CGSA Napoleon Propaganda by Pontus Hiort https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou en-us 2018-10-15 00:14:40 UTC 2025-10-30 11:00:58 UTC hello@padlet.com Kylie https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293027953  1. Stands out as this untouched very worth man on a horse whereas the other men in the background are bent other trying to protect themselves. Napoleon has no need to protect himself because he is so powerful. The clothes he is wearing look very expensive and nice.
2. You can see a woman clinging to Napoleon. Everyone on the boat looks terrified for their life and Napoleon has sort of a brave look and is standing strong
3. On a grand chariot with a leaf crown, standing besides him is what looks to be an angel. This shows how Napoleon is worthy enough to be on a chariot with an angel. There are women around him dancing while others are playing music. As if his presence is a celebration.]]> 2018-10-15 19:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293027953 Margaret White https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028091
  • I think the best and most convincing form of propaganda for Napoleon is the third image with the chariot because Napoleon is in the center of the painting, showing that he is great, powerful, and important. He is surrounded by Gods, which shows that he is like a God because he is so benevolent. Also, everyone is surrounding him and gathered to see him and it looks like they are all happy to see him. 
  • I think that the French Revolution was the first time in history that propaganda was used on a widespread scale because this was one of the first times that the all world was involved in a war, so there were so many sides of the story to hear. Therefore, there was so much propaganda because there were many different aspects of the Revolution that supported one side or the other.

    - in the mountains
    - strong imagery
    - expensive clothing 
    - center of action, center of the painting
    - bright colors to show his importance
    second painting:
    - he is helping people, which shows that he is caring too
    - helping the little children, compassionate
    - strong emotionally and physically
    third painting:
    - in a carriage, center of attention
    - surrounded by wealth and money
    - everyone is gathered there for him
    1. I think the 3rd painting probably, because he is pictured being worshipped and fully respected by his people 
    2. I think that this time period was really important for propaganda because the French wanted to show the whole world that their leader was the best and should be respected]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028159     Zoe A https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028231 1. The most convincing painting of Napoleon is the first one, because of the following aspects. He is wearing clothing that are obviously only belonging to one that has a lot of wealth. They are very colorful, and attract the eye. He is in a very bold position and looks like he is conquering the entire mountain range because he seems to be larger than the mountains in the back. He is the only aspect in the photo that is in focus. He is pointing upwards to possibly symbolize that France would only improve and go up from the point that it was at.

    2. I think propaganda was sprung in the French Revolution because there was a contrast of ideas, and a lot of controversial points regarding Napoleon. There were many different thoughts and viewpoints, so people were constantly in battle over who was correct. T

     - he is flying in the air on a horse 
    - his clothes are clean and perfect when fighting a war=helps show he is perfect human being 
    -big mountains 
    -looks brave
    2. 
    -makes him look kind
    -great leader
    -helps/cares for his people
    -does the right thing
    -false- touching and picking up poor people that live there
    3.
    - dressed like a god
    -kids look like angels/wearing wings
    -golden chariot 
    4. I think propaganda was used more because there were many different ideas/ thoughts regarding Napoleon and his leadership over the country. ]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028276     Sophie https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028297 Picture 1: 
    -Makes him look fearless 
    -you can see his army fighting in the background
    -his name is on a stone and could possibly symbolize that it is his claimed land
    Picture 2:
    -This shows him caring for his people
    -He's shown holding a woman
    -Everyone looks distressed 
    Picture 3:
    - On a chariot
    -Surrounded by women 
    - Babies carrying an olive branch showing victory 
    - 

    1.)I think the painting that is most convincing piece of propaganda is the Triumph of Bonaparte, because in i feel that it depicts him almost god-like. I think this because he is up on a chariot which makes him above everyone and he is surrounded by women and naked babies that are holding what could be an olive branch which can symbolize victory
    2.)]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028297     Cameron Tierney https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028302 Painting 1: Napoleon is the most colorful thing in the picture which makes him the most important.  He's also riding a horse and looking regal and impressive.
    Painting 2: Napoleon is helping the people in the boat and saving them from the flood so he is good.  He has a feathery hat and looks like he knows what to do to take care of them and it's like he's one of them.
    Painting 3: He's in a chariot which reminds me of Rome.  They conquered and are responsible for some great things and ruling pretty well for the most part.  He's higher up than the peasants and regular people and doesn't have to walk as he has horses pulling him.  Everyone looks like they love him.
    4. I believe either the first or third are the best forms of propaganda as they depict him as regal and a good leader.  He looks almost holy in the third one.
    5. I believe it was because Napoleon had a lot of people to reign and this could help make his job easier as people would be more inclined to trust him.]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028302     sally h https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028451 Picture 1
    -He is pointing to the sky and elevated on a horse; shows he is the closest to the sky which is closest to gods
    -Horse looks scared; scared of his power
    -Detailed Clothing; shows wealth
    -He is on a horse while other in the background are wheeling around a canon by feet
    -center of picture
    -very big

    Picture 2
    -They are all looking up to him
    -He is wearing different clothing, cleaner
    -Only one standing
    -women and children

    Picture 3
    -In the middle of what looks like an angel and wife
    -Whole crowd is transporting him and most ppl are following him
    -Elevated above most ppl
    -Some people are looking at him

    1.The most convincing picture to prove propaganda is probably the third. The first shows him riding a horse which could be average because you are not compared to the rest of the crowd. The second picture he is shown helping others but that doesn't necessary show great importance. The third shows him in the center with many people revolving around him. This shows he is very popular with many people taking him somewhere. He is transported and surrounded by all ages and different types of people.
    2. I think that propaganda was sprung from the French Revolution because there were many people that didn't support Napoleon. Because of this, they needed to create something that supported Napoleon. They created the propaganda so that Napoleon gained more support and was favored more. ]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028451     Annie Edmonds https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028492 1. I think that the best and most convincing form of propaganda is the is the Napoleon Crossing the Alps painting. The reason I think this is because this painting makes Napoleon look very strong, brave, and important. It shows Napoleon riding a horse with one hand which makes him look brave and he is wearing nice clothing.
    2. I think that propaganda was first used during the French Revolution because they needed people to like Napoleon and in order to do that they have to make him seem like a ]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028492     Molly https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028505 1. I think Napoleon crossing the alps is the best example of propaganda because he is depicted larger than everything in the painting almost even the mountains. The colors are all muted, except those making up his clothing showing not only his importance but his wealth. 
    2. I think propaganda became more frequently used during the french revolution because there were so many new and contrasting ideas/opinions. I think any of it that supported Napoleon was to reinforce the idea that he held the most power and to control how the people from all over thought of him. ]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028505     Lois https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028533 1.) I think that the second picture in which Napoleon is shown saving the women and children seems to be the the most convincing form of propaganda. You can tell that amidst everyone's fear and anxiety Napoleon is stepping up to save them. Two of the children look at him devotedly as if he is their savior. Also, by putting children in the picture, people view him as such a hero because he's stepping up to save the poor babies from the war and terror. 
    2.)  I think that propaganda really sprung up during the French Revolution because the people who were supporting Napoleon wanted to prove their point that Napoleon was in fact the best leader. ]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028533     Guinevere https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028564 1. Napoleon is wearing a large piece of cloth as a cape in the first photo, but he seems to be in battle and that clothing would be impractical to fight in. This is obviously not what it looks like in battle, but it is making him seem regal and brave at the same time. He is also pointing as if he was leading his soldiers but there are soldiers already fighting in front of him which reveals that he may not have been front leading them. 
    2. In the second photo there are men, including Napoleon, saving women and children by getting them out in boats. This portrays Napoleon as a savior. He is also holding a child so it appeals to women and helps attain their vote because of a mother and child's love. 
    3. The third photo makes him seem extremely powerful and mighty because he is also surrounded by women which was praised during that time. ]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028564     Anna https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028569 painting 1
    -it makes him look special
    -he is the most colorful
    -he looks important
    -he looks powerful
    -makes him look like someone you should trust.
    painting 2
    -makes him look like he is helpful
    -makes him look like he will sacrifice for them
    -like he cares for them
    -like he is going to help them.
    -he wants to do the right thing
    painting 3
    -makes him look like a God
    -makes him look like someone you should worship
    -makes him look like them people trust him
    -It makes him look like someone you should follow
    -Someone who knows what to do when the time comes.

     1. I think that the first painting was the most convincing one because it made him look like he was very realistic. It also made him look like he was someone who would fight for them and wanted to help the people. He was actually fighting for the people.
    2. I think that it was the first time that it was really used at a world wide situation because he was very well know. he was also concurring lots of lands]]>     2018-10-15 19:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028569     charlotte https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028823 1 The most convincing painting is Napoleon in The Flood. In the other paintings, the picture is all about Napoleon and how heroic he is. While, in The Flood, Napoleon is not the main figure. He is saving a child during the flood and helping other people instead of himself.  So when you you look at the Flood, you think of what a amazing and self sacrificing leader Napoleon is.
    2. Propaganda sprung for the first time during the french revolution because Napoleon was leader. Napoleon wanted the people of France to like hims so he advertised and made himself look good with propaganda. ]]>     2018-10-15 19:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293028823     Charlie https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293031288 1. He is shown as a leader. His name is carved in the ground. He is in nice clothes and triumphing
    2. He is holding a poor person and helping others. He is showing that he is not afraid to help the poor. He is with women and children. ]]>     2018-10-15 19:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293031288     Kate https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/twfpw9upsgou/wish/293032802 1)
