Inspiration

What Is An Ornament

Ornament is an accessory, article or detail used to beautify the appearence of something. Some ornaments are merely for decorative purpose while others serve a functional purpose as well. The type of ornaments used will differ with the place it is kept In this assignment the ornament we were asked to design should be able to be kept on a desk, table or shelf

3d Ornament Development

Paperweights were the source of my inspiration There are different types of paperweights A paperweight should be in a size that is easy to handle. Paperweights are of various shapes. Ex:-Pyramids, Cube, Cuboid, Spherical, Cylindrical, Some are based on different historical monuments or legendary figures Some just serve an Ornamental purpose The paperweight I chose to make is a "Cube" shaped paperweight.

How And Why Inspiration Was Achieved

Andare was the court jester to the King His job was to keep the king and the Royal family cheerful for a wholesome rule in the country He kept the king grounded just like a paperweight that keeps paper stable. A cube is a very stable geometric form. It is to symbolize his stable mentality
