Subject: Arts
Content of the Lesson: Check the epsiode about memes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnEj6rMegXA Sometimes an image can be so powerful, so profound.. that it has the power to convey the complexity of an entire political era in a single frame. That's exactly the reason why our school books and newspapers are filled with political cartoons. But where do they come from.. and how are they linked to 16th and 17th-century satire and propaganda? Welcome to Is This Art? Where we take a closer look at pop culture and try to answer the age-old question: is this art? Thanks for visiting our RijksTube Channel!
