I think that mostly all propaganda takes the form of art because our visual senses stimulate the most empathetic feeling, or triggers something we can relate to. For example would you feel more compelled to send food to Africa if you heard some kid saying “I am so hungry”, or would be more likely to send food if you saw a child who was malnourished, and had a bloated belly and a fly on his eye ball?. I think we all know the answer to this question. Also art is a way for us to express our feelings visually. Art is a better medium for conveying a message.
