PROJECT SUMMARY

The design project is about analyzing and understanding a character, arriving at a concept, and representing it through design. The assigned character is Andare, a court jester of medieval Sri Lanka. As history suggests, Andare was a clever court jester who lived during the 18th century during the reigns of Kings Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe and Rajadhi Rajasignhe of the Kandyan kingdom. He is believed to have been born in Udamala, in southern Sri Lanka. It is said that Andare’s humorous acts and sarcastic comments entertained both royals and commoners alike. Despite being a mere comedian, the tales of Andare suggest the superior intellect he had which aided in him turning situations to his favor. He was also a skilled archer, a prolific poet and a cunning character who adapted to situations accordingly. The design for this project is centered around the story of how Andare shot the frog, in which Andare highlights many of his skills and characteristics. The design is made as a collage in the shape of a large leaf to allude to the complexity of the character and that he is a combination of multiple characteristics. The notable characters seen in the story, namely the frog, Andare himself and the King are seen hidden amongst the leaf to imply that even though at face value he is a court jester, he has many hidden abilities and that he is a far more mysterious character.
