  2. This is the actual stability of plant materials within the container.

  3. What is physical balance

  4. This is referred to as informal design and is present when a design has unequal material placements and weight on each side of its axis.

  5. What is asymmetrical balance

  6. This is the technique of placing dominant plant material along a design’s central vertical axis.

  7. What is centering

  8. This is a flower’s perceived lightness or heaviness based on its color, shape, and pattern.

  9. What is visual weight

  10. This means balancing plant materials on one side of a design with visually equal materials on the opposite side.

  11. What is counter balancing

  12. This are rules and guidelines used by the floral designer to create a beautiful composition.

  13. What are principles of design

  14. This minor principle is the smooth gradual change from one material or element to another.

  15. What is transition

  16. This major principle is the pleasing relationship between size and shape among objects and parts of objects

  17. What is proportion

  18. Name two major design principles

  19. What are proportion, balance, rhythm, and dominance

  20. Name two minor design principles

  21. What are radiation, repetition, transition, variation, focal point, and contrast

  22. Proportion involves the concept that the design be suitable for and in harmony with this

  23. What is its location

  24. The height of an arrangement should be how many times the height of its container’s greatest dimension.

  25. What is 1½ times

  26. This is a primary factor in determining appropriate height.

  27. What is the container

  28. What are two aspects need to be considered in determining proper height?

  29. What are 1. Physical dimensions of the container 2. Its color 3. Its material and texture 4. Its shape

  30. The design must be in proportion to where it is going to be displayed. This would be a display area

  31. What is a room, a table, or in certain cases a person wearing it.

  33. What is radiation

  34. The design element used to create unity in work

  35. What is repetition

  36. This is the use of a diverse assortment of materials

  37. What is variation

  38. This design element describes objects that have striking differences beyond mere variety or diversity, taking variety to a higher degree.

  39. What is contrast

  40. This design element is the smooth and gradual change from one material to another. Lighter flowers near the container edge blend into the heavier ones near the center.

  41. What is transition

  42. This means that one design element is more prevalent or noticeable, thereby capturing interest of the viewer.

  43. What is dominance

  44. This is known as the center of interest of the design, visually tying it together.

  45. What is a focal point

  46. These are two ways dominance can be achieved

  47. 1. Using dominant plant material 2. Using an emphasized design element 3. Using a distinct style of design 4. Using a theme 5. Using a focal point
