Six basic principles of artistic flower arrangement modeling

If you want to constantly improve your artistic level of flower arrangement, you can't simply imitate the basic patterns, but you should master some basic theories of modeling. Let me show you the six basic principles of artistic flower arrangement modeling!

I. Proportion

Refers to the size, length, the proportion between parts and the proportion between parts and the whole. Appropriate proportion can be symmetrical. When arranging flowers, the flower shape should be determined according to the size of the environment in which the work is located. The so-called "big hall, small bedroom, because it depends on the ground." Secondly, the size of the pattern should be in direct proportion to the size of the flowers used. There is an old saying: "large flower arrangements need to be weighed in bottles so that the flowers are slightly higher than the bottles." The bottle is one foot high, spend one foot three or four inches, the bottle is six or seven inches high, and it is better to spend eight or nine inches on the bottle. Avoid too high, too high, the bottle is easy to serve, too low, too low is not elegant. "

(A) the proportion of flower shape and flower organs

Flower unit: the sum of the height of the flower and the maximum diameter (or width) of the flower is a flower unit.

The maximum length of the flower shape is 1.5-2 flower units.

When the flowers are few and the color is dark, the proportion can be large, and the S-shaped equal proportion can be large.

(2) Environmental factors

When the environmental space is large, the work can be large, and when the environmental space is small, the work can be small.

(C) About the golden section

The basic formula of golden ratio is: a line is divided into two sections, and the length ratio of small section A to large section B is exactly equal to the length ratio of large section B to the whole line, that is, A: B = B: (A+B), and its ratio is about 0.68 1: 1, which is recognized as the most beautiful ratio. It is easy to unify and change in visual modeling, and has been widely used in architecture at all times and in all countries. In addition, according to the proportional sequence, the branch length is intercepted, such as 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. , will gradually open the distance between branches, but also produce a strong rhythm and gradual effect.

The maximum length of the flower shape is 1.5-2 flower units, which embodies the golden section principle. The application of the golden section principle in flower arrangement is also reflected in: in the composition of three main branches, the ratio between the three main branches is usually 8∶5∶3 or 7∶5∶3.

Second, balance.

Balance is balance and stability, which is the first condition of flower arrangement modeling.

1. Equilibrium can be divided into symmetric static equilibrium and asymmetric dynamic equilibrium.

Symmetrical and balanced vision is simple and clear, giving people a solemn and noble feeling, but it is a bit serious and dull. The traditional insertion method is that the types and colors of flowers are evenly distributed on both sides of the central axis, which is completely symmetrical. Modern flower arrangement mostly adopts group insertion method, that is, the outline is symmetrical, but the shape and color of flowers are asymmetrical. Flowers of the same species or the same color are put together to produce lively visual effects, which is not completely symmetrical, or free symmetry.

Asymmetric balance is flexible, elegant and mysterious. Like acrobatic performances, it gives people a thrilling and smooth aesthetic feeling. Asymmetry has no central axis, and the left and right are not equal, but through the number of flowers. The length, size, weight, texture and color depth of the characters make the work achieve a balanced effect. Just like China's "weighing bar" principle, no matter what the weight is, you can use the same weighing bar to achieve balance by adjusting the position of the weight. This is the beauty of asymmetric balance.

2. Stability is also an important factor of balance. When the modeling is unstable, it is impossible to talk about balance, which is related to the synthesis of all modeling elements. As mentioned above, shape, color, texture, quantity and even movement and space all affect stability. Although the principle of balance focuses on form, psychological feelings are also an influencing factor. If a work is top-heavy, shaky and about to collapse, it will be psychologically tense. Therefore, stability is also one of the important measures of formal beauty. Generally, the lower the center of gravity, the easier it is to have a sense of stability. Therefore, there are so-called requirements, which are light on the top and heavy on the bottom, scattered on the top and deep on the bottom, small on the top and big on the bottom, and the color has a strong sense of weight. Therefore, when using different shades of flowers in the works, it is advisable to put the dark flowers below or cut them short and insert them in the inner layer, and try to insert the large flowers near the focus below, otherwise the focus of the works will often be placed on the focus of the works.

In addition, the insertion method is "tight and clear", that is, the sockets are concentrated and compact, which also plays a stable role, like a vibrant plant. Another example is a big tree across the lake. Although it is inclined, its trunk grows firmly on the earth, and it is vigorous and stable, which can still cause psychological balance. Therefore, when inserting bottles, the sockets of each branch should be concentrated as much as possible, which is like a pole. Don't be messy and full of bottles.
