Why does nearly all propaganda take the form of art?

I believe that nearly all propaganda take the form of art as an immediate way of attracting attention. People like colorful things so therefore, there is no doubt that they would not stop to stare at a piece of proganda hanging on the streets somewhere. Art is a very strong medium and it is usually the first thing that catches peoples eyes therefore it is an excellent way of expression and persuasion. As humans, we tend to prefer the more simple route so using art to promote propaganda would be more effective rather than writing for example. I think we can all agree that art is one of the most effective way of promoting propaganda. It just works on people better.
