2,875 words (approx. 11.5 pages) | 10 sources | APA | 2008 United States


Paper Summary:

The paper relates that because it is used in commercial, military and political applications, illustration also acts as a means to trace social and cultural history. The paper therefore looks at the many well-known illustrators in America's history in order to show how the mediums and types of illustration have changed with the times. The paper looks at several illustrators who were politically affiliated and expressed their beliefs through their artwork.

From the Paper:

"Today, with the high-tech electronic communication and the ease of using computers to conceive of, draw, or refine artwork, it is difficult to conceive of an environment where there were few visuals and all had to be done by hand one-by-one. The creativity that existed through this artwork has been "illustrious," where each designer uses an "illustration" or an image to enhance or make communication more attractive. "Illustration is a communicative tool, clarifying and defining our understanding of the world" (National museum of American illustration). Because it is used in commercial, military and political applications, illustration also acts as a means to trace social and cultural history. It is a significant and lasting art form that provides an actual visual record of civilization."
