A propeller works by converting the rotation of the engine into horizontal thrust similar to a fan. The blades push the air backwards creating acceleration, and create a difference in pressure between the forward and rear surface adding to the movement.
The above is, of course true for a boat propeller. For an airplane propeller Bernoulli's pincipal is involved. Bernoulli's principle states that the greater the speed of a fluid, the less the lateral pressure. So the propeller uses the same deal as the wing.

How does the airplane propeller work?
The curved shape of the propeller deflects airflow to it's rear. This is 'thrust' that propels an aircraft.
How do guns work on planes without hitting propeller?
Where the gun fires through the propeller, the two are mechanically connected and timed so that the rounds will pass between the blades of the propeller.
