What is the rule of thirds in photography? In using color in decorating, I
was taught that a room should have three colors. One color, being 2/3's,
the second 1/3, and a touch of the third.
In floral arrangement, the proportion between container and flowers is in
thirds. The tallest piece should be at least 1 1/2 times the height (or
width, as the case may be) of the container.
Japanese floral arranging is a lesson on life. Each incorporates the rule
of three - heaven, man, and earth. Also, you never use an even number of
flowers - always an odd number.
Maybe its is just that I like triangles as opposed to squares and circles.
