Week #5 Quiz

Is the Function of art determined by its form?

Definitely not. Function can be expressed through any art form. If its meant to convey strong emotion, we can see this in music, dance, literature, music, poetry, photography. . . the list goes on and on. The art form is what at the artist's discretion. Whatever art form they believe will express what they're trying to, they will use. Any message can be delivered in any form, as long as the mind is open.


"The Jaberwocky" by Lewis Carrol

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Exposition
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: Exposition
All mimsy were the borogoves, Exposition
And the mome raths outgrabe. Exposition

"Beware the Jabberwock, (Antagonist) my son! Allegory/Exposition
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! ImageryAllegory/Exposition
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun Imagery/Allegory/Exposition
The frumious Bandersnatch!" Allegory/Exposition

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood, Allegory
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Allegory
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, Allegory
And burbled as it came! Allegory

One, two!
One, two!
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! Conflict
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back. Imagery

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day!
Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy. Denouement

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
