  3. Design Materials • The Four Basic Types of Design Materials are…. • Line Flowers • Mass Flowers • Form Flowers • Filler Flowers

  4. Line Flowers • Tall spike of flowers with florets blooming along the stem. • Create the outline for an arrangement & establish the height and width as well as curvilinear lines. • Examples: • Snapdragons • Gladiolus • Liatris

  6. Mass Flowers • Have the flower head on the terminal end of the stem. • Draw attention to the focal point and add mass and weight to the arrangement. • Cover the floral form and help fill empty areas with flowers. • Examples: • Carnations • Roses • Chrysanthemums
