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