Today's world has many schools of flower arranging in general can be divided into two kinds of flower arranging, one is the oriental style of flower arranging represented by China, Japan and other countries, and the other is the western style of flower arranging represented by Europe and the United States. Below I take you to understand the art style of the art of flower arranging in the East and West and the method of arranging!

There are many schools of flower arrangement in the world today, however, they can be divided into two in general, one is the oriental style flower arrangement represented by China, Japan and other countries, and the other is the western style flower arrangement represented by Europe and the United States. These two styles of flower arrangement are distinctly different.

First, the era and background

The traditional oriental people love nature, respect nature, and have a unique aesthetic interest and aesthetic point of view on the beauty of nature. It is said that "things follow the original state" and "the shape is like nature", that is, the landscape should be in line with the law of natural growth of all things. This requires the flower arranger to y understand and observe the habits of plants, think about the beauty of its beauty and its beauty of the essence, and blend people's personal feelings, in order to create a contagious work.

Western-style flower arrangement is influenced by Western philosophy, which advocates "humanism". It is believed that man and nature are the real objects of art, trying to find the most beautiful lines and the most beautiful proportion. A programmed, standardized model is used to determine the standard and scale of beauty, emphasizing neatness, balance and symmetry, and promoting geometric shapes. Reaction in the art of flower arranging more geometric modeling to the abstract art techniques to a large number of colors, rich flower materials stacked into a variety of shapes to show the artificial mathematical and physical beauty, in order to achieve a strong decorative effect.

Second, the intention and composition

The Eastern style of flower arranging advocate nature, pay attention to the mood, in the beauty of natural flowers to entertain and touch people. People according to the characteristics of the growth of flowers and trees, dissolve people's personal feelings and give flowers and trees symbolic meaning, in order to borrow flowers to say or express their feelings. Such as the lily symbolizes a hundred years of good luck, all the best; Narcissus for the water fairy, sacred and elegant; pomegranate for more children and grandchildren; plum blossom snow and frost, symbolizing fearlessness and so on. The composition is arranged with distant, medium and close views. Flowers and flowers, flowers and leaves echo each other, vivid and interesting.

Western-style flower arrangements pay attention to ` is the type and number of flowers. The flowers are plump and large, and the composition mostly adopts symmetrical, balanced or regular geometric shapes, such as triangular, circular, horizontal, S-shaped, and so on. The pursuit of block and overall effect, rich in decorative and patterned beauty, works of grace and luxury.

Three, the rules of insertion

The Eastern style of flower arranging pay attention to the combination of realistic, realistic and artistic techniques. In the arrangement, emphasis is placed on

(a) the use of lines: it is believed that linear flowers are more vibrant, more expressive of emotions.

(b) the height of the staggered, the difference: that is, the proportion of the flower arrangement and the position of the relationship. It includes between the flowers, between the flowers and containers, between the work and the environment. "Too busy" works show the top heavy light; "too thin" works appear hollow.

(c) the combination of real and imaginary, just and soft; Eastern-style flower arrangement in the virtual is loose, shallow, fuzzy. Real is thick, heavy, dense. Just is strong, hard, quite. Soft is soft, warm, soft. There is no picture without reality in flower arrangement, and there is no depth without rigidity and softness. There are levels when the real and the imaginary are well coordinated.

(d) echo relationship: echo mainly refers to the situation and color echo, focus on the directionality of the flowers, so that the flowers in the pitch between, between the interconnection between the look, all in one.

(E) contrast: Eastern style flower arrangement focuses on the contrast of the picture, through the contrast between the flowers can make each stand out, the composition is vivid and lively.

(F) focus on the relationship between the guest and the host: the establishment of the relationship between the guest and the host can make the theme focused, not diffuse.

Western-style flower arrangements generally use traditional geometric arrangements. The flowers used in the work are often all the flowers covered, the container is not exposed, only according to the location of the arrangement or the venue to determine the size of the flower type. The arrangement focuses on

(a) regular shape, clear outline: the outline is composed of the outermost flower vertex line, the shape of these vertex lines is the shape of the work of the flower arrangement, such as fan, triangle, L-shaped, etc.

(a) the shape of the work of the flower arrangement is composed of the outermost flower apex line.

(b) pay attention to the rich level, strong sense of three-dimensional: various forms of geometric flower arrangements not only from the front to see the outline of the geometric, from the side should also be a regular shape, such as: triangular flower arrangement, the essence of which should be a triangular cone. Flowers should be distributed between the different levels of the entire space.

(C) focus on the focus is prominent, the main and secondary; focus is prominent, the work is stable. The focal point of the flower can be a large flower can also be a group of shaped flowers, but not . Basic flower arrangement method

Eastern style flower arrangement flower type is generally composed of three main branches form the skeleton. The first main branch is the longest branch, determining the basic shape of the flower pattern. The second main branch is to coordinate the first main branch, its length is 1/2 or 314 of the first main branch, the third main branch is to play a stabilizing role of the branch, its length is 1/2 or 3/4 of the second main branch, the subordinate branch is to accompany and accentuate the main branch of the branch, the number of according to the needs of the branch. The three main branches of the upper and lower position changes can form different shapes. Mainly upright, tilted, sagging, spreading, straight up, symmetrical and so on.

Western-style basic flower arrangements, according to the modeling structure can be divided into symmetrical and asymmetrical composition. Symmetrical composition is the outline of the work is symmetrical, such as round, hemispherical, fan-shaped, inverted T-type. Asymmetrical composition is asymmetrical outlines, common L-type, S-type, crescent type. The basic type of insertion first determine the shape, and then insert the basic skeleton of the figure. After the skeleton is inserted, set out the focus position, insert the focal point of the flower, in the contour line of the scope of the insertion of other flowers, and with loose flowers and leaves to fill its space, cover the mud, so that the parts are coordinated and balanced, forming a complete work.
