LineIn The AIFDGuide to Floral Design, line is defined as *the vital visual path that directs eye movement through a composition."Where do the lines in this design lead your eye Up And perhaps, also back in toward the center, in the case of the slightly in-curving calla stems.The hala foliage is a good example of static line: it reinforces the strong lines of the container and the overall form of the design. "Static" sounds like a bad thing, but here, the predominance of static lines is part of what makes this design calmingand restful. At the base of the design, your eye might be directed to wander here and there by the implied lines leading from one round craspedia to the next. These can also be called dynamic lines, since they weave their way in opposition to the form. Being relatively weak, they add a little tension to the design, but not too much—just enough.
