How To Arrange Flowers
The origin of the art of flower arrangement should be attributed to people's love for flowers, which is a kind of artistic conception to express the truth and splendor of life.
A successful flower arrangement does not necessarily require the use of expensive flower materials and expensive flower utensils. A green leaf, a flower bud, and even the common fruits and vegetables of wild flowers and weeds on the roadside can be inserted into an excellent work that is pleasing to the eye.
It is the creator's real purpose that makes the viewer resonate in the mind. If there is no resonance, then the work will lose its viewing value. Specifically, the flower arrangement should firstly evoke a natural sensory and emotional response in sight. If the response is not immediate, the flowers in front of you will not be able to attract the viewer's attention.
There are three elements that arouse the viewer's emotional response in flower arrangement works: First, creativity or conception. It refers to what theme to express and what flower material should be selected. The second is the idea. It refers to how these flowers are skillfully configured and shaped to fully display their respective beauty in the works. The third is the plug. Refers to the flower arrangement utensils that match the creativity. With the organic cooperation of the three, the works will give people a beautiful enjoyment.
In the design of flowers, also pay attention to the following aspects.
The first thing to do is to keep the highs and lows different. When arranging flowers, the height of the flower branches should be staggered, and do not let them all in one position. It can be staggered left and right, front and rear, up and down, it is best to have a little level, not too messy. Generally, as long as it is not on the same horizontal line, the final product is very beautiful.
Secondly, in the process of flower arrangement, it should be noted that the flowers should be dense and dense, and the flowers should not be very close or too loose. It can be a little tighter in the middle, and the surrounding flowers need to be looser. In addition, in the collocation of flowers, the virtual and real should be combined. The main flower and the supporting flowers should be coordinated, not too messy or too the same.
Lastly, keep up light and down heavy. The weight mentioned here is not the weight of the flower, but the feeling caused by vision. Flowers should be coordinated a bit. Putting flowers with similar texture and appearance together will increase the original coordination and make flowers with different shapes more harmonious and beautiful. When arranging flowers, pay attention to the distance between each flower. Each flower can be different, and flowers with the same shape can also use the overlapping method.
