This is different than propaganda because propaganda usually creates negative emotions in whoever sees it. In this image the symbol of the donkey is supposed to symbolize democrats, the symbol of the bulldozer is supposed to symbolize destruction, and the wall is supposed to symbolize America and how the bulldozer is destroying it. Overall the message is that the donkey is distracting you from the bulldozer destroying the wall.]]> 2022-09-08 14:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288280732 https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288290922 Political Cartoon - A political image used to taunt a person or sway the reader 

Propaganda is more of a lie and not so much a fun cartoon.

The three symbols are the people, who are leaders in America, the ship which represents America, and the sea drop off which represents how America is close to a breaking point.

A Political Cartoon can either be used to uplift a political idea or to throw one under the bus and make that political idea look bad. Propaganda, on the other hand, usually is a piece of information that is false or over exaggerated to degrade a political opinion or agenda. In this political cartoon, the artist shows Donald Trump as President. To his face, his men tell him that they will do what he says and respect him, and when they walk out the door, they throw away his orders and talk bad about him. This political cartoon influences audiences to believe that even Trump's own men think he's stupid and a moron, so why should anyone vote for him? They make him look like a tyrant. Political cartoons can be very influential for voters and for influencing people's beliefs on a political stance. ]]> 2022-09-08 14:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288301006 https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288305377 A Political Cartoon uses humor and/or illustration to communicate the opinion of the illustrator or a political situation.

This political cartoon is trying to tell people about how the world is viewing how China and the USA handle their economics, and how the USA is doing compared to China. The "Economic Super Bowl" sign represents how China and the USA are supposed to be the leading powers of the world. The USA team fighting each other is supposed to signify how the USA is defeating itself without China having to do anything. The stadium setting and the packed crowds represent the rest of the world watching this all unfold. The cartoon likely is trying to tell people that the USA needs to get their act together if they want to compete with China in any way, as you can't play the game if your team is fighting against itself.]]> 2022-09-08 14:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288305863 https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288306441 A political cartoon is a drawing or cartoon that usually mocks a current political situation using some sort of comedy to get the point across. Propaganda on the other hand, is a cartoon or painting that is not always comedic, most often being used as a way to create fear or anger. 

The image above is a political cartoon about Covid and monkey pox. The author used popular cartoon characters, Buggs Bunny and Daffy Duck to point out that Covid is still in effect, but now there is also monkey pox.

Children shouldn't be eating foods like mac and cheese every night for dinner but media has normalized children eating foods that risk chronic diseases to make money. ]]> 2022-09-08 14:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288306677 https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288307999 A political cartoon is a cartoon that makes a point about a political issue or event.

I attached a political cartoon created for the Be An #ArtsHero movement, highlighting the struggling state of arts workers after Covid. Not just highlighting visual artists, the men on the side include all arts workers. The use of Edvard Munch shows that someone who is world renown is even struggling in the current face of society. Something that was so great then, is facing great trials now.]]> 2022-09-08 14:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288311284 https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288313681 A political cartoon is a cartoon used to depict  politics and people in power.

They're different from propaganda because the goal of propaganda is to spread false ideas, news, and to twist/contort political leaders and political ideas to persuade the audience. Propaganda doesn't use humor and it instead uses false information and evokes a sense of seriousness and fear.

3 symbols:
1. The rim around the sift represents the U.S. and Mexico border.
2. The sift itself represents how many people such as the border patrol officers are not able to control the border as well as they should be.
3. The material falling through the sift represents the amount of people that are unseen and are able to pass through the border without being seen. (and the way the sugar is very fine, so it represents a quantity of "millions of people" passing through easily)]]> 2022-09-08 14:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288315847 https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288316248 A political cartoon is an image that uses a comedic art-style to taunt an figure or figures on an other political party.

Epic uses an apple on the dude's head to represent Apple. In the parody fornite uses silhoutes of characters to represent dehuminzed people. Fortnite also uses characters from the game to mock actors that were in the original ad. Also the person with the apple head is to represent a dictator or head of a monopoly.]]> 2022-09-08 15:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288419420 https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288443533 - A political cartoon is an image that is used to explain a political topic.

1. A big Trump fan is asking Biden why America isn't unified but doesn't realize he is a cause in that

2. Biden looks like a deer in the headlights while looking at this guy

A political cartoon is an animation used to represent a political topic in a way that uses comedy. 

2. Propaganda is when false or inaccurate information is displayed to an audience to persuade them of an idea. Which is the complete opposite of a political cartoon because it is not humorous and factual. 

3.

This political cartoon is addressing the abortion issue. On one side, we see a monster under the republican sign and a lady surrounded by butterflies under the democrat sign. 
1. The monster is illustrating how republicans are viewed to the artist as heartless creatures only caring about the birth and not the life of the mother. The words "forced birth" are written on his shirt. 2. The lady on the right represents the liberal side that offer abortions to mothers with unwanted pregnancies. 
3. The lady on the right also has the word "choice" on her shirt, representing the Democratic view on abortion that it is the mother's choice on what to do with her body. ]]> 2022-09-08 16:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/beverlyl2/PropB1/wish/2288502205
