1. What is flower arrangement?

Flower arrangement is to put flowers in containers such as bottles and jars, rather than planting them in these containers. The inserted flower, branch, flower or leaf has no root, but is only a part of the plant. They are selected according to certain ideas and inserted into a beautiful body (shape) according to certain creative rules, thus expressing certain themes, conveying feelings and interests, making people look pleasing to the eye and gaining spiritual beauty and pleasure. Therefore, flower arrangement is an art, which belongs to the category of plastic arts like sculpture, bonsai, gardening and architecture. Taking the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits cut by plants as raw materials, after some techniques such as pruning, pruning and bending, and artistic processing such as conception, modeling and coloring, they are reconfigured into a delicate and beautiful flower art that can reproduce the beauty of nature and life, which is called the art of flower arrangement.

It seems simple to arrange flowers, but it is not easy to really insert a good work. Because it is neither a simple combination of flowers nor a simple shape, but an artistic creation activity with vivid form, both form and spirit, moving people with emotion and integrating life, knowledge and art. Flower arrangement is created with heart.

Second, the characteristics of flower arrangement art

Although the art of flower arrangement has many similarities with sculpture, bonsai, gardening, architecture and other art disciplines, it also has its own characteristics.

1. Timeliness: Because all flowers are rootless and rootless, their absorption of water and nutrients is limited. According to different plant species and seasons, the hydroponic culture time varies from 1 ~ 2 days to 1 day or month. Therefore, flower arrangement works can be created and appreciated in a short time, and it is a quick and short-lived art appreciation activity, which requires creators and appreciators to take the time to insert and taste.

2. Randomness: This shows that the choice of flowers and containers is arbitrary and extensive, with high and low levels and various forms, and is often chosen according to occasions and needs. Advanced aerial orchids, crane orchids, flamingos and cut roses are certainly beautiful, and roadside green bristlegrass, sorrel, reed flowers, cattail and plantain can also be useful; Celery, peppers, beans, radishes and various fruits are often good materials for arranging flowers in families and restaurants. Its conception and modeling can be simple or complex, and it can be created and expressed at will according to the needs of different occasions and the author's own wishes. Therefore, flower arrangement works are more flexible in material selection, creation, form, display and replacement.

3. Decorative: Flower arrangement works that combine the beauty of many kinds of flowers and follow the environment have the strongest artistic appeal, the fastest beautification effect and the immediate effect. This is incomparable to bonsai, sculpture and other arts.

4. naturalness: the uniqueness of flower arrangement works lies in the gorgeous colors, graceful, fragrant and fresh natural atmosphere of natural flowers. In short, the art of flower arrangement is a beautification method, an artistic accomplishment, and a cultural and recreational activity that is closest to the living environment and most easily accepted by people. Plastic arts that use patterns to express their mentality.

Third, cultivate flower arrangement literacy.

Learning to arrange flowers can not only decorate your living environment at any time and place, but also add beauty and warmth to family life. It is also the most elegant and precious gift for visiting relatives and friends and welcoming guests. If you learn to arrange flowers, you will always be friends with flowers, which will not only bring you the beauty of nature, but also show the rich connotations of various flower arrangement works-either warm and happy, beautiful and elegant, or absolute beauty, or proud of frost and snow, or tough and resolute, and can gradually beautify, purify people's hearts, cultivate sentiment, and play the role of self-cultivation, friendship promotion and information transmission.

Therefore, flower arrangement is practical, informative and interesting, which can not only entertain people, but also bring joy and joy, symbolize good wishes and make people love life more. It is no wonder that flower arranging lovers at all levels, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, regard the art of flower arranging as their life and spiritual pillar, and its great role and influence are obvious. Studying abroad reminds you that it is not difficult to learn flower arrangement, but it is not easy to create real works of art if you insert it well. Flower arrangement is an art and art needs to be created. Successful works can give people beautiful enjoyment, and when enjoying them, they feel connected with each other. If they are enlightened, they will have endless aftertaste and gain knowledge.

Of course, beginners should learn and practice step by step to master the knowledge and skills of flower arrangement. For beginners, it is very important to learn the skills of flower arrangement, such as the selection and treatment of flower materials, composition, modeling and collocation. But that's not enough. We should also learn about plants, painting, literature and so on, so as to flexibly use the above skills for artistic creation. Therefore, flower arranging artists, like writers, painters and performing artists, should go deep into society and life, seek the source and inspiration of creation, and make their works have both formal beauty and ideological and emotional artistic conception. Only good at arranging flowers, the author of the work lacks creativity and artistic conception, and is only a florist at best. It can be seen that to learn flower arrangement well, we must constantly enrich and improve our cultural and artistic accomplishment, so that the works have vivid, emotional and poetic artistic conception and spiritual beauty. Of course, because of the practicality of flower arrangement, it is very important to practice regularly.

Practical flower arrangement skills

1. Natural composition flower arrangement

A: Generally, the growth of plants starts from a point. Therefore, when arranging flowers, the flower arranging device should be regarded as the earth, so that all floral arrangements should start from one place, making people feel that they have grown from one place. Only in this way can the flower arrangement appear energetic and smooth. Otherwise, the branches cross loosely, just like weeds, and there is no aesthetic feeling, so the branches should be as close as possible and as concentrated as possible.

B: The number of flowers should be single, not double. Even numbered flowers tend to look dull, while odd numbered flowers are easy to shape and can induce reverie. We flower growers should try to turn even numbers into odd numbers. For example, four flowers can be inserted into 3+ 1, that is, three flowers are inserted together, and 1 flowers can be inserted into three groups of 3+2+ 1, so the appearance will change.

2. Break the right path and seek strange flower arrangement

The shape should not be single, and it is best not to completely leak out of the bottle mouth. If the lines are single or the colors are monotonous, it will make people feel boring. In the traditional art of flower arrangement, the technique of "breaking" is often used to make it have ups and downs. For example, if you insert one or two lines with opposite directions into a group of lines indicating directions, you will feel the lines stand out. A group of round lines (such as a round flower and a round Ye Er) can add interest and vitality if they are interrupted by one or two lines of other shapes. Usually straight lines are bent, horizontal lines are interrupted by vertical lines, and round lines are interrupted by long lines.

3. Pattern composition and flower arrangement

This pattern emphasizes symmetry and presents neat circular, semi-circular, rectangular, tower-shaped, cylindrical and radial patterns. Conventional flower arrangement requires a wide variety of flowers, lush foliage and strong colors, mainly showing solemn and generous, graceful and gorgeous style. It is a common form of etiquette flower arrangement and western flower arrangement, and is suitable for the display of meeting rooms, living rooms and restaurants.

4. Bonsai composition and flower arrangement:

This method is mainly displayed in the form of bonsai in China, showing the beauty of nature, emphasizing the conception of artistic conception and the blending of things and feelings, plants and emotions. Wide selection of materials, shallow basin suitable for containers, suitable for placing in places with simple background and elegant environment, more elegant and refined.

5. Game-style composition flower arrangement:

Also known as interesting flower arrangement, it is mostly based on wild plants and pastoral fruits and vegetables in nature, and is generally a creative work with characteristics, simplicity and fresh local flavor. Its flower arrangement method breaks the traditional way and becomes free and unrestrained. Rough and simple containers, such as shells, conchs, bamboo slips, farm tools, gourds and baskets, show elegant, natural and vibrant colors.

You must know the skills of arranging flowers in the room.

Rooms can generally be divided into Japanese-style rooms and western-style rooms. Japanese-style rooms are suitable for elegant flowers, with less beautiful, elegant and calm flowers; Western-style rooms should choose the most gorgeous western-style flowers, display colorful flowers as much as possible, and feel harmony.

The flowers in the corner of the decoration room should choose a single front shape, but the flower shape should be high and the grass should choose a higher variety; Xiaosheng can't generalize according to the specific circumstances of his family. We should choose flowers according to the occasion. The flowers placed on the table in the center of the living room for viewing around must be designed into two faces, three faces or even four faces.

First, flowers in western-style rooms

Western-style rooms are mostly decorated with oil paintings and watercolors, which are magnificent, so compared with traditional elegant flowers, colorful plants are more suitable. Because the flowers on the living room round table or dining table should be considerable in all directions, it is advisable to choose four fronts, or two fronts that are short and slightly prominent on the plate (that is, from the front, the right is high and the left is low, from the back, the left is high and the right is low, the front and back are relative, generally low, and even the theme is lower than the general flowers).

This is because when sitting opposite the guest's table, if the flowers on the table are as high as usual, it will affect the guest's line of sight. At this time, if the flowerpot itself is relatively high, you can use the flower shape hanging in all directions to hold flowers.

Second, flowers in Japanese-style rooms

Japanese rooms usually put flowers in niches. The niche varies with the width of the room. In order to coordinate with the niche, the flowers placed in the big niche should be extensive and masculine, and the natural flowers should be built as little as possible. The situation of the minority is just the opposite.

Putting extensive flowers in a niche will have a sense of disharmony; However, large niches use a lot of materials when holding flowers carefully. No matter how they are arranged, there is always the disadvantage of obliterating natural customs.

Japanese niches and the location of flowers

Hanging shafts are usually hung in the center of Buddhist niches. If the hanging axis is short, flowers can be placed in the middle of the niche; When the hanging shaft is long, flowers should be placed on the right or left side of the hanging shaft, because this will block the picture and hinder viewing.

Third, the flowers on the table

Decorate on the table in front of the wall, dressing room, mirror, etc. , placed on three or four sides, the center of the flower is on the high side, and the bright grass flowers or green leaves grown in gardens and greenhouses are properly configured. Tables in the corner of other rooms should be decorated with one-sided flowers or three-sided flowers.
