The enchanting era of Art Nouveau was known for its organic shapes that work together to create vibrant, asymmetric designs—which we’ll explore during this floral design experience focused on the historical era.
Delve into the history of Art Nouveau design, its artists, and botanical influences as you incorporate asymmetry, movement, and sinuous lines into your own floral compositions. Create a stunning design using the Art Nouveau aesthetic, incorporating nature-inspired winding forms and decorative wire enhanced accents.
