Course Overview
Unlike Western floral arrangements which focus on formal beauty and visual impact, Oriental floral arrangement places greater emphasis on the emotions and meaning the creator imbues into the work. It expresses the artist's insights into the relationship between humans and nature. In terms of form, Oriental floral arrangement reveres nature, featuring elegance, simplicity, and a focus on graceful, concise lines and natural postures.
