| Without space, there is no form. Space is the emptiness left
around each flower or mass of flowers. Space is needed to enhance each individual
leaf, blossom or branch, and to give individual forms importance. Space allows the
viewer to enjoy the parts that make up the whole. Positive
space is what we are intended to see. It is the area within a floral design that is
occupied by a material. A flower blossom occupies a specific amount of positive
space.
Negative space is the planned empty area between flowers
and other plant materials.
Void Space in a floral design is an empty, open space that
connects one area of positive space with another. A void is a connecting space in a
design. Voids are distinct visual lines that connect materials to the rest of the
design. |
