There might be slogans aimed at supporting the troops, war-oriented films, or a number of shows using the war as a backdrop for their material. The arts can also be influenced by war depending on the topic at hand, whether it's propaganda posters or protest materials depending on how it's viewed.

For example, in entertainment, look at the effect that the Iraq War and the ongoing war on terrorism is having within the US. There's "The Hurt Locker", "Green Zone", and on television, you have shows like "Homeland".

On the more extreme end of the scale in terms of art, there's North Korea which is still technically at war with South Korea. There's a huge body of art within their museums dedicated to showing their soldiers in the absolute best way possible as heroes and struggling martyrs against the United States and South Korea.
