introduced by Betty Mazzerella May 12, 2010 MULTI-RHYTHMIC DESIGN 1 A Creative Design with emphasis on two or more rhythms in the design. 2 Lines create two or more separate and distinct rhythms, each creating a different pattern and movement unlike the other. 3 Lines may go in any direction, e.g., straight, curvilinear, zigzag, or a combination, and may cross. 4 The lines may be created by any component/s, continual or broken, or by the repetition of color, form or texture. Explanation a. The rhythms are easily and clearly recognizable and comprise a major part of the design. . b. One rhythm. dominates the design. c. One rhythmic movement may be made up of any combination of straight, curvilinear, or interrupted lines. d. Contrast of color and/or texture ·of each rhythmic movement enhances the overall design. e. Each distinct rhythm may go in the same direction, e.g. vertical, horizontal, diagonal, etc. f. The rhythm may be created by man made material with a minimum of plant material. g. A Parallel Design is a Multi Rhythmic Design. TAPESTRY 1. A Creative solid-mass design with a geometric closed silhouette/s. The design may contain a degree of abstraction. Emphasis is on plant material by volume with other components optional. As an artist creates a painting· work of art, the designer defines the silhouettes within the allotted space. This becomes the canvas and the added components become the medium. 2. The design may have some transparent/translucent/diaphanous components. 3. Imaginative design technique/s and applications must be used, e.g. Pillowing, pave, color blocking, bunching, weaving, etc. See page 158 4. Inner space is achieved by overlapping of planes and/or components by groupings of like colors, textures and forms, and/or by placing next to other contrasting groupings of other components. 5. Staged in any manner. Explanation a. The design is solid. Eye movement stays within the mass. Some degree of abstraction is present. The silhouette may be of one geometric shape or several may make up the design. A Minimal amount of lines/shapes may extend beyond the silhouette. The inner portion of the design is the designer’s choice and need not resemble a traditional tapestry. The design may be similar to a Collage, but it is three dimensional. b. Transparent components may be used to achieve the solid silhouette/s, but must have enough surface quality to cause the eye to pause before passing through it. Inner space may have transparent components seen against solid components. c. Design tecbnique/s and applications, p. 158 or other original techniques must be used. d. Inner space consists of groupings of like components overlapping or placed next to other contrasting groupings or components. MONO BOTANIC DESIGN (MONO-BOT) L Introduction A. DEFINITION -see page 204 in New Handbook 1. A Creative Design using multiple parts of only one family/genus or plant material. Parts may be stems, bloom/s, foliage, roots, fruit, etc. 2. Organization of plant material is designer's choice based on her/his imagination. 3. Non-plant material may be included, but if so, there must be a greater emphasis on the representative plant material in volume and area than the non-plant material. 4. Plant material need not be grown by exhibitor. 5. Schedule may determine the botanical requirement, i.e., family or genus, or may allow designer to choose. II. PLANT FAMILIES A. RESEARCH NEEDED 1.
