Arches as Patterns

A set of arched decorative motifs. On the wall, there are three arched color blocks arranged side by side, with a semi-circular top edge and straight sides below, extending directly to the floor or baseboard; their widths are the same, but their colors differ. These arches are not real openings but painted graphics; however, their proportions are reasonable, like a row of drawn doors. Nearby, there might be a real arched niche echoing them. Avoid: making the arches too flat or too narrow, using pointed arches and decorative keystones, making each arch a different width, making the arches into thin outlines rather than solid color blocks.

一組拱形的裝飾母題。牆上有三個並排的拱形色塊,上緣是半圓、下方是直邊,直接落到地面或踢腳;它們的寬度相同、顏色不同。這些拱不是真的開口,是漆上去的圖形;但它們的比例是合理的,像一排被畫出來的門。旁邊可能有一個真的拱形壁龕呼應。避免:讓拱的比例過扁或過瘦、使用尖拱與裝飾性的拱心石、讓每一個拱的寬度不同、把拱做成細的輪廓線而非實心色塊。
