PROBLEM FOR DECORATIVE FLOWER COMPOSITION 
No. 1. Select plant form to be used as a motif having 
a simple structure. 
No. 2. Either a circle or an oblong may be used as the 
inclosing form. 
No. 3. Select center of interest — decide location: neither 
an exact center nor one far removed; also size and treatment 
of unit. 
No. 4. Give careful attention to subordinate spots, 
their location and treatment. 
No. 5. Note spots of interest in relation to hue, notan 
and chroma. 
No. 6. The following "Golden Rules" may be observed 
in this problem as well as in others: 
a — Avoid exact center and center lines bounding the 
composition. 
b — Avoid corners and strong movement towards them. 
c — Break space strongly enough to give feeling of 
security. 
d — Fill space well — without crowding, 
e— Do not lose characteristics of plant form; empha- 
size decorative quality — not realism.
