  1. Throughout history, art has been used as propaganda to shape public opinion. Propaganda takes many forms, such as architecture, paintings, and print media, and is used to promote religious, political, and social ideologies. Select and fully identify two works, in any medium, that were used to shape public opinion. One of your examples must date before 1900 C.E., and one must date after 1900 C.E. Citing specific elements in each work, analyze how each work conveyed its propagandistic message to its intended audience. (30 minutes) Q.#2 - 2010 Long Essay Review Examples Pt. 2

  3. PABLO PICASSO, Guernica, 1937. Oil on canvas, 11’ 5 1/2” x 25’ 5 3/4”. Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid.

  4. VERA MUKHINA, Worker and Collective Farm Worker. Sculpture for the Soviet Pavilion, Paris Exposition, 1937. Stainless steel, approx. 78’ high.

  5. Score: 9 The essay provides two solid identifications, Augustus of Prima Porta and Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party. The student points to specific aspects of the Augustus, such as the breastplate, and describes how they symbolize propaganda. Each reference to the sculpture is accompanied by an indication as to how this is meant to be interpreted by the public. A sense of audience is expressed by the phrase “[v]iewers seeing this” (“Viewers seeing this could be awed at not only his military status but also his thoughtful nature”). The discussion of The Dinner Party also stresses a parallel relationship between the specific elements of the work and how these elements convey propaganda. Expressions such as “[s]he gets the viewer to think” and “Chicago’s piece really persuades the viewer” acknowledge the role of the audience. The discussion is full, and there are no significant errors. This essay earned a score of 9.

  6. Cultures designate sacred space in a variety of ways to accommodate both religious beliefs and practices.
