RJA #6b: Search Strings

Well using the advice from my fellow students really helped out quite a bit.
The strings that I found worked best are: propaganda + art
art + media (thanks nick and sean)
RJA #6a: Periodical Articles

Research Journal Assignment # 3

RJ3a: Where I usually begin researching is with either yahoo.com or google.com. From there I type what I'm looking for in the search box, or in this case it typed in my research question, and find myself looking at multiple web pages of information. From there I usually just pick the first one the seems to relate to my topic. Like today, I researched my question and found one good where a city council is no longer going to support political art. So I logged into delicious.com and saved that bookmark. That is pretty much all I do.

RJ3b: I think I may have to expand my topic. Reason being is that every time I reasearch my topic there is a dead end where the only research there is only fits into a couple of paragraphs. In order to write good research paper expansions is necessary. One solution to this problem would be to come up with a good research question that is broad enough to properly gather research.

RJ3c: Who is against political art?
Why is political art such a big deal?
Who supports political art?
Should polticis stay out of art?
What issues do propaganda and art have with eachother?
