Common sense among pros is know-how & secret to amateurs

These arrangements are European designs that were made by our students under the directions of our instructors during real lessons in the classroom of California Flower Art Academy. You can earn a skill for making this kind of floral design by getting a training at our school. As you know there is a big difference in the arranging skill ,knowledge and also experiences between pros and amateurs. It is often said that even the top class amateurs cannot beat the second class professionals. In most cases it is true.
The floral arrangement in America is not exceptional. Especially in the United States, the difference in skill between pros and amateurs is so big. Although there are so many people who learn floral designs for a long period of time (such as 3 to 5 years and sometimes even longer period) in Japan, most people in the States do not spend a reasonable amount of money and time for learning flower arrangement. (Many people are satisfied with attending one day seminar in America). Once they start learning floral arrangement in Japan (not only floral design but also any other things), many of Japanese students keep learning for a very long period of time and they often continue it until they get a high level of certificate such as completing Advanced Course or Instructor Course.  |
Even if they have no intention of becoming an instructor, many people continue learning until reaching this stage. Quite frankly the current number of such people are smaller than before (20 to 30 years ago). However we can still find lots of people aiming at a high level of achievement.
Talking about what the title of this article means, many of professionals (or very well experienced floral artists) can easily and quickly make beautiful floral arrangements in many occasions. This cannot be done by amateurs who are just beginners or still learning flower arrangements. Designing and making a pretty high level of floral designs is no big deal for professional artists because they have a lot of experiences, know-how and skills that have been accumulated for the past long period of time. All they have to do is to utilize such know-how. Very valuable and priceless secrets already imprinted in their mind can greatly help them do a beautiful job which cannot be done by amateurs. In a sense such accumulated know-how and secrets are nothing but a COMMON SENSE to professional artists. However these are far away and extremely difficult for amateurs to obtain. Nevertheless it is quite possible to earn such high level of know how, secrets and skills through a proper way of training.  |
Of course the time needed to earn such skill is different depending on individual's inherent ability and also how diligently the make efforts.
If you are planning to be a floral artist, amateur or professional, and want to learn floral arrangements, why not take a lesson by finding a reliable floral school or instructor ?
