Ginny Hutnik March 3, 2013 Art/101 Reading Art – Understanding Iconography TIMOTHY KERLIN

A brief explanation of the four roles of the artist
According to the text in Chapter 1, there are four roles of the artist:

1) they help us to see the world in new and innovative ways;

2) they create a visual record of their time and place;

3) they make functional objects and structures more pleasurable by imbuing them with beauty and meaning; and

4) they give form to the immaterial ideas and feelings.

An explanation of why your work exemplifies one specific role, as discussed in Ch. 1

I have to say I looked up about Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 I think it is fascinating.

I believe that it seems to be another version of The Man of LaMancha, is a man is covered in

the newspapers that was on a fire. They made a choice of covering the man that was in the

newspaper that was burning that made a lot of sense to the story and the book was about

censorship.Joseph Mugnaini fulfills was a role number one that was helping the viewers to see

that the world in news and innovative that there was ways to take the idea of a knight and then

changing his armor to the newspaper. The ideas that was taking with old iconic character like

the knight, and putting a new spin on how one should interpret his role. Maybe the knight is

on fire because the knight is losing his battle and just like the main character in Bradbury’s
novel.

    As the Civil War concluded and the era of Reconstruction began, America tried to cure the tribulations society had fostered. More specifically, the Progressive Movement tried to repair the problems by reformation and cultivation of a better country. Some activists removed themselves from civilization and created utopian communities, while others struggled for equal rights and temperance. However, the success of all reforms came greatly from the work of “muckraking” journalists and the exposure they generated. These progressive journalists commented on not only reforms, but also on the corruption that was causing the people to rebel. Reporters like Lincoln Steffens and Upton Sinclair brought attention to nation-wide topics of government corruption and food safety regulations. These articles were written in extremely popular magazines and newspapers like McClure Magazine and The World newspaper, and paved the way for publications of today like Cosmopolitan and Redbook. Today, we think of “muckraking” as a typical part of life—just simply the way we receive our news. But beginning in the late 1800s, a group of journalists later referred to as “muckrakers” banded together to expose and to inform the public of the immense corruption of many social issues, and thus, changed the way society was viewed.…

    The value of nobility in the middle ages can hardly be questioned. The majority of nobles lived a life of luxury, having riches beyond the wildest dreams of commoners. When one thinks of medieval knights, nobility is often comes to mind, but did knights have to be members of the noble class? Sir Thomas Malory’s “The Tale of Sir Gareth” examines this question and presents an interesting view as to the true value of a knight. Malory uses the actions of important characters to reveal his opinion that the nobility of a knight was secondary to his integrity, courage, and benevolence.…

    Medieval times were a time when honor was valued above all other qualities. All knights, the highest models of medieval manhood, adhered to a code of chivalry. When properly followed, this code allowed men to be truly honorable. Among the qualities most highly esteemed were integrity, loyalty, and courage. The clearest examples of chivalry were King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The Pearl Poet vividly illustrates the concepts of chivalry in his epic poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, where Sir Gawain is characterized as a very honorable, chivalrous knight. Throughout the poem, Gawain’s unceasing commitment to his code of chivalry provides a protection against, thus proving the value and necessity of chivalry.…

    I will obviously also talk about piety, which remains a crucial component of knighthood, but can be found in all of these aspects, to reinforce them, by fixing a knight's status and legitimacy. First of all, according to medieval sources, knights were the main and only military force, as can be proved by the fact that, for instance, Geoffroi de Charny wrote an entire manual meant to explain to knights how to fight more efficiently.6 Then, the knights were also at the top of the medieval society, as it is explained in the Prose…

    Monty Python Themes

    A knight is someone who is looked upon to be brave, mature and wise in his understandings. He should be strong in his courage when it comes time to defeat the enemy, as in the tale Beowulf. Beowulf looks to be brave and strong when he goes in to fight Grendel and after he has defeated him and his mother. That outlook on who a knight is to be is twisted in the tale Monty Python. The knights in Monty Python ride on imaginary horses and argue over pointless things and seem as if they are just spilling out the first thing that pops to their minds. Sometimes the argument will start off on one thing and be something entirely different by the end.…

    Knights. These ironclad men of honor were the defining feature of the Middle Ages, becoming heroes and villains in post-medieval literature alike. Stories like The Once and Future King, a King Arthur story, are widely popular today for one reason: not because they are great sources of fantasy, but because they contain knights. Sir Lancelot, Sir Grummore, and Sir Gawaine are all great examples of heroic knights. However, the lives of knights are mostly unknown to the people of today. In the following 3 paragraphs, this report uncovers the truth behind becoming a knight, as well as the complex knighting ceremony, and later the daily life of these mounted warriors.…
