This does not look like a crescent type arrangement only because the photo was not taken from the right angle to appeal the shape of crescent in this case. Nevertheless it still looks beautiful. The arrangement was made at the classroom of California Flower Art Academy during a floral design lesson. Our students learn how to make crescent arrangement at Fresh Flower Arrangement Elementary Course.
If they proceed to Fresh Flower Arrangement Intermediate Course, they again learn advanced crescent arrangement in order to confirm the way of making this design and also brush up on their skill for this particular design. Of course besides the crescent arrangement, they learn a variety of floral designs at the Elementary and Intermediate Course. While many people jump to business oriented courses (such as wedding and funeral related courses) immediately after completing Fresh Flower Arrangement Elementary Course, some of very diligent and enthusiastic students proceed to the said Intermediate Course. This is the way it should be as far as the time and financial situation allow them to do so.
Getting back to the crescent type arrangement as introduced per the photo in this page, this arrangement emphasizes on the graceful beauty of linear curve created by curly elements. This way of arrangement can be often found in Japanese Ikebana. Many floral artists engaged in working on Ikebana arrangements often comment that one of reasons why they like Ikebana arrangement is that they can enjoy and create making priceless beauty of linear line formed by curly elements.
