The Arts during the Great Depression and the New Deal

While I was looking at the site, the arts of the Great depression articles sparked my interest so I had to write a post about it. I learned that many Americans believed because of Roosevelt, American culture had not abandon any imagination, humor, and downright fun because of the hardships that were currently going on at the time. With government patronage to the arts, it inspired many people to become creative, create entertainment, and promote American culture from America to the world.
The creativeness appeared in music, newspapers, the radio, and the movies. I learned that even John Steinbeck and John Ford even found creative inspirations from these times, which showed in their works. Though the New Deal had many weaknesses, it however proved that democracy could survive and adapt. Anyway, I really did enjoy learning that the Americans back then could find it within themselves to have a good time and be creative even during the bad times.
