Our focus for this class will be on realistic landscape which uses the basis of the ‘Moribana’ arrangement. Realistic landscape is a seasonal design close to nature. You will get to know about the key elements, variations and skills required to create a beautiful arrangement in this style. The school lays down a set of materials which must be used in a set way to form different landscapes. The materials required for this course are specific due to the strict nature of the requirements for this design. We will look at the main components and skills required to create an authentic arrangement in both realistic and traditional style.
