Creativity and Competition FINAL!

So our final for class is a surprise box. surprise box you ask? well everyone here it is, everyone is given the same scenario and the same materials and vases to have to create an arrangement within an hour, being timed. Then after the final seconds come to an end 2 judges are there to critique every inch of your arrangement, the depth, color balance, line, mechanics, everything.

Tonight we had 18 students and our scenario was to create a photo op piece for E network which has a size restriction of 12"x12"x36". So if your width is 13" you're disqualified/0 for your grade :( serious stuff. We were given all of our materials and then at 6:15 we were to start designing!

fastforward to 7:15 everyones done and now we wait, the dreaded waiting. It took the judges 1:30 mins to tally the results. which by the way are out of 120, so if you get a 5, being exceeds excellence or something like that, in each category you'll get 120. Chieko walks in and announces the 3 best scores.

She announces 1st place, ME! with a total of 113 points :) nice! then Lyndsay in 2nd and a tie for 3rd with Elizabeth and Darlene. Soo happy because Chieko told us whoever won would recieve a year subscription to the floral magazine of your choice! In the bag! lol it was a lot of fun I hope I continue this for symposium :)



Quarter turn :] lol
