🌸✨ Disney Meets Floral Design! ✨🌸
Mrs. Flegler's Floral Design class put their creativity to work in a hands-on Disney Floral Design Character Challenge — blending art, agriculture, and storytelling in one meaningful project!
Students were assigned a professional floral design type and challenged to create an arrangement inspired by a Disney character. Along the way, they practiced:
🌼 Design elements (color, line, form, texture, space)
🎯 Design principles (balance, proportion, focal point, rhythm, harmony)
🌿 Thoughtful plant selection & symbolism
✨ Creativity and craftsmanship
📝 Written reflection and self-assessment
From character-inspired color palettes to intentional flower choices, students demonstrated both technical skills and personal expression — just like real floral designers! #celebrate379
