2.  Wire different types of flowers using a variety of wiring techniques.
3.  Design an "L-shaped" and a crescent arrangement.
4.  Create and design an inverted "T" line arrangement, utilizing negative
space.
5.  Design an arrangement using only foliage (include at least 6 kinds of
foliage).
6.  Design a tall vase arrangement, using a tall vase, greens for the pack
to work in (no foam); create an easy flowing round shape arrangement using

as a midterm project.
11. Final project: in class, create an arrangement entirely of foliage,
demonstrating use of a variety of textures.  Present to class.
12. Portfolio: photos of weekly design projects with accompanying journal
entries listing materials and describing methods for each project.
