How long does it take to complete Elementary Course ?

 

All floral arrangements were designed and made by our students under the directions of our instructor during real lessons in the classroom of California Flower Art Academy. Upper one is European arrangement (vertical arrangement) and the lower one is Ikebana  that is called "Moribana" arrangement. The title of this page asks "How long does it take to complete elementary course ?". Quite frankly it depends on how many times you can take lessons and also how skillful you are. We can reply as follows:

A. Fresh Flower Arrangement Elementary Course (learning European arrangement):
This course consists of 12 designs. Students usually learn 2 designs per session that lasts about 2.5 hours. If you can attend a class only once a week, it will take 6 weeks to complete the course. If you can take lessons twice a week, you can complete it in 3 weeks. If you can take lessons three times a week, you can complete in 2 weeks.

B. Ikebana Arrangement Elementary Course (learning Japanese traditional floral art):
This course consists of 7 designs. Students usually learn 2 designs per session that lasts about 2.5 hours. If you can attend a class only once a week, it will take 4 weeks to complete this course. If you can attend twice a week, you can complete the course in 2 weeks. 

REMARKS: Due to our small size classroom limiting number of students to more than 4 per class/instructor, each student can establish his/her own lesson schedule. For details please SEE HERE. 

California Flower Art Academy offers a Wide Range of Programs from beginner to professional levels, wedding to funeral decorations. For those with no experience in floral designs, we recommend Introductory Trial Budget Program (for European arrangement) or Ikebana Short Seminar Program (for Japanese floral art)
