TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 1. Line It is the spaces and create a sense of movement in the landscape. boundaries of any landscape Has anything to do with eye movement or flow  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 1. Types of Line Curved- bending lines can be used to lead people slowly around a corner Straight- more powerful, structural, and sturdy than curving lines Horizontal- will stop your eye and direct you along the way. Used in the landscape to lead viewers Vertical- move you up and down in the landscape. Taller trees, larger structural features such as an arbor should make your eyes go upward. They make the space feel larger and help enclose the space.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Form Shape and structure of landscape features.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form a. Horizontal and Spreading Forms draw attention to the lateral expanse and breadth of space. They are relaxing because they follow the natural direction of eye movement.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form b. Rounded Forms are more often seen in plant materials. They facilitate eye movement and generate pleasing waves that lead to plant groupings.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form c. Vase-Shaped Under the canopy, trees form a nice "people place."  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form d. Weeping forms Bring the attention back to the ground. What is beneath the weeping shape is frequently a focal point.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form e. Pyramidal forms Use sparingly since it directs your attention upward. The upward force will be softened by grouping pyramidals. They will appear more natural in the surroundings if there is foliage on the ground.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form f. Relative scale The size of an object or thing in relation to its surroundings. is very emotional and directly related to color. It may evoke feelings of quiet and peace of mind, as well as energy and action.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form g. High scale Promotes action. It is used to fill space around massive buildings and in huge areas. When using a large size in a tiny room, it makes the place feel smaller.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 2. Types of Form h. Low scale Is relaxing and calming. It is utilized in the home landscape to provide a sense of calm and peace of mind.  XXV. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING 3. Color Visible pattern of the design. where bright, bold hues are abundant. Red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors Secondary colors are orange, green, and violet because they are mixtures of two basic colors. Tertiary colors are the result of the combination of one main and one secondary color. Examples of common color feelings include the following Colors Color feeling Red Passion, Courage, power, wealth, motivation and fame Yellow Joy, happiness, communication, inspiration, sunshine, and optimism Blue Imagination, calm, serenity, relaxation, compassion, and reflection Green Harmony, beginnings, prosperity, nature, growth, and healing Orange Enthusiasm, joy, exuberance, interaction, fun, captivation, and sex Purple Intuition, devotion, respect, peace, spirituality, awareness, deity, and royalty White Purity, innocence, faith, benevolence, honesty, and grace Pink Love, sweetness, uplifting, happiness, tenderness and enticement The color choices work well with the landscape plot Cool colors Warm colors Less conspicuous Conspicuous Restful Cheerful Recede Stimulating Suggest distance Come forward Low scale High scale  XXV.
