Geometry In Floral Design
Across
- 1. used to break the similarity of an arrangement
- 4. enhances or adds interest to a design
- 6. expressed visually through the elements and include balance, proportion, harmony, unity, dominance, rhythm and contrast
- 7. triangular pattern with a strong “L-Line;” not identical on both sides of a central line
- 9. relationship in units/elements within a design in shape, size, quantity and degree of emphasis
- 10. circular arrangement which is the same when viewed from all angles; only the top flower may differ in height
- 12. asymmetrically balanced design of few materials usually placed in groups which emphasize forms and lines
- 20. location within a design attracting the most attention; center of interest in a design
- 22. use of material in a composition to connect two things which are opposite; visual movement from gradual degrees of change
- 23. triangle with sides of the same length; in traditional geometry, these triangles also have angles of the same measurement
- 25. appealing odor emanating from a specific item
- 29. three dimensional configuration or shape; describes the length, width and height of an object; also known as shape
- 30. triangle with one 90 degree angle
- 31. formal, equilateral triangular design; corresponding in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line
- 32. created by repeating lines, shapes and forms; also referred to as repetition
- 33. two dimensional; geometric shape of an object
- 36. material is the same height
- 37. area which stands out in a design
- 38. visual path the eye is drawn or attracted as it proceeds through the arrangement; curves or directional movement of the arrangement; static/dynamic
- 39. total area a person can see; can be broken up by shapes and forms; positive/ negative; draws attention to a certain area; emphasize importance
Down
- 2. used to create a higher interest
- 3. repeating “like” material within a composition
- 5. equality of distribution throughout an arrangement
- 8. creating contrast by using two conflicting elements; dynamic aesthetic quality which requires the skillful use of contrast; expresses action or energy; principle of contrast
- 11. striking difference between two elements
- 13. supplies, methods and materials which designers use to place and hold flowers and foliage in an arrangement
- 14. triangle which has two sides of the same length
- 15. dimension in a design achieved through the placement of materials; placing materials at different levels in a design
- 16. organization of components into a whole resulting in a cohesive relationship of all parts; oneness of purpose
- 17. area of authority in a design
- 18. circular arrangement with very closely arranged floral materials and in which all
- 19. amount of space a component occupies in a composition
- 21. size of a composition in relation to its surroundings
- 24. visual or tactile feel of an item; surface quality; is know as pattern when enlarged
- 26. also called circular arrangements; do not have a focal point
- 27. visual movement throughout a design; usually achieved by means of repetition
- 28. basic visual qualities of a design; includes line, form, space, texture, pattern, color, size and fragrance
- 34. achieved when all the elements, flowers, foliage and container, complement one another; describes tangible and intangible
- 35. contain more than one single focal point
