Elements of Design
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
Design Principles
Focal Point Catch the eye of the viewer Using unusual flowers
Group color One large flower
Must complement the entire arrangement
Proportion Keep relative size, color, and texture. 1 ½ -2 x the height of container Points farthest from focal point should
have flower buds.
Scale Size of flowers where arrangement is to
be placed Over all size
Accent Draw attention to the design. Enhances the design Could also be focal point
Repetition Accentuates flowers and colors.
rhythm Creates sense of continuity of shapes
colors and textures. It flows!
Harmony Created when all parts of the
arrangement flow together.
unity Flows together and is not segmented Could include: color size and shape.
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
Line… All of these concepts can be obtained by
the use of foliage, flowers, and non-vegetative materials
Form
The shape or contour of individual components in a design
Unity and harmony with surroundings, container, etc.
Space Referring to open areas around the
components used, flowers, foliage, etc.
Negative Positive
Negative Space
Open space
What makes this design have negative space?
Positive Space
Occupied Space
What makes this design have positive space?
Negative or Positive???
TexturePhysical 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
What type of texture?
Pattern “Enlarged Texture”
Less likely perceived by touch
Orderly and measurable arrangements of units
Color
Visual response of the eye to various reflected wavelengths and pigments
Historical Importance Unity/Harmony Provides Balance
Color…
Provides… Energy
Personality Informal/Formal Warmth/Coolness
Affects… Mood/Emotion Personality Atmosphere
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
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
Color Combinations
Monochromatic One hue
Analogous Three or more hues in
sequence from the color wheel
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
Color Combinations…
Triad Three equally spaced
hues on the wheel
Polychromatic Many different hues
Color Combinations…
Achromatic Neutral colors
Size Measurement of
amount of space that something occupies
Considerations… Container Accessories Materials Price Value
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.
