With FE guys

Today, I went to Writtle college though it's summer off. I was set in to FE(further education) class to be filmed as an international student. A TV crew team was coming with British council. They wanted to film some good English collgeges.

It was not the first time to join FE class. Actually, I took part in there last year as a trail class when I was wondering if I would apply for the college.

The design was bunches with horizontal frame. I felt a bit hard as I never did that. But the final look was not too bad part from the position of focal flowers-gerbera and sun flowers.

It will be showcased for tomorrow open day.

Level 4 and 5 floristry students installed the Victoria Garden in Writtle College.

Easter arrangement

Easter themed arr

In usual college class, I made a circular arrangement with Easter accessories. The round shape means endless, which connects to the idea of Easter- the rebirth.

Materials.

 Put weaved leaves into the centre area.

I put focal flowers firstly. The ratio is 3:5:8. I feel it was mistake to put 2 groups of roses on a same line. It was better to be put slightly of the line.

Covering the foam by foliage and moss.

Beautiful pink

made a bunch

I walked around Writtle College. Just behind a tennis court, I found beautiful pink flowers. I do not know the name.

I made a bunch for a next hall, Maddison 2. The filler foliage is Hebe, of course picked them up in the campus.

Bits of berries make a lovely contrast to green foliage and black container.

Posy

Posy for wedding

I made a lovely posy in college. The design is basically for bride mades, which means it can be a little bit small.

It must be nice and secured so that it would not be ruined during wedding.

In-house competition- Easter arrangements.

At Writtle college on 26 Feb 2015, an in-house competition was hold. The theme was Easter spring. We are expected to make bouquets or arrangements with yellow and blue colours.

The competitors were Higher Education(HE) students with Level 4 and 5. I am a fist year student at level 4. Awards were given to 3 people: 1st place for 1st year, 1st place for 2nd year and a person voted by public.

Here is my work. The idea was to hang up eggs which were stuffed with snowdrops. I reckon I should have put more yellow flowers around the cage.

The theme is Easter Spring.

Spring and vegetative

Vegetative arrangement

Before a spring has come, we made a spring arrangement. Materials were really colourful with yellow and bit of blue. Twigs tell us like birth of new life.

Arrangement- Asymmetrical L shape

Asymmetrical L shape 

Visual balance is vital.

An asymmetrical L shape arrangement. To achieve not symmetrical design, visual balance must be carefully thought.

Identify Visual weight

Outline- Visual weight line=focal line

4 aqua roses makes an arched curve, which can be interpreted as a "visual weight line". The line is slightly off centre, which is showed an vertical line from the top corner.

Lines

Composition- copying the focal line

As the "visual weight line" is oriented from the top corner, it is natural to follow it in terms of composition. I made 3 lines in total. One is the visual weight line. In other word, it might be a focal line too. Second is a line with lisianthus. Final one is by carnations.
