Basic principles of flower arrangement modeling

Flower arrangement is a plastic art, which needs to master certain basic theoretical knowledge and composition principles.

Point, line and surface are the basic elements of modeling, and point is the simplest and smallest element; Line is an important means of modeling; Face is the extension and expansion of points or lines, while flower arrangement works are the synthesis of points, lines and faces.

A beautiful sculpture should meet five requirements, that is, the top is heavy and the bottom is scattered, the top is gathered and the bottom is scattered, the patchwork is well-organized, the density is well-organized, and the back echoes, so that the work can be balanced, stable, vivid and beautiful. The law of plastic beauty of flower arrangement art is to master five standards: proportion and scale, diversity and unity, coordination and contrast, momentum and balance, rhythm and rhythm.

(1) scale and scale

First, the overall scale of the work should be determined according to the space size and requirements of the environment in which the work is located. The second is to determine the ratio of main flower branches to containers. Oriental flower arrangement, the length of the first main branch is 1.5-2 times the diameter of the container mouth plus the height of the container; The length of the second main branch is 2/3 to 3/4 of the length of the first main branch; The length of the third main branch is 2/3-3/4 of the length of the second main branch; The length of each main branch generally does not exceed the length of its main branch.

(2) Diversity and unity

When using a single flower composition, you should choose flowers with different sizes, different degrees of openness and different postures. When choosing a variety and a large number of flowers for composition, we should distinguish between primary and secondary, and we should not divide the flowers equally. At the same time, we should consider the consistency of various flower materials in texture and flower shape, and use the artistic technique of seeking unity in diverse changes.

(3) Coordination and comparison

This refers to the organic and complete connection and echo between the various parts of flower arrangement, and the close and harmonious cooperation. For example, flowers and containers, flowers and flowers, flowers and lining leaves are in harmony and contrast in shape, texture, color, quantity and style.

(4) Dynamic situation and balance

In flower arrangement, balance refers to the balance between the various parts of modeling and the stability of the image of the whole work. Equilibrium includes symmetric equilibrium and asymmetric equilibrium. In flower arrangement, methods such as color level, distance, density, reality and depth are often used to achieve asymmetric and balanced artistic effects.

Dynamic potential is the opposite of balance, and the two are unity of opposites and complement each other. All kinds of symmetrical and balanced shapes, although dignified and steady, often appear stiff and rigid because of the lack of momentum. The asymmetrical and balanced shapes have various flexible combinations, and the various postures of flowers have rich and colorful dynamics, which are very vivid, so dynamics is one of the main sources of vivid images of works.

(5) Rhythm and prosody

Every beautiful melody in music is the result of the regular repetition, organization and change of seven notes L, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. The same is true of flower arrangement. The combination changes of various flower materials in composition, such as flower materials strewn at random, interspersed back and forth, echoing left and right, density changes, color block division, etc., should also be carried out regularly and methodically like notes, otherwise it will be chaotic.
