Answer #1 Usually for a collage you can just use whatever pictures you want. For college,
need to do some research. TRADITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS: Traditional designs of
flower arrangements are those handed down from a previous generation and are
considered to be, to a greater extent, decorative rather than interpretive,
although there will be some element of the interpretive since one is executing
the design today. These arrangements appeal to the senses; to sight, touch, and
smell. Visually they emphasize natural lines of growth and the aesthetic
qualities of color, form, and texture. Traditional designs stress smooth
transitions and harmonious relationships in which similarities predominate over
differences. Graceful rhythm is favored over forceful or conflicting movement;
lines converge in a strong center of interest. Forms progress logically in size,
colors are graded, and materials are consistent in character. The three
classifications of traditional designs are Line, Line-mass and Mass.Traditional
Line DesignTraditional designs trace their beginnings to various European
Periods. These European Periods include: Classical Greek and Roman (600 B.C. to
325 A.D.), Italian Renaissance (14th through 16th centuries), Dutch and Flemish
(17th and 18th centuries), French (17th and 18th centuries), Georgian (18th and
early 19th centuries), and Victorian (19th century). European styles of flower
arrangement had certain similar characteristics. All were predominantly Mass
designs in form, with quantities of garden flowers used for texture, color and
form. Containers were characteristic of the period.GEORGIAN: Designs were
symmetrical, usually triangular, elegant and formal. Plant material of only one
type was often used, and might be of one color with its variations.1. Early
Georgian (1714 - 1760): These designs were influenced by the Chinese and Italian
Baroque, which employed rich, warm colors and heavy urns of metal or marble.2.
Late Georgian (1760) - 1820): Designs of the period reflected the influence of
the french Rococo in the use of more delicate plant materials and colors.
Victorian, (1820 - 1901): The use of flowers was dictated by Queen Victoria
during her reign. General characteristics of these designs were similar
throughout the Victorian period. Early Victorian designs showed a French
influence. About 1850, Victorian designs portrayed the coming into power and
wealth of the middle classes. Little restraint was shown and designs were
overdone with flowers tightly massed losing their beauty of individual blooms. - answered by dcomputerman
