ADVANCED FLORAL DESIGN
Ms. Ricketts
DAWSON HIGH SCHOOL
RM 2812
6th period conference
COURSE DESCRIPTION: In this course, students build on the knowledge from the Floral Design course and are introduced to more advanced floral design concepts, with an emphasis on specialty designs and specific occasion planning. This course focuses on building skills in advanced floral design and providing students with a thorough understanding of the design elements and planning techniques used to produce unique specialty floral designs that support the goals and objectives of a specific occasion or event. Through the analysis and evaluation of various occasion and event types, students explore the design needs and expectations of clients and propose and evaluate appropriate creations. From conception to evaluation, students are challenged to create and design appropriate specialty floral designs that meet the needs of the client. Furthermore, an emphasis on budgetary adherence and entrepreneurship equips students with many of the necessary skills needed for success in floral enterprises.
Students are exposed to aspects of occasion-specific design through the Floral Design course, but there is not an advanced course to help students enrich and enhance their skills and interest in specialty designs or design planning for specific occasions and events. Freelance floral design for occasions and events is part of a $30 billion industry and is especially in-demand across the state of Texas. The goal of this course is to provide students with advanced-level floral design knowledge, skills, and experiences that can transition to floral design careers and advancement in the floral design industry.
