2. Elements of Design

3. Objectives  Students will be able to:  Identify the types of flowers used in floral design  List and describe the nine basic principals of floral design  Identify six basic floral design shapes

4. Design Principles

5. Focal Point  Catch the eye of the viewer  Using unusual flowers  Group color  One large flower  Must complement the entire arrangement

7. Proportion  Keep relative size, color, and texture.  1 ½ -2 x the height of container  Points farthest from focal point should have flower buds.

9. Scale  Size of flowers where arrangement is to be placed  Over all size

10. Accent  Draw attention to the design.  Enhances the design  Could also be focal point

11. Repetition  Accentuates flowers and colors.

12. rhythm  Creates sense of continuity of shapes colors and textures.  It flows!

13. Harmony  Created when all parts of the arrangement flow together.

14. unity  Flows together and is not segmented  Could include: color size and shape.

15. Line  Visual path that the eye follows to produce motion  Use of materials is important helping to create..  Severe/soft  Masculine/feminine  Gentle/strength  Definition  Focal Point

16. Line…  All of these concepts can be obtained by the use of foliage, flowers, and non- vegetative materials

17. Form  The shape or contour of individual components in a design  Unity and harmony with surroundings, container, etc.

18. Space  Referring to open areas around the components used, flowers, foliage, etc.  Negative  Positive

19. Negative Space  Open space  What makes this design have negative space?

20. Positive Space  Occupied Space  What makes this design have positive space?

21. Negative or Positive???

22. Texture Physical surface qualities of plant materials  Course/Fine  Rough/Smooth  Glossy/Dull  Delicate /Harsh  Affects sight, sound and other values  Create interest with  Complements the design

23. What type of texture?

24. Pattern “Enlarged Texture”  Less likely perceived by touch  Orderly and measurable arrangements of units

25. Color  Visual response of the eye to various reflected wavelengths and pigments  Historical Importance  Unity/Harmony  Provides Balance

26. Color…  Provides…  Energy  Personality  Informal/Formal  Warmth/Coolness  Affects…  Mood/Emotion  Personality  Atmosphere

27. Color Wheel  Primary  blue, red, yellow  Secondary  orange, green, violet  Tertiary  Red-orange, red-violet, blue-green, blue- violet, yellow-green, yellow-orange  Primary color ALWAYS listed first

28. Color…  Hue  Color ex: green, red, yellow, etc  Tint  Add white to color ex: pink  Shade  Add black to color ex: maroon  Tone  Add gray to color  Value  Lightness or darkness of color ex: pink to maroon

29. Color Combinations  Monochromatic  One hue  Analogous  Three or more hues in sequence from the color wheel

30. Color Combinations…  Complementary  Opposites on color wheel  Ex: blue and yellow  Split Complementary  Two colors to either side of complementary color  Ex: violet and yellow

31. Color Combinations…  Triad  Three equally spaced hues on the wheel  Polychromatic  Many different hues

32. Color Combinations…  Achromatic  Neutral colors

33. Size  Measurement of amount of space that something occupies  Considerations…  Container  Accessories  Materials  Price  Value

34. Review the Elements of Design…  What are the elements?  Line, Form, Space, Texture, Pattern, Color, Size  How would you use the elements?  What are some uses of lines?  Difference between pattern and texture.  List some color combinations.  Monochromatic, analogous, complementary, etc.
