  1. Elements of Design Introduction to Floral Design Ms. Griffin

  2. Elements of Design • Line • Space • Form • Texture • Color

  3. Line • Provides a visual path for the eye to follow, thus creating motion in the design • Framework that holds the entire arrangement together • Lines set an emotional tone

  4. Lines and Emotions • Vertical lines – implies strength, dignity, or feelings of formality • Curved lines – adds a feminine dimension • Horizontal lines – informality and makes people feel restful

  5. Space • The occupied or unoccupied areas of a floral design • There are 3 types • Positive • Negative • Void

  6. Positive Space • Space occupied by flowers and foliages

  7. Negative Space • Empty space, space between flowers and foliages

  8. Void • Connects two areas of space

  9. Form • The shape or silhouette of an arrangement (think basic geometrical shapes) • Round • Triangular • Fan • Curved

  10. Texture • Refers to the surface appearance of flowers, foliage, container, and accessories, such as ribbons and balloons • Texture is designated as fine, medium, or coarse • Texture can also be used to create an emotional response from the viewer

  11. Fine Texture • Includes: Rose Orchids Gardenia Alstroemeria Lily Snapdragons

  12. Medium Texture • Includes: Carnation Gerbera daisy Liatris Salal Pompon mum

  13. Coarse Texture • Includes: Protea Pine Holly Yarrow Zinnia Dahlia

  14. Color • Probably the single most important element of floral design • Colors have to be appealing • Now we will discuss and create the color wheel… --What are the primary colors?

  15. Tertiary Colors

  16. Color Terminology • Hue -a color

  17. Color Terminology • Tint -add white to make color brighter (ex: pink is a tint of red) • Tone -add gray to make a color dull (ex: dusty rose is a tone of pink)

  18. Color Terminology • Shade -add black to make a color darker (ex: burgundy is a shade of red) • Value -brightness or darkness of color depends on amount of black and white added

  19. Color Harmonies • Monochromatic • Analagous • Complementary • Split Complementary • Triadic • Tetrad • Polychromatic

  20. Monochromatic • Use tints, shades and tones of a single hue.

  21. Analagous • Use of two or three hues found next to each other on the color wheel

  22. Complementary • Use of two colors found directly opposite of each other on the color wheel

  23. Split Complementary • Use of a color and the two colors next to its complementary color

  24. Triad • Use of color that lies equal distance from each other on the color wheel

  25. Tetrad • Use of four hues equally spaced on the color wheel

  26. Polychromatic • Use of three or more unrelated colors, tints, shades, and tones • And THEN, there’s emotional response to color…

  27. Warm & Cool Colors • Warm = excitement, happiness, upbeat, fall, tend to stand out • Cool = calm, restful, soothing, spring, tend to recede
