(Floral Design) Slide 2 Shape color light texture Slide 3 Shape: inflorescence shapes Slide 4 Shape: line Arrangements Few flowers are used presence of many voids Flowers are presented in a line The lines may be: Vertical L-shaped Crescent Diagonal S-shaped Slide 5 Shape: Mass Arrangements Use many flowers few voids or spaces shapes include: Circle Mound or oval Triangles Diamond Slide 6 Shape: Line-Mass Arrangements A combination of line and mass Represents a thickened line Slide 7 Specialty Shapes Heart for Valentines day Egg for Easter Slide 8 Element: Color The most important element colors are associated with objects and events Color terminology: hue, tint, shade, tone The color wheel and color schemes Slide 9 Color Scheme: Monochromatic Only one hue is featured but the arrangement may include variations of the hue Slide 10 Analogous colors lie next to each other on the color wheel Slide 11 Slide 12 Direct Complementary Colors that lie directly across from each other on the color wheel Slide 13 Slide 14 Split Complementary: one hue with two that lie on each side of its complement Slide 15 Triadic : three colors equidistant on the color wheel PrimariesSecondaries Slide 16 7 Color Guidelines Repeat colors in a design. Dont use too many different colors. Let one color dominate. Use darker colored flowers deeper and lower in the arrangement. Use colors with high eye appeal sparingly. Use larger flowers of a certain color to emphasize that color. Select either bold color contrasts or soft subtle contrasts to suit the situation. Slide 17 Element: Light You may need to consider in what sort of lighting your arrangement will be viewed Lighting effects color Light Quality Light intensity Slide 18 Element: Texture Refers to the surface quality of an object Provide interesting contrasts or subtle compatibility between materials examples: Fine or coarse shiny or dull downy or prickly Textures may suggest formality Slide 19 Briar patch effect Soft Slide 20 The Principles Balance Scale Rhythm Harmony Emphasis Slide 21 Principle: Balance Comfortable to look at The materials selected, amount used and placement affect balance Visual weight and not real weight matters Symmetrical and asymmetrical balance Slide 22 Symmetrical Balance Components correspond to each other on each side of an axis. Bilateral and radial symmetry Slide 23 Balance: Asymmetrical Not the same on each side created by using placements of unequal visual weight at varying distances from the central axis Slide 24 Principal: Scale Concerns the size relationship of an arrangement to its setting. Size relations between different components with in an arrangement such as: Container, bow, number of flowers and foliage Slide 25 The height Rule The arrangement should be 1 1/2 to 2 times the height or width of the container whichever is greater Slide 26 Principal: Rhythm Feeling of motion size, shape, color, texture as well as spacing between materials and the way they are angled create rhythm Slide 27 Types of Rhythm Spacing Rhythm space flowers closer together at the focal point, and increase in spacing as the eye travels upward Slide 28 Size Rhythm Larger flowers have more visual weight so are used closer to the focal point. Smaller flowers are placed further away Slide 29 Shape Rhythm Changes in shape can be regular and predictable Narrow pointed buds are used farthest away from the focal point Rounded forms are best nearer the focal point Slide 30 Facing Rhythm Tilting flowers forward increases eye appeal flowers should face forward at the focal point As the eye travels up the vertical line, there should be a gradual and predictable change until the tallest flower is facing upright Slide 31 Depth and Color Rhythm Depth can be achieved by an in and out placement of flowers. Color can lead the eye in and out of the arrangement Colors with the greatest eye appeal are placed near the focal point. Colors that appear heavier are used low in the design. Slide 32 Principal: Harmony Total compatibility of all parts of an arrangement appropriateness of the arrangement to its surroundings or occasion Formality and informality must be considered Slide 33 Principle: Emphasis Also called focal point one material that dominates one area that has the strongest eye appeal color or unusual flowers gives emphasis can be represented by a single largest flower in an all around arrangement the focal point is an imaginary point deep in the arrangement Slide 34 Emphasis Place brighter, darker,stronger materials at the heart. Place eye catching materials at the area of emphasis
