How can we convince people to see things from our point of view? What’s the best way to get a point across? What points are other people making?
Every day, we see and hear hundreds of messages that want to convince us of one thing or another. They do this by using different persuasive techniques to get their point across. Throughout history, these persuasive techniques have allowed the military to send memorable messages to the public – messages like Rosie the Riveter’s “We can do it!” and Uncle Sam’s “I want you.” Join us at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library on Saturday, April 1st to explore the art of persuasion through the lens of persuasive military ad campaigns. We will explore some persuasive military posters from history, and then create some persuasive posters of our own.
