"Germany’s Sculptor": Propaganda and the Visual Arts in the Third Reich

Description:

This lesson provides an opportunity for students to examine how art and images were used as propaganda in Nazi Germany. Analyzing a cartoon published in Germany in 1933, students will explore a primary document which illustrates how the visual arts were forced into complete submission to censorship and National Socialist "coordination." They will learn about the "aryanization" of art in Nazi Germany and look at examples of both the art the Nazis promoted in their exhibitions, parades and monumental sculpture as well as the "degenerate," modern art they ridiculed and banned. Lastly, they will learn how to look at images critically – to interpret their implicit and explicit messages.
