Art of flower arranging leaf material processing and modeling methods

Circle leaf modeling method

In many modern flower arranging and decorative art creation, especially some free-form flower arranging and decorative art, often many leaves are pruned into a variety of shapes to match the composition needs. shape, in order to match the composition needs. Sometimes the choice of leaves is too large or dull shape, also often need to be trimmed and processed modeling.

Plant branches and leaves can be achieved through the method of ring leaves to change the purpose of modeling. There are generally three ways to deal with.

① Perforation ring leaf modeling. When making, the front end of the leaf is punched a small hole, and then the leaf is bent and the petiole is allowed to penetrate into the hole. Determination of the hole at the tip of the leaf, should be positioned according to the size of the circle shape, such as Ruo leaf.

③ winding circle leaf modeling. Take advantage of the softness of certain leaves by bending them in a circle and letting the tip portion of the leaf wrap around the original stalk to create a circle pattern, as in the case of Hairy Mountain Grass.

Leaf modification and leaf drawing method

Leaf modification and deformation method: Leafy plants are beautiful to reflect the ornamental requirements of its leaf shape, leaf color. In the process of flower arrangement decorative art creation, sometimes in order to achieve a certain aesthetic effect, the leaves change the original shape, so that it meets the requirements of ornamental. The leaves of these plants require a wide spread, hard texture and easy pruning. Such as palms, cattails, octagonal gold plate, iron tree, Ruo leaf, fengyou orchids and anemones, umbrella grass.

Leaf drawing method: With parallel veins of plant leaves, such as Ruo leaves, etc., for its longitudinal tearing, will produce longitudinal cracks. If not completely torn through, according to the leaf vein pattern pull a few more filaments, can produce spindle-shaped arc leaf. The effect of flower arrangement is shown in the picture.

Leaf warping method and branch knot method

Leaf warping method: long sword-shaped leaves for warping treatment, the first in the middle of the leaf longitudinal cut out of the openings, and then the front of the leaf bending, from the rift through, when the leaf is pulled out, warping modeling is completed. Commonly used in this method of plants are Ruo leaves, calamus leaves, fengyou orchids, books with grass and so on.

Knotting method: the knotting of plant branches can change the shape of the flower arrangement, but not any flower branch can be knotted, to choose the soft branches of the flowers, such as incense, willow, spring, yellow Xin and other flower branches.

Slender plant leaves, such as ribbon grass, silk orchid, iris and other leaves, can also be knotted. The tightness of the knot is determined by the needs of the flower arrangement.

Curled leaf modeling

Curled leaf modeling is relatively simple, you can use your hands to directly curl into a variety of shapes, and then in the curled interface with a big pin, paper clip or wire to be fixed.

Curled leaf modeling is the use of physical or mechanical means to transform the leaf shape of a method. The curled leaves are more varied and new. There are two methods.

① Rub modeling. Is the leaf from the tip of the leaf rolled up, and put in the palm of the hand rubbing. When rubbing the hands of pressure, repeated rubbing, until the release of the hand, the leaf still has a certain degree of curling until. If you need to show the spiral shape, you can make the leaves for oblique curls, after the shape is spiral.

② nail modeling. Operation according to the size of the flower arrangement to be curled position to locate, and with a big pin or wire inserted firmly, can also be fixed with a stapler. Ikebana fixed, should be inserted from the circle of the curled leaves, to minimize artificial traces.

Plants that are suitable for rolled leaf modeling include Ruo leaves, book band grass, octagonal gold plate, plantain, dragon's blood tree and the leaves of the wannabe.

Support modeling method

Support modeling is a mechanical method to support leaf modeling using external forces. To make it, you need to prepare some lead wire, transparent tape, and then put the leaf flat, leaf side down, find the central leaf vein, attach the lead wire to the side of the central leaf vein, and paste it on the leaf with transparent tape. After treatment, the need to let the flowering branches have how much bending angle, can be adjusted, but need to pay attention to the decorative position, to prevent the main ornamental position exposed artificial traces. Applicable to this method of plants such as Ruo leaves, iris and ginger flowers.

Mo leaf bending method

Plants in some of the long and wide leaves, the required degree of curvature is not too large in the case, you can use the Mo leaf bending method to solve. Processing, line pick up the blade, determine the angle and position of the blade to be bent, one hand to hold the petiole, the other hand, four fingers together, and the thumb flat clip the blade. Allow the thumb to gently rub the leaf with a slight force, causing the plant cells at the point where the thumb is rubbing to lose water, and the leaf will bend to that side. The degree of bending can be determined as needed. If the leaf is slender, you should use your index finger and thumb to moisten the leaf.

Plants that are good candidates for the leaf-moiling and bending method are the leaves of plants such as iris, calamus, iris, bookbinders, maitake, daffodils, manzanita, silk orchids, and corduroy.

Green Art Flower Arrangement

The positive significance of this future modern Chinese flower arrangement art, with organic harmony of nature, society and self as its inherent meaning, is conceivable. For the sake of convenience, let's call this harmonious art of flower arrangement "Green Art Ikebana" for the time being.

The term "green art flower arrangement" does not refer to the color, but to the spiritual connotation of the work of art and the accumulation of social history and culture.

So what are the characteristics of green art flower arrangement?

The charm of the exchange of things. Although the East and the West have already integrated and exchanged cultures, the cultural essence of the Chinese nation should not be forgotten or lost. The art of flower arranging should especially reflect the rich connotation and rhythm of the exchange of things.

Three, advocating the creation

In order to achieve the strong vitality of the national art, I think there are still a few auxiliary conditions that must be met:

(a) Only a prosperous era will have a prosperous art.

(ii) respect for the author's creative personality and creative freedom.

(3) The author's clear sense of his noble social mission. The authors' creativity is an important aspect of promoting the improvement of social culture and art, and creativity requires courage, but also reason. Reason refers to the first to inherit the essence of traditional culture and art, to maintain the self-esteem and virtues of Chinese culture, courage refers to some of the old things to boldly abandon.

Painter Wu Foulu and friends said: "small skills picker is easy, the creator is difficult, want to stand on their own into a home, at least half a lifetime of hard work, pick up up up to more than half a year, feasible fur." Therefore, if you want to create a unique style in flower arrangement, can not rely only on chance to pick up and get.
