1. Flower Arrangement Art Generally speaking, the art of flower arrangement requires mastering the "six methods", namely: high and low, scattered and orderly, combination of virtual and real, pitching and echoing, light at the top and heavy at the bottom, scattered at the top and gathered at the bottom. Specific creation needs to pay attention to: (1) The rhythm changes of the picture should be natural and consistent with the color atmosphere of the surrounding environment; (2) There is a master and a slave, which is both stable and dynamically balanced; (3) Contrast and unity, flower branches The shade of color, the quantity, the thickness of the texture, the size of the flowers, etc., should all be planned as a whole.
The forms of flower arrangements that people like to see are nothing more than the following: (1) Upright-this is the most common, the height of the flower branches is generally more than one and a half times the height of the bottle. This form pursues Artistic conception pays attention to the connotation; (2) Flowery style - the flowers and branches are rich in appearance, numerous but not messy, thus setting off the mood and atmosphere. (3) Others include recumbent type, cliff type, etc. "Although peonies are good, they still have green leaves to hold them together." Beautiful and colorful flower arrangements need simple and dignified containers to set off them. Common flower branches suitable for such containers in shallow water include narcissus, amaryllis, pansy, cyclamen, etc. Some people also like to use tall pots or special-shaped utensils to arrange flowers. Tubular flower arrangement has always been appreciated by literati, because bamboo tubes have the advantages of beautiful knot patterns, light yellow and elegant colors, and can be combined with the art of bamboo carving. In addition, household spoons, basins, plates, bowls, tea cups, etc. can also be used for flower arrangements and create a rich flavor of life.
2. Flower arrangement skills (1) is to choose the cut flowers. Commonly used cut flower materials mainly include peony, peony, gladiolus, rose, rose, chrysanthemum, iris, fragrant willow, rose, lotus, peony, etc. (2) It is to grasp the quality of cut flowers. That is, when the flower buds are not yet in full bloom, cut them with sharp shears. If you buy flower branches at a flower shop or flower market, you should choose ones that are in bud, fresh and juicy, free from diseases and insect pests, and have all the flowers and leaves. (3) Choose a good vase. The vase should be simple, generous, elegant, clean, and the shape and size should match the flowers. In order to keep it stable, you can put a few small stones at the bottom of the vase to prevent it from being top-heavy and for decoration. (4) Pay attention to water quality. The best water for flower arrangement is "water from the sky". If tap water is used, it must be placed in the vat for three days before use. Bottle water cannot be used once and for all and should be replaced daily. At night, the vase can be moved outdoors to receive rain and dew.Moisturize. (5) It pays attention to special treatment. For example, before putting peonies and peonies in a vase, you can draw a match at the base of the flower branches to burn them, so that they can bloom for a few more days. Another example is roses planted in sucrose water, which can keep blooming for 9 days. (6) is the design shape. Flower arranging has principles and no fixed rules, so you can feel free to use it according to your needs. You can insert one or two or three kinds of flower branches to make them colorful, cleverly matched and properly placed. In this regard, predecessors have summarized their experience as follows: "One branch, two branches are upright, three branches and four branches are slanted, it is better to be upright than to be crooked, and to fight for purity rather than extravagance".
Third, the six basic methods of flower arrangement are staggered heights and lows, uniform density, combination of virtuality and reality, upward and downward echoes, lightness at the top and weight at the bottom, scattering at the top and gathering at the bottom. 1. The heights are staggered, and the flower design should be expressed in a three-dimensional space, which requires the use of points, lines, surfaces and other modeling elements in a multi-dimensional space to carry out hierarchical position management. Up and down, left and right, front and back are clearly layered but tend to be unified, and strive to avoid The main flowers should be on the same horizontal line or the same vertical line. 2. The flowers should be sparse and dense in the arrangement. There should be natural changes. Painting theory says that the sparseness can be like a horse, the denseness is airtight, as sparse as morning stars, and as dense as rain in a pond. , sparse and dense alternately, well-proportioned, generally dense at the center of the work, sparse at places far away from the center of the work. There should be blank space in the work, with a contrast between density and density, and do not fill it all up. 3. Combine the virtual and the real, the lining material and the main flower complement each other, the tangible and the intangible echo, use the real to hide the virtual, use the virtual to create the environment, bake the solid, and give the solid. Taking life, spirituality and living as the core, the combination of virtual and real can be understood in many ways. It mainly refers to where the vision is visible, the tangible scene is real, where the mind imagines, the invisible mirror is virtual, the flower is real, and the leaf is virtual. There are flowers but no leaves and lack of foil. There are leaves but no flowers but lack of substance. The buds are virtual, the full flowers are real, the vines are virtual, the center flowers are real, the front flowers are real, the side and back flowers are virtual, the block flowers are real, and the fine flowers are broken. The leaves are virtual, the planar leaves are solid, and the linear leaves are virtual. The blank space in the painting is a method of leaving virtuality in the solid. Used in flower arrangements to create an ethereal and mysterious feeling, and can also enhance the contrast between density and density. 4. Up and down, no matter it is a single work or a combined work, it should show its integrity and balance. The flowers and materials should be centered around the center of gravity, and the mind should be coordinated. It should not only reflect the integrity of the work, but also maintain the work. balance. When the flowers are centered around the center of gravity and are coordinated, they can form a whole body. The vertical and downward response of the flowers should lead the audiences sight to the center of gravity, creating a sense of stability. 5. The top is light and the bottom is heavy. There is no distinction between light and heavy flowers. Its just the difference in texture, shape and color that creates a psychological sense of weight. Flowers with similar texture and appearance are easier to achieve coordination when combined together. On this basis, flowers of different colors can also be combined to achieve colorful and coordinated flowers. systemThe effect of one generally refers to those that are small in shape, light in texture, and light in color, placed at the top or outside. On the contrary, they should be inserted near the center of gravity to keep the center of gravity of the work stable, such as blooming flowers on top and clumps of buds on the bottom. The flowers are on the top, and they can be inserted into clusters of shallow flowers on the bottom to achieve the balance of the center of gravity of the work. 6. Scattering at the top and gathering at the bottom means that the base of each part of the flower material should be gathered together like a tree trunk and twisted into a strong force, as if they are from the same root. If the branches are scattered, they should show their individuality, spread out appropriately, and be graceful, so that the work has both varied and rich individuality and unity. The key to flower arrangement is that the base of the flower material is gathered together, and the upper part is naturally scattered, like a cluster. Shrubs, naturally orderly.
