Floral Design

So, as you guys know, I'm taking this class floral design. I'm taking it to meet an area 6 credit. This is one of my favorite classes this semester. Yeah, we have some work that we do aka reading and a few homework assignments.

I know, you guys are probably thinking, what do you possibly do in that class?

Well, let me tell you.

We have two lectures per week. Right now we are being lectured on the industry such as who are some top importers, exporters and such. We just got done lecturing about different mechanics (like cutting tools, containers, adhesive tools, and floral support) to use. Now, that may seem a little boring to some, but it's part of the curriculum that one must learn. We already learned about the elements, principles, and history or floral design.

And, the homework assignments are terrible. They aren't super easy, but they aren't hard. This class isn't a super easy A, you definitely have to put a little effort into it--just like any other class.

But, the reason why I really enjoy this class is because of the floral design labs that we do. Once a week, we create a floral design that we get to take home. (: The flowers last up to 2 weeks; so, that means I get to enjoy looking at the design for two weeks.(: In our labs, the teacher gives us a demonstration of what design we are making--but, we've gotten to the point where he doesn't need to do that anymore, he just tells us what our design goal is--, then we make the design while listening to some good old classic rock. After we make our design, we record the materials, likes/dislikes, personal reviews, ta reviews,and peer reviews in out lab journal along with pictures of our design. I, personally, think it's really nice to end my Monday with making a nice arrangement while listening to some good classics.

Well, I got to go get ready to go to my floral design lab. This week we are doing vase arrangements.

What are some of your favorite classes???
