What do you call sculptures made of fresh/dried flowers?

Question

Guys, what do you call 3D sculptures made of fresh / dried flowers? And does any1 know where i could find some photographs and/or tutorials? Thanks

It's basically if you wanted to create, say symbol "$", 1m x 1m using flowers, but not on a flat surface

Answer 1

A fresh or dried flower Sculpture.
Most likely Floral Design.
You will see fresh versions of this done in floral creations or arrangements, done by florists.
Garden Structures would be done by landscapers.
What a great idea! You can see from the answers that you have gotten that you may have hooked into something unique as there is not a lot known or seen about it.
For tutorials; try using floral foam, there is a specific type if you are going to use fresh or dried flowers.
Michael's and Wall Mart carry the one for dried flowers. For the fresh floral foam, go and ask a florist if they could sell you some.
Wrap screen door metal mesh around the shape/form that you want to create.
Puncture the form with a knife in the various places that you intend on using the flowers and insert the foliage and flowers.
Using greenery will help you" Fill In" as a backdrop which helps hides the form Wire, mesh. It is also less costly to use than flowers alone. you may need to make a base in order for your sulpture to stand upright.
You can look under floral design in yahoo and take it from there.There are also courses that you can take.
HGTV is also good.

Hope this helped,
Cheers!

Answer 2

art of flower arranging?
Or if you cover a float with it (usually the flowers are attached to a chickenwire covered shape, see first link) then I don't know how it's called, but you find images of it by searching for flower parades.
Or it's just called sculpture, maybe mixed media sculpture if it is used as by Anna Gallacio.
Or if you plant the flowers it's called gardening.

Answer 3

Hello.

Professionally, you can just call it Installation or assemblage.

The idea is more important that the material that you will be using.

American artist, Jeff Koons had done a huge sculpture in the shape of a giant scottish puppy and also used flowers as materials.

Answer 4

I have never heard of any specific name or style name for this type of sculpture. You can try websites and books from the library on floral arranging, then take it big for effect.

Answer 5

A float in the Rose Bowl Parade?

Answer 6

I believe it's called a "still-life". Even though the flowers are dead, it is still a still-life. Are you painting, drawing or photographing them or are they themselves the actual artwork? I will find out at school.

Answer 7

Kindling

Answer 8

Would they be called dead natures, as the paintings with the same motives are called? that's something new for me. If you refer to those beautiful sculptures with plants the Japanese do, otherwise, it would be called Bonsai.
