holiday after Christmas. It celebrates the resurrection of
Christ, and the mystery that is the basis of the Christian
faith. Acli learners have taken part to a flower
arrangement workshop devoted to Easter , creating
several flower compositions suitable to adorn and
decorate houses during the festivity.
51. The trainer Mr Gianluca Zito is preparing material to
distribute to the learners, at the same time giving information
about the names of flowers and green leaves to use .
The learners were also explained the importance of some
basic elements in the art of floristry such as texture and
colour
Texture is the physical structure of the materials you use in
your flower arrangement. The diverse surface quality of
each different material in a design creates textural interest. A
material can be rough or smooth, straight or curvy, shiny or
matte, coarse or fine. Whatever you choose you must know
when to use one material rather than another one, otherwise
it might result inappropriate .Texture is a very crucial factor
in floral designing.
Colour
Harmony of colour in the composition is an element of unity
and completeness of the composition. By using the colour
wheel as guide, it is possible achieve colour harmony in
your arrangement. You could create an analogous
arrangement, complementary colour arrangement,
monochromatic arrangement, split complementary
arrangement and triadic arrangement. Colours make flower
arranging fun and exciting. Colours give the arrangement
personality and express feelings
