A Study on Braid Hair Design with Flower Motivation representing the Four Seasons
Hair design expresses an individual's individuality and identity, and is one of the artistic expressions that reflect the trend of the times and aesthetic sense. Among the countless motifs of nature, flowers, one of the beautiful and artistic materials, give humans a sense of stability and visual pleasure. Flowers have symbolic meanings in both form and four seasons, so they are expressed as motifs that enable visual and emotional communication.
Braid hair can try various styles, and it can be seen that it has a strong characteristic of creative sense and originality in which artistic value is exhibited.
This study expressed flowers representing the four seasons as motifs, focusing on the expression technique of braid hair and other techniques, and researched and produced 3 works in spring flowers, 2 works in summer flowers, 2 works in autumn flowers, and 1 work i winter flowers using other techniques of braid hair and upstyle.
Art I expresses a work in which petals are shaped with forsythia as a motif, and the calm and beauty of forsythia bloom are used alternately in symmetry balance, repetition of loop and three-stranded braids, and mixed texture of activation and unactivation.
With cherry blossoms as a motif, Art II expresses a work in which the texture of activation and unactivation contrasts with the repetitive techniques of three-stranded braids, cornrows, and loops, shaping the petals of cherry blossoms in full bloom on cherry trees.
With magnolia as a motif, Work III expresses a work in which the unactivated mash and activated three-stranded braids that can represent the elegance of magnolia are repeated and contrasted.
With the motif of hydrangeas, Work IV attempted to represent the form of rich hydrangeas gathered in one place. The beauty of the hydrangeas with an asymmetric balance was expressed by using a loop technique that is repeated with three braids on the frontal part and the occipital part and progresses gradually downward.
Work V expresses the sunflower with the longest stem with a sunflower motif. The overall shape is emphasized by shaping the petals of sunflowers with braids on the crown and expressing waves on the occipital part.
The Ⅵ of the work is a motif of chrysanthemums, and it shows a form that can emphasize the petals of chrysanthemums on the occipital part to express elegant works.
The Ⅶ of the work forms the petals of cosmos with cosmos as a motif, and as it progresses to the occipital region, the elements of the technique are repeated, and the work emphasizing beauty is expressed. With camellia flowers as a motif, the Ⅷ expresses the petals of camellia flowers with mash expression and three-stranded braids, and expresses the fascinating and feminine atmosphere that contrasts with activation and unactivation.
This study reconstructed the shape of the petals of each flower by producing a braid hair work with a motif representing the four seasons, minimizing the realistic aspect and inducing the imagination of the researcher's work. As a result of producing the design of the work by deriving a motif from a flower, one of nature, it was expressed as a work design reflecting the morphological and formative image of the motif.
Flowers have symbolic meanings in both form and four seasons, so they are expressed as motifs, and we hope that design research on braid will continue based on the results of this study of braid hair with a motif of "flowers.“
