4ESO SECOND WORLD WAR project with History and Formació Andorrana. An exhibition of War propaganda

WORLD WAR 2 PROPAGANDA:

AN EXHIBITION

English - Formació Andorrana - History

 

4th ESO

 

World War II, also called Second World War, conflict that involved virtually every part of the world during the years 1939–45. The principal belligerents were the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—and the Allies—France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and, to a lesser extent, China.

 

The use of propaganda seeks people to adhere to an idea. Propaganda in wartime must seek to demoralize enemy morale. A primary objective of propaganda aimed at enemy nations is to break down their will to fight and their receivers to fight against a common enemy.

 

In this exhibition, 4th of ESO students have analysed the use of symbols, colours and caricatures in the propaganda posters used in the Second World War context. In Formació Andorrana and History they have compared their significance in the historical context and the use of propaganda nowadays. In English, they have analysed and compared the advertising codes and the creative use of language, images, colours and symbols.

 



COMMON FEATURES TO IDENTIFY THE HEROS/VILLAINS IN THE WAR PROPAGANDA NARRATIVE

 

IMAGES: The use of symbols, colours, caricatures, national characters, string soldiers, caring women, and children as the most vulnerable part of society who is to be protected as they symbolize the future

 

TEXTS: use of font sizes, bold typography for strength, shape of fonts resembling Hebrew with anti-Semitic messages, the use of colour (red for communism; combined with black and dark colours: danger, violence; use of basic colours.

 

SYMBOLS: swastikas and the double S for the Nazi apparatus, David stars for the Jews, the compass A for the freemasons: sickle and hammer, star and colour red for the communists, rising sun flag for the Japanese empire.
