LFSTPCS |
|
|
Line |
Visual path the eye follows to produce motion. |
|
|
|
Form |
The shape or contour of the individual components in a composition. |
Mechanical |
|
|
Space |
Think of as referring to open areas around the individual components in a composition. Must include total designed space. |
Area occupied |
|
|
Positive space |
The area occupied by materials . |
|
|
|
Negative Space |
Not occupied by by components/materials. Open space. |
|
|
|
Texture |
Relative, refers to physical surface qualities of plant materials. |
Smoothness |
|
|
Pattern |
Enlarged, less likely to be perceived by touch. |
|
|
|
Color |
Visiual response of the eye to various reflected wavelengths and pigments. Gives life and personality. |
|
|
|
Design |
Skeletal pattern of a piece of art. |
|
|
|
Size |
Visual dimension of a component. |
|
|
|
Principles of Design |
Fundamental guidelines that help a designer achieve excellence in a composition. They govern the organization of materials in accordance with the Laws of nature. |
|
|
|
Primary Principals of Design |
Proportion, Balance, Dominance, Rhythm, Contrast, Harmony, Unity |
|
|
|
Secondary Principles of design |
Scale, Focal area/Focal point, Repetition, Accent, Depth, Transition, Opposition, Tension, Variation |
|
|
|
Primary and Secondary Principles of Design |
Primary are strong and can stand on their own to enhance the elements of design. Secondary may supplement the primary by being more specific in the design. |
|
|
|
Proportion |
Compares the relationship of the units to each other in size, quantity, and degree of emphasis within. Primary principal which has a close relationship to all of the elements and principles of design. |
|
|
|
Scale |
Secondary principle. The relative ratio of the size of a composition to its surroundings. |
|
|
|
Standard proportions |
1 1/2 times it's height of the container is tall or 1 1/2 times it's width if it is low. |
|
|
|
Golden section |
Formed when any line segment is divided in such a way that the ratio of the smaller segment to the larger segment is equal to the whole. |
|
|
|
Balance |
In a flower arrangement refers to the arrangement’s equilibrium and equality in weight, both physical and visual. Can be achieved through several different methods. |
|
|
|
Physical balance |
is the actual stability of plant materials within a container. A properly designed arrangement that has physical balance will not fall over and can stand freely on its own. |
|
|
|
Visual Balance |
It is the perception of an arrangement being balanced—that is, being of equal weight on both sides of the central axis. A design that is not visually balanced will bother the viewer much like a crooked painting on a wall. Visual balance should be evident from three views: side to side; top to bottom; and front to back. Two types are symmetrical and asymmetrical. |
|
|
|
Size |
The dimensions of Line form and space. |
|
|
|
Proportion |
Relationship of one part to another |
|
|
|
Scale |
The relationship of a composition to its surroundings |
|
