In-Person Class: Elements and Principles of Design
January 22-26, 2023 with Sandy Schroeck AIFD, CFD, PFCI
The Elements and Principles are the building blocks of everything that is artistic. Once you understand how they work together you can begin to manipulate them to add style and technique to your design skills. This will separate you from your competitors or help you expand your knowledge as a designer. In this course, Sandy will lead you through the Elements and Principles of Design, provide a better understanding of the tools of the trade, Care and handling, backroom set up, basics of wedding/sympathy and events, with three to five projects each day. This is the most expansive course we offer and part of the requirement for your CFD national certification goal as an AIFD Education Partner.
