ByKathyBramhall GardenClubteachesnot only horticulture and com- munity service, but also Flo- ral Design, both Traditional and Creative styles, this ar- ticle is about the Creative. National Garden Clubs, Inc. (NGC) first introduced Creative Design Style in the late 1950's. "Many members were studying art and ap- plying their knowledge of international art his- tory and its creative move- ments to floral designing. Primary among these in- fluences were: Impression- ism, the effect of light on objects; Fauvism, simpli- fied design in strong color; Expressionism, spirit of re- volt and self-expression; Art Nouveau, a highly decora- tive style, dedication to nat- ural forms; Art Deco, an el- egant style of decorative art characterized by angu- lar symmetrical geometric forms; Cubism, geometrical forms and fragmentations; Surrealism, the psycholog- ical aspect in art; and Ab- stractionism, with empha- sis on the non-realistic and unnatural." Today NGC Creative Flo- ral Design is an accepted art form in which creativ- ity, imagination, and orig- inality are essential. As with all art, Creative Floral Design is based and judged on the Principles of Design: Balance, Contrast, Dominance, Proportion, Rhythm, & Scale and the Elements of Design: Color, Form Light, Line, Pattern, Size, Space and Texture. Floral Judges also look at the exhibitor's Selection of Components, Organization of Components, Expression (interpretation of title), and Distinction. At our recent meeting Cascade Arrangers Guild members were challenged with the assignment of cre- ating a Synergistic Creative Design. The definition of a Synergistic Design from the Handbook for Flower Shows is: "1. A Creative De- sign of three or more units. If organized in containers, a minimum of two-thirds must contain plant ma- terial and other optional components. 2. Balance, rhythm, and harmony may be achieved through all units sharing common characteristics of colors, textures, and forms. 3. De- sign may be further uni- fied through use of a con- nectives. 4. The individual units (containers) should not appear as completed designs in themselves, but when all units are com- bined they create a com- pleted and artistic whole, for the definition of "Syn- ergism" is "The art of two or more units necessary to achieve an effect of which each is individually inca- pable." My 60 year old dic- tionary defines synergism as the joint action of differ- ent substances in produc- ing an effect greater than the sum of the effects of all the substances acting together. Synergism trans- lates from the Greek syner- gos working together. I've included pictures of four designs from our Cas- cade Arrangers Guild meet- ing. Each design is worthy of a first place ribbon. Re- member, it is not too early to be thinking about your de- sign entries for the Tehama District Fair coming in Sep- tember. I invite readers to visit our monthly meetings to see what we do. Meetings are the first Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. We meet at the Neighborhood Church, 4684 Rhonda Road in An- derson. RedBluffGardenClub is a private non-profit organization, affiliated with National Garden Clubs, Inc.; Pacific Region; California Garden Clubs, Inc.; and Cascade District. We meet the last Tuesday at 12889 Baker Road, Red Bluff. Visitors are welcome. RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Creativefloraldesign CONTRIBUTEDPHOTO Synergistic Design is by Erlyne Owens: Glass containers with daffodils with manipulated foliage as line material and connectors. The state highway com- mission has definitely de- cided on the routes for the four northern mountain laterals, and by June 1st, convict camps will be en- gaged in several of the Su- perior California counties improving the worst por- tions of the laterals. This important an- nouncement was made in a letter today forwarded to Dudley V. Sneltzer, presi- dent of the Northern Cal- ifornia Counties' Associa- tion, by the Highway Com- mission. The Commission has also instructed its engi- neer to have made as soon as possible the surveys of the four laterals. The convicts have proved a solution to the road work puzzle made difficult owing to the lack of funds. These prisoners can be installed in camps at a low cost and permit the Highway Commission to do work that otherwise would be impossible. — March 10, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
