OrganizationIV. HarmonyV. UnityCurrent Lecture – Floral Design Principles: Primary Principles I. Floral Design Principles = fundamental guidelines expressed visually through the use of the elements of design-Govern organization of materialsII. Composition = organization or grouping of different components to achieve a unified wholeIII. Organization – an exact, thorough process starting with the selection of the container, floral materialsand accessories, and ending with the placement of these components in the design. Achieved through the Design Process.-Each component should contribute to the overall outcome of the designIV. Harmony = the aesthetic quality created through the pleasing interaction of a combination of components in a composition-Answer the following questions in order to achieve harmony in a design:oWhat is the mood/theme of the composition?oWhat elements such as line, form, texture, color, and space?oDo the components go well together?oDo added accessories enhance the existing components?-Things to consider:oContainer/MechanicsoFlowers and foliageoAccessories oPlacementoUnity V. Unity = state of being one; relationship of parts to each other should produce a single, general effect-Can be achieved by: oProximity – placing components close togetheroRepetition – of some element or componentoTransition – gradual change from one component to the next-Unity with Variety: HORT 203 1st EditionoRepeat colors, but different tints, tones, and shadesoRepeat shapes but different sizesoUse a focal pointoAvoid geometric stiffness-Unity vs. HarmonyoUnity is expressed more clearly as the relationship between the individual components (color, texture, shape)oHarmony is expressed as the overall relationship between all of the components, the theme, mood, and final effect of the
