Across
  1. 1. circular arrangement which is the same when viewed from all angles; only the top flower may differ in height
  2. 3. used to break the similarity of an arrangement
  3. 4. repeating “like” material within a composition
  4. 6. used to create a higher interest
  5. 7. enhances or adds interest to a design
  6. 8. dimension in a design achieved through the placement of materials; placing materials at different levels in a design
  7. 9. organization of components into a whole resulting in a cohesive relationship of all parts; oneness of purpose
  8. 10. amount of space a component occupies in a composition
  9. 12. total area a person can see; can be broken up by shapes and forms; positive/ negative; draws attention to a certain area; emphasize importance
  10. 15. appealing odor emanating from a specific item
  11. 18. location within a design attracting the most attention; center of interest in a design
  12. 19. striking difference between two elements
  13. 20. visual movement throughout a design; usually achieved by means of repetition
  14. 25. also called circular arrangements; do not have a focal point
  15. 26. triangle with one 90 degree angle
  16. 27. visual path the eye is drawn or attracted as it proceeds through the arrangement; curves or directional movement of the arrangement; static/ dynamic
  17. 28. area which stands out in a design
  18. 32. triangle with sides of the same length; in traditional geometry, these triangles also have angles of the same measurement
  19. 33. size of a composition in relation to its surroundings
  20. 34. circular arrangement with very closely arranged floral materials and in which all floral material is the same height
  21. 35. equality of distribution throughout an arrangement
  22. 36. basic visual qualities of a design; includes line, form, space, texture, pattern, color, size and fragrance
Down
  1. 2. contain more than one single focal point
  2. 5. visual or tactile feel of an item; surface quality; is know as pattern when enlarged
  3. 10. formal, equilateral triangular design; corresponding in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line
  4. 11. triangular pattern with a strong “L-Line;” not identical on both sides of a central line
  5. 13. relationship in units/elements within a design in shape, size, quantity and degree of emphasis
  6. 14. use of material in a composition to connect two things which are opposite; visual movement from gradual degrees of change
  7. 16. asymmetrically balanced design of few materials usually placed in groups which emphasize forms and lines
  8. 17. expressed visually through the elements and include balance, proportion, harmony, unity, dominance, rhythm and contrast
  9. 21. triangle which has two sides of the same length
  10. 22. three dimensional configuration or shape; describes the length, width and height of an object; also known as shape
  11. 23. creating contrast by using two conflicting elements; dynamic aesthetic quality which requires the skillful use of contrast; expresses action or energy; principle of contrast
  12. 24. created by repeating lines, shapes and forms; also referred to as repetition
  13. 29. area of authority in a design
  14. 30. achieved when all the elements, flowers, foliage and container, complement one another; describes tangible and intangible
  15. 31. supplies, methods and materials which designers use to place and hold flowers and foliage in an arrangement
