OUGD401 - Cop1 - Harvard Referencing Task

Harvard Referencing task



Essay Question I have chosen:
Choosing a particular period from 1800 to present day, in what ways has art/design responded to the changing social and cultural forces of that period? ( at least 2 examples to support this )

In response to this, I have decided to write about 1960s-70s Psychedelic Art/ War art and how the peace movement was affected by events such as the Vietnam War, because I feel I know a lot about this subject.

Books that may assist with my essay writing:

  • Grunenberg, C. (2006) 2nd Ed, 'Summer of Love : Psychedelic Art, Social Crisis and Counterculture', Frankfurt, Schirn Kunstalle.
Library number: 709.065
Why this may assist me: This book talks about the connection between the culture and the art of this period in time.


  • Aulich, J. (2011) 2nd Ed, 'War posters: weapons of mass communication', London, Thames & Hudson.
Library number: 741.67
Why this may assist me:  This book documents the alternative art going on at this time, as opposed to psychedelic. This could be my second example of art used in this essay.
