CAM Raleigh: Ornament and Pattern -- Reading

      This article shows the importance of pattern, design, and ornament, how they are essential to our lives. The author talks about how Ornament and pattern are  like form-based languages — the visual articulation of ideas. I agree with this  when we see patterns and designs we make up our own meanings, they show us something new. The Latin root of the ornament- orno - means to equip, to adorn, and by extension, to honor.
      Back in the day ornaments had great sentimental meanings or would be used in culture or religion. The article talks about the different types of ornament there are and how they change over time. But they never disappear, ornament and pattern is everywhere we look, its what we are accustomed to. This article also gives a better understanding about what we have been learning in class. After reading this you really realize how important pattern and ornament are important to us.
