HOLLOW - DINING HALL FLORALS / COLOR WHEEL CHALLENGE - RED From 7:00 - 9:45pm units are challenged to work together to design and create 5 floral center pieces in Mason Jars composed of handmade paper flowers (tissue paper, craft paper, tape, glue, pipe cleaners, scissors, etc. - supplies provided) according to the color theme challenge assigned to your particular unit. You can use anything you have with you in addition to what is in the kit. You are the floral artists! Craft together and get creative! Two people can make leaves, while two others make stems, 5 make flowers, and 3 others arrange them into Mason Jars. (Yes, you can decorate the jars if you want to.) All 6 units will bring their finished creations to breakfast Saturday morning and decorate the tables for the weekend. Community art!

Each unit shall produce one floral arrangement from each of the four below color schemes:

#1 Monochromatic Color Scheme use varying shades of RED from the palest pink to the deepest red, even into maroon. This arrangement shows off variations of the hue.

Use the Color Wheel in your kit to look at variations on a hue.

# 2 Analogous Color Scheme - find RED on the color wheel. An analogous color scheme is typically comprised of three colors that fall next to each other on the color wheel: the first is the dominant color, the second is the supporting color, and the third serves as an accent. Which 3 colors will you work with?

#3 Complementary Color Scheme colors directly across from one another on the color wheel. These colors are highly contrasting and can make your design boldly stand out with high contrast. However, if used improperly, they can be very visually jarring.

#4 Triadic Color Scheme - A triadic color scheme is comprised of three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel. The two most basic triadic palettes are the primary colors red, blue, and yellow, and the secondary hues orange, purple, and green.

Generally speaking, when using complementary colors, you do not want to use them equally in your design. Pick RED as your main color, then use the complementary color to highlight and make certain important items stand out.

Use RED as your main color, using blue and yellow as your accents.

The 5th floral arrangement is FREE FORM / OPEN DESIGN - Any colors, any style.
