Project Summary

In the days of the Sinhala kings having a royal jester at the Court was a tradition. The job of this royal jester entertained and make them laugh. Among the royal jesters Sri Lankan kings had, the most famous and wellknown jester was Andare, who is a living legend among Sri Lankans even today, And some suggests that Andare was an imaginary character created by intellects who geared at pointing out the lack of intelligence and vanity of society through the stories.

In this project we were given the task to research into the background and history relevant to Andare. Then interpreting information and facts gathered through analysis to derive a concept to represent the interpretation of the character in 2D and 3D. We were expected to use color, texture, and material effectively to communicate observable qualities.

This Project allowed us to analyze and understand a character, to arrive at a concept and represent it through design.
