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