PROJECT SUMMARY

The project is about analyzing and understanding the character Andare , the court jester of medieval Sri lanka, arriving at the concept and represent it through the 2D design.

Andare

In the days of the Sinhala kings having a royal jester at the court was a tradition. The job of this royal jester was to keep everyone in the court including king, queen, members of the royal family, courtiers and others entertained and make them laughed. As history says Andare was a clever court jester who lived during the 18th century during the reigns of King Keerthi Sri Rajasigha and Rajadhi Rajasigha.

Concept

Intellectual character - he used fascinating, creative , dramatic, logical entertaining methods while balancing the both sides , royals and others without giving king a chance to punished him through his jokes.

Living character- he is a dynamic, stable, shining character as a diamond in Sri Lankan history, who is a living legend among Sri Lankans even today.
