Learning Objectives

Notes

10.1
To identify the four flower and foliage classifications. (CCT)

Have the students distinguish between the following materials: line, form, mass and filler. Then determine the size and shape of the arrangement by using any combination of the four materials listed.

Give examples of the four classifications that would best suit a particular season. Enhance the aspects of the colour combinations by using the colour spectrum.

10.2
To establish three-dimensional arrangements and compositions.

In making a decision about the design that they will be developing have students discuss:

• aspects of height, width and depth.

• where the floral composition will be used

• the viewing distance of the arrangement.

Using all available resources, identify locations where floral compositions might be desirable and undesirable.

10.3
To understand and demonstrate the basic principles involved in floral design.

Explain the role and responsibility of balance, proportion, rhythm and dominance.

Develop styles of design that include symmetrical and asymmetrical balance.

Demonstrate symmetrical styles of design that include repetition of line.

Develop dominance by using an idea or theme, a special design or style, a sense of movement or a center of interest.
