The Art of Floral Design
Elective for those who wish to develop an appreciation of the history and art of floral design, and an appreciation and the application of the basic design principles used in many other forms of artistic expression and artistically enhanced professions. The course will cover the study of floral design dating back to the 10th Century BC in early Chinese and Egyptian civilizations, through the development of European civilizations, to the modern era and the use of floral art currently in Japan, Europe, United States, and throughout the world. The students will explore, through a hands-on study in floral design techniques, the use and application of such important basic elements of design as: color, texture, balance, scale, rhythm, unity, and proportion. The students will also explore the psychological impact of flowers and plants, not only on that of the individual, but also on society as a whole. 3 Credits (2 Lecture - 3 Lab)
