Reading - CAM Raleigh:
Ornament and Pattern
This article starts off by stating that we as humans thrive off of
patterns, its essential to our life and they just make sense to us. The author
also goes as far as to say that we have patterns imbedded in our brains. I
really enjoyed the way Yelavich talked about how we perceive patterns and how
we interpret them; she also says that ornament just becomes a part of our
words. Pattern and ornament are basically just another form of language.
I
also liked how this article included plenty of pictures and examples so that I
could visually see what she was talking about. Yelavich also talked about how
certain symbols can be seen in all different cultures and have many different
meanings. She also talks about how even
though times are changing we still see the importance of pattern and ornament
in the modern day. I see pattern and ornament as being something that humans
will always have and use and appreciate because it is something that we just
find so visually appealing.
