Arrangements using Curved Lines

Line, one of the three elements of Sogetsu and my favourite theme because there are so any aspects to Line.

Today’s arrangements emphasised curved lines. If you look closely in nature there is no pure straight form on plant material, everything has some form of shape but when selecting material look for material that already has some natural curve and then you can manipulate the curve further if needed. In preparing your material, follow the correct leant skills in bending your forms and work slowly.

Arrange your material but be mindful that making complete circles can trap the energy of the arrangement making it feel a little constricted. If making a circles leave a slight opening or over lap for the energy. If you do not understand what I am saying experiment yourself create a closed circle and compare it to an open circle then make your own assessment
