Thirteen keys to the art of flower arrangement

Whether inserting a pot or a bottle, the posture of flowers and leaves should always be inclined, not upright. Let me show you thirteen tips for arranging flowers!

The art of flower arrangement should pay attention to the following thirteen tips:

(1) The ratio of flower branches to flower organs should be appropriate.

① Measure the scale of flower organ: the scale of flower organ = height and ten diameters.

② Determine the height of the first main branch: the standard scale is l.5 times of the height of flower organs; If the environment requires, expand the composition of flower arrangement, which can be as high as 2 times the size of flower arrangement device; If the environment is small, just for personal appreciation, there is no need to reduce it to 1 times.

③ Determine the height of the second and third main branches: the height of the second main branch should be 3/4 of the length of the first main branch; The height of the third main branch should be 3/4 of the height of the second main branch.

The flower branches supplemented by these three main branches are called "subordinate branches", which, as the name implies, are foil. Subordinate branches are used in the work to enrich the whole composition, so the number of subordinate branches is unlimited and should be freely increased or decreased according to the needs of the work. But there is a principle that the height of each subordinate branch cannot exceed the height of its subordinate main branch. The success or failure of flower arrangement depends on the treatment of three main branches, which are like "skeleton" and "blood and flesh". The length of the main branch is limited, and the subordinate branches can only be arranged according to everyone's aesthetics and their own artistic accomplishment. Dealing with subordinate branches is often more difficult than the main branch. This is enough to show the important position of clumps in flower arrangement works.

(2) large flowers should be matched with small flowers.

If the main flower is a rose, the guest flower should be matched with gladiolus; The main flower is Dali flower, and the guest flower should be matched with Gerbera jamesonii; The main flower is lily, and the guest flower should be accompanied by Hosta. Never use different kinds of flowers with similar shapes, otherwise the host and guests will be separated.

(3) Dark colors should be matched with light colors.

If the color of the main flower is deep red, that is, the guest flower should be matched with light red, if it is the same deep red, or the guest flower is darker than the main color, it will easily lead to the effect of usurping the role of the host.

(4) Only one leaf can be used.

If the main flower has leaves and the guest flower also has leaves, only one of them can be chosen at the expense of the other; Or neither, with the grass. If you use two leaves at the same time, or use several kinds of mountain grass, it will be too messy.

(5) The flowers and leaves should be inclined but not straight.

Whether inserting a pot or a bottle, the posture of flowers and leaves should always be inclined, not upright. As for how the slope is ideal, it depends on the size and shape of the specific flowers.

(6) the composition should be sparse but not dense

Flower arrangement should be somewhat picturesque, and the composition must not be too dense. Secret has the feeling of suffocation and ventilation, which makes people uncomfortable; It is easy to show beauty by thinning flowers and leaves.

(7) Mosaic should not be as high as usual.

You must have a draft before trimming. The main flower is slightly higher and the guest flower is slightly lower; Matching leaves must not be as high as flowers. If the flower organ is a disk or a round bottle, the leaves should be scattered around the flower organ.

(8) Flower organs are different from flowers in color.

The color of flowers must not be the same as that of flowerpots and vases; For example, if the flowers are red and purple, or rhubarb and dark yellow, the flower devices should all be white or light blue. In this way, the shades can set off bright flowers. If the flowers and flowerpots are all dark, the look and feel will be greatly reduced.

(9) Flowers must be clearly understood.

When choosing flowers, we should know the durability of main flowers and guest flowers. Preferably, the durability of the main flower and the guest flower is the same; Otherwise, although the main flower is still glowing, the guest flower has withered, or the guest flower is still fresh, but the main flower has withered, which is disappointing.

(10) Put it away.

The height of flower arrangement also determines the overall pattern of flower arrangement. So after the flower arrangement is completed, the position of the flower arrangement depends on the height of the flower arranging device. For example, short and round ones should be placed on the dining table or wine cabinet; Tall and square ones should be placed in front of the window or on the desk. If placed improperly, viewing will also reduce the interest.

(1 1) The priority of flowering branches should be clear.

When cutting flowers, you should choose the most beautiful branch as the main branch, and the rest as auxiliary branches and foil branches to supplement the deficiency of the main branch, make it more substantial and achieve a balanced effect in the whole composition.

(12) Flowers should be evenly distributed.

Whether it is the main flower or the guest flower, we should consider echoing each other and the flowers are evenly distributed. The main branch, auxiliary branch and foil branch should be properly matched to form a whole.

(13) The water quality should be kept clean.

Whether it is a bottle or a basin, the water for planting flowers must always be kept clean.

Natural flower arrangement (extension);

Natural composition technique is a common form of artistic flower arrangement and oriental flower arrangement, which is suitable for placing in living room, study or bedroom. Natural flower arrangement is a flower pattern that mainly shows the natural growth form of plants. In order to achieve better results, we should pay attention to the following points.

1, the handle should be tight, like a pile of anger.

The growth of plants starts from one point. Therefore, when arranging flowers, we should regard the floral organ as the earth, and all the floral arrangements should start from one place, which makes people feel that they grow from a special place, so that the flower arrangement will appear vitality, otherwise the branches will be loose and cross, just like weeds, and there will be no aesthetic feeling. So the branches should be as close as possible and as concentrated as possible.

2, the light source is consistent, and the situation is coordinated.

The growth of plants is characterized by the pursuit of light sources. Flowers are open to the sun, and branches and leaves are also extended to the sun. Branches bend for light, which is also the beauty of branches' posture. Therefore, when arranging flowers, we should imagine where the light source is, and the inserted flowers should be inclined to the direction of the light source and echo each other.

3. The number of flowers should be single, not double.

Even flowers are easy to be symmetrical and dull when inserted, while odd ones have unfinished meaning and can induce reverie, so try to turn even numbers into odd numbers. For example, four flowers can be inserted into 3+ 1, that is, three flowers are inserted together, and 1 flower is inserted in a far position, so that both groups are singular. Similarly, when there are six flowers, they can be inserted into three groups: 3+2+ 1, so it looks different. Common sense daquan

4, the shape can not be single, the bottle mouth can not be completely exposed.

If the lines are single or the colors are monotonous, it will make people feel boring. In the traditional art of flower arrangement, the technique of "breaking" is often used to make it fluctuate. If you insert one or two lines in the opposite direction into a group of lines representing the wind, you will find raiders of the lost ark outstanding. A group of round lines (such as round flowers and leaves) can add interest if they are interrupted by one or two lines of other shapes. Usually straight lines are broken by curves, horizontal lines by vertical lines and round lines by long lines. Similarly, when arranging flowers, the line of the bottle mouth should not be completely exposed, and it can be broken by covering a part with flowers or branches and leaves. The so-called "breaking the truth and seeking novelty" is one of the traditional flower arranging techniques in China.

5. Leave blank.

Blanking is an important part of China's aesthetic thought. When arranging flowers, flowers are often arranged on one side of the flower device, leaving a blank water surface on one side to provide a place for the extension of flowers. In addition, the blank water surface can also play a balance role. The blank of space is formed by the extension of branches, and the space outlined by branches is the scope of perspective, leaving a large blank in this country.
