1. Chapter 3 Unit 3

2. 1. I Can Identify the Principles of Design? 2. I Can Identify the Basic Designs used in flower arranging?

3.  Balance: Stability of an arrangement secure and stable.  Balance: Visual and Actual

4.  Visual Balance: Appears to the eye.  Created by Color and Flower Placement.  Visual Weight: How heavy object appears.

5.  Mechanical Balance: Placement of flowers so there is an equal amount of weight on both sides.

6.  Symmetrical Balance:  Equal visual weight on each side of an imaginary, central, vertical line.  They are poised rather than moving. Passive not active.

7.  Asymmetrical Balance:  Equal visual weight on both sides of central axis but each side is different in materials.  Active rather than passive.  Movement to the eye.

8.  Proportion :  Interrelationship of the materials in the arrangement. Flower, Foliage  1- 1 ½ Times as high as container.  1-1 ½ Times as wide as container.

9.  Scale:  Relationship between an arrangement and the area where to be displayed.

10.  Focal Point:  Area that attracts and holds interest of the viewer.  Only 1 Focal Point

11.  Emphasis:  Focus attention on one feature and keeps everything else secondary.

12.  Rhythm:  Movement of eye through the design toward or away from Focal Point.  3 Ways achieved  Next 3 Slides

13.  Repetition: #1  Repeating color the leading color, strongest line, dominant form, or texture.

14.  Radiation: #2  All stems appear to come from one central axis.

15.  Progression: #2  Change by decreasing or increasing size, color, or texture of material used in the spaces between flowers.

16.  Harmony: #3  Blending of all components of the design.  Example: Color, Texture, Size, Shape

17.  Unity:  All parts of the design suggest a oneness in idea or impression.  Example: Repeating colors, Focal Point or dominant flower in the design.

18.  Elements are the Visual Qualities of a composition or flower arrangement.  4 elements on the next 4 slides.

19.  Line:  Visual path for the eye to follow, creating motion in the design.  Used to make the line in a design:  Stems  Spikes of flowers  Branches

20.  Form:  The shape or silhouette of an arrangement.  Example:  Circular Arrangement  Triangle Arrangement

21.  Texture:  Surface appearance of:  Flowers  Foliage  Container  Ribbons  Balloons

22.  Color:  Most important element of the arrangement.

23. Tool used to understand the use of colors.

24.  12 colors make up wheel.  Divided into 6 Colors. (Primary and Secondary)  Other 6 colors are mixed in equal amounts with an adjacent secondary color (Intermediate, or Tertiary) also called Hues.  Ex. Blue mixed with green.  3 Primary Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue

25.  Chroma: Measure of brightness or dullness.  Value: How light or dark a color is.  Tint: Adding white to a color.  Shade: Adding black or Tone (Gray)
