I. Flowers, containers and tools

1. Flowers: There are a wide variety of plants in nature, and most of them can be used as materials for flower arrangement. As long as they do not pollute the environment, are non-toxic, odorless and have no other irritating smells, can maintain their inherent posture for a long time under water conditions, and have a certain ornamental value, they can be used for flower arrangement.

2. Containers: Flower arrangement containers refer to tools that can hold a certain amount of water, meet the requirements of water cultivation of cut flowers, and set off flowers. There are many containers for flower arrangement. In addition to common pots and bottles, there are also teapots, wine glasses, fruit bowls, dishes, etc. that are used in daily life. Even wine bottles, cans, etc., as long as they can hold water, can be used.

3. Tools: The tools generally used for flower arrangement are: knives, scissors, flower vases, flower mud, copper wire, etc.

II. The conception and techniques of flower arrangement To create

flower arrangement works , you must first establish the conception, that is, determine the theme of the work. Generally, the scope of establishing the theme idea includes the following three aspects: 1. Create for various festive, ceremonial and social activities . This type of flower arrangement theme is based on celebration, friendship, welcome, and blessing, expressing a warm, festive, happy, and cheerful atmosphere. 2. Created for decoration and beautification of the environment. The places where flower arrangements are placed in the home are mainly living rooms, bedrooms, and study rooms; public places include hotel lobbies, guest rooms, banquet halls, and conference rooms. In order to beautify the environment, the decorativeness of the work and the coordination with the environment are emphasized. The expression of the theme can be created according to different properties and atmospheres. 3. Created for artistic expression and appreciation. The theme of the work highlights the beauty of artistic creation and artistic processing, and emphasizes innovation. The theme of flower arrangement works can be conceived and expressed in the following ways: 1. Use the seasonal landscape changes of flowers to express the theme. For example, use spring flowering plant materials such as forsythia and peach blossoms to express the theme of "spring". Another example is that chrysanthemums and orange-yellow ears of grain and wheat are arranged together to express the joy of maturity in golden autumn and praise for hard work. 2. Use the traditional symbolism of plants to express the theme. The symbolic meaning of trees, flowers and plants plays an important guiding role in flower arrangement. For example, peony is a symbol of wealth and good fortune; lily symbolizes a long-lasting marriage; bamboo symbolizes integrity, etc. 3. Express the theme based on the homophony and flower language of plants. For example, the work "Bamboo brings peace" uses bamboo branches to express the traditional meaning of peace. 4. Express the theme with the help of containers and accessories. For example, a pair of Dutch wooden boots is used as a flower arrangement container to conceive the theme of "step forward and a bright future". 3. Basic shape and composition of flower arrangement The shape of flower arrangement depends on various factors such as its subject matter, content, shape and size of flowers and containers, and the environment in which the flower arrangement is located. The shape of flower arrangement is ever-changing, but there are rules to follow. In summary, the shape structure can be divided into two categories, namely symmetrical composition and asymmetrical composition. 1. Symmetrical composition Symmetrical flower arrangement is arranged evenly on both sides of the assumed central axis or above and below, in a state of the same shape and quantity. This composition is called a symmetrical composition form. Common shapes include spherical, hemispherical, radial, elliptical, isosceles triangle, etc. 2. Asymmetrical composition Asymmetrical flower arrangement composition has no obvious geometric central axis. It is usually determined by the composition method of unequal triangles. Its characteristics are based on the principle of asymmetrical balance, rich in changes, and can achieve lively and natural artistic effects. It is the traditional composition principle of oriental flower arrangement. Common shapes are as follows: A. upright B. inclined C. horizontal D. drooping E. S-shaped F. L-shaped. IV. Six basic techniques of flower arrangement: 1. High and low staggered means that the position of flowers should be staggered in height and front and back, and should not be inserted in the same straight line or horizontally. 2. Sparse and dense means that each flower and each leaf should have its ornamental effect and composition effect. 3. Virtual and real means that flowers are real and leaves are virtual. 4. Upward and downward echo means that the flowers and leaves surround the whole, echo each other, open and close, so that there is closure in opening and opening in closing. 5. Light on top and heavy on bottom means that small flowers (buds) are on top, large flowers are on top, small branches and leaves are on top, large ones are on the bottom, flowers with light colors are on top, dark colors are on the bottom, making the work appear natural and full of vitality.









































6. "Scattered on top and gathered on the bottom" means that the base of the flowers should be gathered together, like they grow on the same stem; the upper part should be sparse and colorful.

V. Color matching of flower

arrangement 1. Monochrome combination Choose a flower color to compose the picture. You can match it with a single color of the same brightness or with a single color of different brightness (dark or light).

2. Similar color combination (approximate color matching) Similar colors are close in hue, brightness, and purity. The color matching is coordinated, soft, and elegant. It is suitable for placement in a relatively quiet environment.

C. Standard assessment: Students continue to complete the flower arrangement works. The representative flower arrangement works are played on the screen in a loop. Students create beauty in the beautiful music, and the teacher provides guidance.
D: Summary: Students evaluate each other's works and provide reference books and websites. Praise the groups and students who have completed the work well. I hope that students will apply the content learned in this lesson to their lives, embellish your life with flowers, and use flowers to express their feelings.
