Floral design pays attention to the beauty of rhythm. Whether in the elegant and simple Eastern floral art or in the Western floral art with rich flower materials, it is an important criterion to measure whether the work is high-end.
So what is the rhythmic beauty of floral design? To put it simply, floral art works should be dense and dense, with ups and downs and a sense of rhythm. Compared with the color and shape of flowers, this sense of rhythm is more elusive. Also consider the different sizes of flowers in bud and full bloom.
Take the calla lily as an example. When the flower is not in bloom, the whole flower is just a thick line. When the flower is fully bloomed, the flower head is a directional slope. The flower is considered a block flower when viewed alone. When viewed together with the stem, , but they are soft lines. This is no longer a question of which category it belongs to, and then how to use it according to that category of flowers.
Floral design should make full use of the characteristics of plants at different angles and different degrees of openness to present beauty. When using calla lilies to arrange flowers, you must pay attention to the height, length, flower head orientation, and when the flowers are blooming and not blooming. The color proportions of the flowers should be harmonious throughout the composition.
This kind of rhythm is like the ups and downs of music, the changes in intensity of rhythm, the continuous charm of dance movements, the hooks and dots of calligraphy, the cadence of recitation, the harmony of long and short sentences in Song poetry, and classical poetry. The rhythm and rhythm of poetry, the changes in light and dark tones in photography, the use of lines and colors in art, and even the graphics in mathematical logic...
I have heard that art is all connected, but I still don’t understand why. Let’s go deeper. After learning flower art, I realized that the beauty of this rhythm is probably the most important thing in common.
Floral art is like a bridge. There are many kinds of arts that can be understood by analogy. There are so many things to learn, and we still need to keep working hard!
