ProjectTWO - Ornaments

Ornament

What is an ornament? Is it basically patterns? Well from Wikipedia, a ornament is as followed:

"Ornaments are decorations added to a building or structure, made of plaster, wood, metal and stone"

Well, now that we are in the 21st century, ornament in contemporary art has taken a whole new turn. However, I believe that the basic principles or purpose of ornaments are still the same. I think of ornaments as patterns or any other decorated objects or items placed upon another object to appease the looks. Of course, also now that we are in the 21st century, I believe ornament pieces could evoke a physiological meaning as well. That's what I think Ornament is... what about you guys?
