of art to motivate people to support and continue fighting in the war and motivate their American spirit. This supports my claim because this art had a huge, motivational impact on everyone. Men and women were inspired to help out.
