NCFLOCS053 — Mastering the S-Curve in Flora
Mastering the S Curve in Floral Arrangements Crescent and Hogarth Curve. Cost: $225.00. Registration closes 7 days prior to class date so that materials can be ordered. Inspired by the crescent shape of the moon and the elegant curves of the female body, these florals are very creative artistic designs. The class will begin with the history and inspiration behind the design and the origins of the Hogarth Curve, inspired by 18th-century artist William Hogarth's "Line of Beauty." How this S-curve creates elegance, movement, and flow in floral arrangements will be reviewed. High-end events, formal settings, and artistic floral displays are great settings for this elegant design. Establishing balance with a sturdy container and initial floral placements are the foundation followed by shaping the S-curve by layering flowers and greenery to define the curve's movement. Placing flowers strategically to draw the eye along the curve is essential along with negative space for an airy, elegant feel. Final touches including adding texture, contrast, and depth with secondary flowers and elements.
