Artistic Division
Schedule of Classes
“Blooms in Flight “
Class 231 FLAMINGOS: Did you know? Flamingos can rest half of their body at
one time by standing on one leg. Create an abstract arrangement that
portrays this whimsical pink silhouette. Flowers and foliage used only
for their boldness of form, color, texture or line. Material may be
manipulated by bending, stripping, knotting or tying and may be placed
upside down, sideways, hanging, and/or from many different openings.
Simplicity is essential.
Class 232 BALD EAGLES - NOVICE CLASS: Did you know? The largest bald
eagle nest on record was 9.5 feet wide and 20 feet high and weighed
more than two tons. Create a phoenix design that characterizes this
majestic bird’s rise from its nest. Open to those who have never won a
blue ribbon. Inspired from the story of the phoenix rising from the ashes
– the base of the design is rounded and compact. Flowers or branches
emerge from the center and rise to tall heights. Low containers are
suggested.
Class 233 PENGUINS: Did you know? These flightless birds can dive to a depth
of 1,870 feet and stay underwater for up to 22 minutes. Create a parallel
arrangement which depicts their ability to stand tall in extreme
temperatures. Three or more units of plant material with strong line
quality, paralleling each other with open spaces between each unit. If
multiple containers are used, they must appear to come from one base.
Class 234 PEACOCKS: Did you know? The tail feathers of the male peacock are
more than 60% of the bird’s total body length and can reach up to 5 feet.
Create a mass arrangement which depicts the brilliant hues of this regal
bird. Plant material rising from one point with a closed form and height
of 1 to 1 ½ times that of the container. The use of plant materials and
colors are important in the overall design.
Class 236 GREAT BLUE HERONS: Did you know? The 6 foot wing span of this
tall long-legged bird is the most common and largest heron in North
17
America. In the Oriental manner, create a moribana arrangement which
portrays this wading bird’s graceful shape in nature. Arrangement
emphasizes natural growth habits of plant materials and often features a
view of the water. Containers are low and shallow; plant material is
typically to one side of the container.
Class 237 GEESE: Did you know? When birds fly in a V formation, they create
uplift and the whole flock can save 70-80% of their energy, thus
increasing their flying range. Create a stabile arrangement that illustrates
the movement of these precise formations. A stationary design that
appears to move through restrained use of plant materials that express
or imply motion.
Class 238 SINGING CANARIES – CHALLENGE CLASS: Did you know? This
bright yellow bird has been kept in captivity and bred for its singing
abilities for more than 500 years. Create an interpretation of these song
birds. All entrants are provided with the same materials to create their
interpretive designs on site. Meet Saturday at 8 a.m., bring clippers and
other tools.
Class 239 BIRD HABITATS – FOR MEN ONLY: Did you know? Currently,
over 10,000 bird species inhabit the Earth. Their habitats range from the
vast deserts of the Sahara, to polar ice caps, and from lush, green tropical
rainforests, to our own backyards, rivers and bays. Equally, birds come to
us in numerous shapes, colors and sizes that continue to amuse, delight
and enrich our lives. Create your own interpretation of the perfect bird
habitat. Space allotment is 5’ wide by 5’ long by 6’ high (maximum
height). Area will be taped off for each entry. The use of tables, table
cloths and floor coverings are optional. Cards of intent should be at least
8”x10” with print that can be easily read. No silk or artificial flowers.
Living plant material may be altered as needed. As with all
arrangements, daffodils must be featured.
18
THE UGLY DUCKLING: Did you know? “The Ugly Duckling” was
first published in 1843 by Hans Christian Andersen. The story tells of a
homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from his
neighbors until, much to his delight he matures into a graceful swan.
Bring your flowers and clippers and be prepared to show your feathers in
a fun arrangement on site using the container and mechanics provided.
Arranging begins a 6:00p.m. in the side hall. Garden Club members will
be available to talk about flower arranging basics, but the final design is
up to you. Parents may not remain in the children’s work area. Pick-up
is at 7:30.
