Hi again cadets. Since we are ending our Semester studing the Cold War, Korean and Vietnam conflict we are going to do something different this time. Your task this week is to find music or art that created during periods of conflict and to post that information onto our site. You must post a video, image and URL about your piece. Hopefully this will open your eyes to different issues or items that were an outcome of these conflicts that did not always depict horror or tragedy. Lastly, remember to post comments on your peer's work and I hope that you have a great time with this blog. Here is my posting that features Spike Jones, a musician from the 30's to the 60's that was an inspiration to Weird Al Yankovic.

ReplyDeleteThis image is like a propaganda for the Korean Conflict. On it says "Communism is making North Korea deaf". It shows China blocking or covering the ear that is listening to talks of freedom and anti-communinsm. Meanwhile the other ear is taking in everything the communists have to say.

ReplyDeleteThis image shows a young Vietnamese man holding a machine gun in one hand and a grenade in the other. This shows that the youth in Vietnam was influenced by war.

ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty lengthy video, although if you skip to about the first minute it starts off at a good point, it's a depiction of the Soviet propaganda during the cold war and shows the different forms of government fighting communism, democracy and capitalism.

ReplyDeleteOne aspect of the Cold War that greatly influenced the art movements of the time was the space race. The space race led to the birth of futurism within art. Here is an article describing the basic aspects of futurism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri35yfFh2bg
And here is an image and a video of Umberto Boccioni's "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" which is located at MoMA: http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=81179
