Several basic skills of flower arrangement

Several basic skills of flower arrangement

Flower arrangement is an art, and family flower arrangement is really particular. In the Ming Dynasty's floral monograph "History of Bottles", it was mentioned: "Flower arrangement should not be too complicated, nor should it be too fine. It should be more than two or three kinds, and the height and density should be picturesque." Let's take a look!

Main insertion method

Choose the strongest and most beautiful flower branch as the main branch, highlight the center (pay attention to highlight the main flower), and insert a different flower on each side as a foil to avoid the neat arrangement of flower branches, the three branches do not cross, and all the flower branches should not be tied together and inserted at one time. For example, chrysanthemum with gladiolus will appear ups and downs, dense, harmonious and complement each other. Even if it is the same flower, it is best to have buds, half-blooming flowers and blooming flowers at the same time to show the change of flower openness. Therefore, before you buy flowers, you should think well and choose them purposefully. When cutting flower branches, leave some leaves on the branches and clean up the dirt on the leaves. The length of the branches should be determined according to the height of the vase, generally following the golden ratio law.

Circular interpolation method

Arrange flowers according to three branches with different lengths and directions. Generally, the convex interpolation method of circular arc is adopted, and there are also interpolation methods of opening circular arc into concave.

Triangular interpolation

Taking the main flower branch as the central axis, it is symmetrical left and right, and the angle is balanced, which looks solemn and tidy. This flower arrangement is full of manners.

Bonsai flower arrangement-according to the changes of flower branches, flowers and colors, the arrangement is made on the basis of the conceptual map. Different flower branches should also be taught in accordance with their aptitude. For example, if plum blossoms are inserted in a single branch, there should not be too many branches, and the branches should be staggered horizontally to avoid straight branches. Red and green are more interesting if pine branches are used. No matter which method is adopted, flower arrangement works should be harmonious, balanced and rhythmic.

Commonly used containers for flower arrangement generally include vases, pots and so on. Among them, ceramic and glass vases are elegant in color and novel in style, and are not easy to rot after being filled with water for a long time; Although the plastic vase is light and durable, it lacks natural beauty and the bottle water is perishable. It is best to set a tic-tac-toe frame at the mouth of the vase to facilitate the fixation of the flower branches. Use a basin for short flowers and prepare a flower arranging mat. As for bowls, dishes, bottles, cans and other household utensils, if you carefully select and use flowers, it will also add interest.

In addition, the color of the vase should be elegant. If there are only dark vases at home, light or tiny flowers should be inserted.

How to Construct the Artistic Modeling of Flower Arrangement

Type 1: light on the top and heavy on the bottom: the bud is on the top and the flower is on the bottom; Light on the top and dark on the bottom, orderly and natural.

Type 2: upper dispersion and lower gathering: flowers have branches and leaves, and the lower roots are flourishing; Upper level evacuation, in various ways.

Type III. Staggered height: flowers should be staggered back and forth, and it is forbidden to insert them in the same horizontal line or straight line.

Type 4, density: flowers and leaves are arranged at equal distances, but they should be dense and rhythmic.

Fifth, pitch echo: establish the center, and the surrounding flowers and branches echo each other around the center, which not only highlights the theme but also has a sense of balance.

Type 6: the combination of reality and reality: flowers are real, leaves are virtual, there are flowers without leaves, and there are leaves without flowers without entities. The so-called "red flowers need green leaves to help."

7. Static and dynamic combination: there must be both static symmetry and dynamic strewn at random.

Eight, Zhuang Yi is also harmonious: it is necessary to have classical dignity and balance, but also to create a unique artistic conception through changes in material selection and composition.

Basic skills of flower arrangement

① Pruning method

When using scissors, put your hands up and the scissors down, so you can easily cut off the branches.

② branch bending method

Scissors cut the branches into small mouths, then hold them by hand and bend them slowly to the other side of the cut, so that the straight branches can be turned into curved shapes.

③ Leaf curling method and sliding method.

Roll the leaves aside, put your thumb against the back of the plant and pull them down to bend them.

④ flower head fixing and modeling.

Plants can be bent or straightened by wires running through the heart.

⑤ branch selection method

Remove dry, diseased and dead branches, one of two parallel branches, one of two symmetrical branches and one of two cross branches to form an equilateral triangle and complete the natural shape.

⑥ High bottle support fixing method

Cross fixation

Folding fixation method: bend the flower stem to the container wall and add bamboo sticks to the stem for fixation; Vertical fixation; Lateral branch fixation; Use the force between the branch and the bottle mouth to fix the branch.

Flower arrangement has a long history in China, and its development has become an indispensable part of people's daily life. This paper specially collects and sorts out the basic shapes of flower arrangement for everyone, I hope you like it!

1, horizontal

The design center of gravity emphasizes the lateral modeling of lateral extension. The center is slightly convex, and the left and right ends are elegantly curved. The biggest feature of its shape is that it can be appreciated from any angle. Mostly used for the decoration of dining tables, coffee tables and conference tables.

Step 2: Triangle

Flowers can be inserted into a regular triangle, isosceles triangle or equilateral triangle, and the appearance is simple and steady, giving people a sense of balance, stability, simplicity and solemnity.

Big flowers and big fruits are used in corners, and small flowers stretch forward by themselves, giving people an open and upward feeling.

4. Fan-shaped

According to the basic triangular flower arrangement pattern, the center is radial and forms a fan shape. Suitable for large space display.

5. inverted t-shape.

The whole design is dominated by inverted T-shaped structure. The ratio of vertical lines to left and right horizontal lines is 2: 1, which gives people a modern feeling. Suitable for decoration in environments with small left and right spaces.

6. Vertical

The overall shape is vertical and upward, giving people the feeling of extending upward. Suitable for displaying in high and narrow space.

7. Ellipse

Elegant and luxurious modeling. A large number of flowers are used, and the group insertion method does not require high structure and contrast, showing a natural sense of roundness. Classical vases, as containers, should be placed in places with large space such as churches or ceremonies.

8. Inclined type

The shape is an equilateral triangle. The length of the main branch depends on the situation, and the whole composition has the characteristics of left and right imbalance. It is mostly used for linear flowers, which can effectively express the beauty of stretching and nature.

There are crescent shape, S shape, spherical shape, crown shape and free opening shape.
