symmetry

symmetry S like salt glaze The term symmetry originally comes from geometry and literally translates from ancient Greek to mean symmetry. Illustrations or objects in the geometrical and mathematical environment are called symmetric if the identical object arises again through various forms of transformation.

Symmetries of all kinds exist not only in the natural sciences, but were early taken up by art. As numerous studies in the field of aesthetics show, people perceive works of art, patterns and even faces of fellow human beings as all the more appealing or sympathetic, the stronger these symmetries. The symmetry thus represents a basic principle of optical harmony, which is also observed in the floristic field. In the compilation of bouquets, as with the creation of beds and borders, care is taken to ensure symmetry of the flowers and plants used in different planes of symmetry. If a symmetry in the floral design is to be broken, a chaotic arrangement is the better choice than only slight changes compared to a symmetrical basic order. In the latter case, the brain is still able to recognize the essential forms of symmetry, all deviating elements are perceived as particularly disturbing in this case.

texture

texture T like table decoration The term texture comes from modern design and has similarities to the term decor.

Since this is not always desired, the vessel is mechanically covered with a decor after production in the last production step, after which a glaze is often applied to strengthen the motif against external influences. A texture for the corresponding decor is created beforehand and can be understood as a blueprint for the final decor. In the computer age, different textures can be tested on the computer screen, provided the object to be designed is available as a 3D model. Patterns of all kinds can be effortlessly adapted to the exact shape of the respective object, designers can use this to recognize whether the pattern as a texture for the object is an attractive sight. Even if the term is rarely used outside of computer technology, manual textures can also play a role in the design of objects, for example by stopping sketches on a vase or bowl in the artisan production.
