Exam 4. Part 1 Prompt 2

Propaganda is a picture with messages that tries to change the opinion of large groups of people. Propaganda is different from art because it is more of like a hate speech but it is in a picture form. It tells people what they should want and what they shouldn't with out actually saying it. Some people in the wars thought it was like art because propaganda is a picture of people and things but i don't think it should be considered art because it isn't the same thing. Art is something good and peaceful and propaganda is based on bad things that people don't want. They are different degrees of propaganda like some are just pictures of things like Picasso's Guernica, which some people call it art and some call it propaganda but others are pictures of people being killed and those people are based on real life situations. This is a picture of Picasso's art or propaganda called Guernica. I think this is a very weird type of picture or form of propaganda I don't really understand what it is trying to say and it is not very detailed. It looks like the person on the left is throwing there arms up and screaming toward the sky as if she is in trouble or is mad at something that is happening. There are a few people at the bottom of this picture that look like they might have been killed and if this would be considered propaganda those people could be they people that they don't want around and this is showing they should defeat these people. In this picture there is also an animal like thing in the back round that does not look very happy and looks to be angry at something. There are also some people that are also yelling toward the sky it looks like and most of the other people in this picture look very sad and upset.

The bombing of Guernica was an attack by the Germans that destroyed the painting. It was an attack by the planes Germany had on April 26, 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. This attack by the German's was called Operation Rugen. There were several civilian deaths during this bombing and it had a lot of destruction. During the bombing hundreds of bombs were dropped on the city. This bombing had destroyed three quarters of the city and there was not much left of it. There was about 1600 dead and about 900 wounded out of the around 5,000 people in the city. This was a big blow to there economy and and it had a major effect on the war.
