Abstract
Abstract This artistically eclectic survey of art in public health campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic in Plateau State of Nigeria covered 2 Local Government Areas, each, in: Southern Zone - Shendam and Langtang LGAs, Central zone - Mangu and Pankshin LGAs, Northern Zone - Barkin Ladi, and Jos North LGAs. The study population was 2, 400 (Males; 1, 611 and females; 789). The objectives were to: (i) determine the art forms used to spread public health information in the urban and rural areas, (ii) find out whether indigenous or modern art forms are more effective for public health information, and (iii) ascertain how art was used in the promotion of public health. The study instruments were: (i) the Art-COVID-19-PAC questionnaire, used to gather data from the respondents, and (ii) the Art-COVID-19-PAC Response Frequency Desk, for data percentage rating. Findings showed that the art forms used for public health information were; posters, drawing, graffiti, cartoons, painting, bill boards, hand bills, stickers, engraving, flex banners, and neon signs. Modern fly-posting, mascots, lettering, ceramics, environmental sculpture, textile, graffiti, animation and photography were found more effective than indigenous art. Art was used for awareness, production, usage direction, protocol materials, and strategic display.
