Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Examine the two advertisements above. In your opinion, is advertisement, like the two above, a form of art? Use terms and concepts from the lesson to support your opinion.

Answer:

Yes, I think advertising is a form of applied art because it uses visual elements and design principles to communicate with an audience. The Nike swoosh uses a simple curved shape and strong contrast to create a recognizable, memorable image. Like other art, it is designed to make an impression, but it also has the practical purpose of promoting a product. Its composition shows how graphic design can combine creativity with a clear message.
