Four elements of artistic flower arrangement modeling

Shape refers to the outline of an object, and in plastic arts, it refers to the outline of an artistic image. In the art of flower arrangement, it refers to the style of work modeling, that is, the form of composition. The shapes of objects in the objective world are colorful and ever-changing, and the artistic images created by artists, such as the artistic modeling of flower arranging works, are also complex and changeable. However, summarizing so many world object shapes or artificially created artistic images, we can know that they all have the essential law of * * * and the characteristics of * *, that is, these shapes are all composed of points, lines, surfaces and bodies, so points, lines, surfaces and bodies are usually called the four elements of shapes, that is, modeling. The following are the four elements that I brought to you to form an artistic flower arrangement. Welcome to reading.

Four elements of artistic flower arrangement modeling In flower arrangement composition, we can abstract different flower materials into four elements: point, line, surface and body, and understand their respective positions and functions. Blocky and grotesque flowers, such as roses, carnations, chrysanthemums and herons, can be regarded as point elements; Linear flowers such as verbena, gladiolus and many woody flowers can be regarded as elements of line; Some large flat leaves or bracts, such as bamboo, green radish, flamingo taro, etc., are regarded as surface elements, while voxel can be understood as the space occupied by flowers is real, and the gap between flowers is virtual. They not only have their own positions and functions in composition, but also have their own characteristics and laws. Familiarity with these characteristics and laws is the basic knowledge to create artistic images.

main points

It is the smallest and simplest element in plastic arts. A point has an independent position in space, a certain volume and shape, and a certain distance from its surroundings, which can fully show its personality but has no directionality. Its expressive force often forms a variety of visual perception because of its quantity, position and arrangement. The point in the center of the composition can produce cohesion and a sense of concentration and stability, while the point away from the center is easy to rise, sag and flow away from the center. Points show different expressive force because of their different positions.

line

It is the trajectory of a point from rest to movement. It has a certain position and length in space, and it also has directionality. Points form various lines due to different moving directions. These different lines have different expressive force and can produce different visual feelings.

Straight line: a line formed by moving a point in a fixed direction. There are thick and thin lines. Generally, thick lines have a tough, clear and powerful feeling, and can show a serious, dignified and enterprising modality.

Curve: a line formed by the movement of a point in a changing direction. It has the characteristics of liveliness and fluency, bright and elastic feeling, and should show a soft and beautiful modality.

Broken line: a line that keeps a short distance when a point moves in a changing direction, that is, a line composed of short straight lines, full of sense of change and strength.

Zigzag line: also known as serpentine line. A line consisting of wavy curves of opposite lengths. Full of sense of movement and rhythm, suitable for expressing lively modality.

In artistic modeling, especially in China traditional art, lines have become an important component and are widely used. For example, China's paintings, calligraphy and China's traditional flower arrangement all show various rich forms such as softness, beauty, elegance, free and easy, and gorgeous. Through various linear shapes and postures of lines (straight, vertical, thick, parallel, crossing, etc. ). Lines can not only show the texture and texture of modeling, but also show the truth, density and richness of lines. Through the interpenetration, overlapping and hiding of lines, the layering of modeling is displayed; Through its length change and turning point to express the sense of rhythm and rhythm of modeling, so it is impossible to model without lines. In the traditional flower arrangement in China, linear flowers such as gladiolus, red rosewood and verbena can be regarded as the representatives of lines. They can not only form the skeleton (outline) of modeling, but also often express temperament and convey feelings through aesthetic expressions such as the strength, connotation and rhythm of various lines.

face

It is the trajectory of line movement, and it is also formed by the extension and expansion of points or lines. Face shapes have certain shapes and rich changes, and different faces will have different psychological effects on people:

Linear geometry: It consists of regular straight lines and broken lines. They have a certain direction, simple and clear shape and orderly mechanical rational form. Such as triangle, square, diamond, etc. They can convey calm, rational and serious emotions.

Curve geometry: basically composed of regular curves, arcs and wavy lines, such as S-shaped, crescent-shaped, spiral, vortex, etc. They are simple and complex, free and regular, and belong to irregular and changeable perceptual forms.

body

There is a turning point or transition. It can be divided into three-dimensional geometric modeling composed of straight geometric surfaces, such as triangle, square, cylinder, cone, diamond and so on. And three-dimensional free bodies composed of curved geometric surfaces, such as S-shaped and crescent-shaped. They are widely used in various artistic modeling and become the objective basis of formal beauty of plastic arts. Many frame designs in modern floral art often use these three-dimensional modeling bodies.
