Dr. Thomas R. Hester served as Principal Investigator, and Fred Valdez Jr. served as Project Archaeologist. The goal of the investigation was to excavate a portion of the cistern to determine its age and architecture and to analyze a sample of the artifacts within the structure. Two meters of fill from the southeast quadrant were excavated in arbitrary levels controlled by a datum located in the cistern. Over 2,000 artifacts including glass, metal, ceramics, optical materials, and faunal bone were recovered during excavations.

  • Introduction
    State Center Community College District Career Technical Education Charrette / January 28, 2016 Environmental Scan and Planning Report Introduction Strategic planning has been a major component of the State Center Community College District (SCCCD) for 35 years. As a result of this comprehensive process, SCCCD has continued to grow and improve the programs and services offered to 50,000 students throughout the Central San Joaquin Valley. Strategic planning efforts have been instrumental in the establishment of the Madera and Oakhurst Centers, along with the recent accreditation of Clovis Community College. As described in the 2012-2016 Strategic Plan, new and expanded academic and career technical education (CTE) facilities, programs and services at Fresno City College and Reedley College have also been developed as part of the strategic planning process. The district is now in the process of reviewing the existing Strategic Plan mission, vision, values, and goals and objectives as the first step in developing a new 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. Once the district plan is complete, the colleges will develop individual strategic plans directly aligned with the SCCCD Strategic Plan. In addition to reviewing the existing Strategic Plan, the SCCCD is conducting a parallel review of four Career Technical Education Career Pathways along with emerging trends, including Dual Enrollment. The purpose of this report is to provide the reader with data and findings relative to the four Career Technical Education areas and Dual Enrollment trends in order to identify strategies for future development. The organization and structure upon which recommendations for future planning are developed involves a process called a “charrette” which brings together internal and external experts via a community summit so that a great deal of valuable information can be captured and shared in a brief amount of time.

  • The AIFD Education Experience
    The American Institute of Floral Designers presents The AIFD Education Experience THE AIFD CONNECTION The Parallel Experience 1 The Parallel Experience Floral design styles have been evolving for millennia, ever since man first began to place plant materials together into pleasing arrangements. Civilizations throughout history have all contributed to the styles that we see today, and just like every other medium of artistic expression, floral design continually changes in response to social customs, political climate, economic conditions, fashion trends, mechanical innovations and creative inspiration. Fads may come and go while classic styles retain their timeless appeal, but the elements and principles of design are always in operation. The practice of ikebana contributed some of the first formalized guidelines for arranging flowers and many of our present-day ideas about floral design, such as balance, proportion and radiation had their beginning in the Buddhist temples of 15th century Japan. Parallel Systems Design Parallel Systems design is a composition utilizing parallel stem placement in which groupings of stems are placed in the same direction as each other and always the same distance apart from end to end. Negative space exists between the groups. There are no major components that have radiating lines; however there may be some basing involved with slight radial stem placement. Parallel system designs are usually vertical, but can also be arranged horizontally or diagonally. The distinctive qualities of a parallel systems design are the following: • Parallel stem placement • Groupings • Negative space • Basing techniques CREATIVE PROCESS SEQUENCE When creating a parallel or new convention design there is a sequential process to consider when starting the development of the design.

  • Trendy Floral Arrangements
    Trendy Floral Arrangements 2020 is just around the corner and trend watchers are highlighting some exciting opportunities in floral design. From fun floral fashion trends to fabulous interior floralscapes, 2020 is shaping up to be a colorful and creative year! Letʼs take a look at some of the newest flower industry trends. “Weʼre seeing the floral-ization of everything,” says Liat Shemer, global marketing manager for Danziger . “Weʼre seeing handbags and headbands, even toys and functional home décor being transformed with the use of flowers. Itʼs an exciting time for floral design.” Topping everyoneʼs latest floral trends list is hot new colors. According to the Color Marketing Group, key colors for 2020 and beyond will be influenced by earth tones. The group, a leading international association of color design professionals, predicts each area of the world will have a key color that will connect us to each other and to nature. For Asia Pacific, the color is “Seed of Life.” Described as a “base color from which others can grow,” Seed of Life is described as a warm, neutral beige that adds a sense of calm and allows the viewer to return to their roots. The European forecast key color is “Feel Real.” This earth- inspired brown with pink undertones, adds a grounding effect that is visually engaging and activates our senses. The groupʼs pick for North America is “Electrum.” Described as a complex green influenced by gold, “Electrum” symbolizes complexity and connects us better to the planet. The Pantone Color Instituteʼs color of the year for 2020 may be drawing from nature as well.

  • Chapter 2 Design Elements and Principles
    Chapter 2 Design Elements and Principles The following TEKS will be addressed in this chapter: (1) The student identifies design principles and techniques in floral art and interiorscapes. The student is expected to: (C) Identify design elements and principles (2) The student demonstrates floral design principles and techniques. The student is expected to: (A) understand and implement the design process through the medium of floral materials; (B) evaluate and prepare geometric floral designs using cut flowers; (C) evaluate and prepare geometric floral designs using silk flowers; (D) prepare corsages and boutonnieres; and (E) prepare floral designs for specific occasions. (1C) Identify design elements and principles This could very well be the most important TEK. It is the foundation of all that you will do in your class. Principles are the guiding constants that allow floral designs to be pleasing to the eye. Elements are how the principles are achieved. To learn these concepts students must "see" them both physically and mentally. It is important to show students the principles and elements in things other than floral design. Because these principles and elements are the same for the full art world, it may be a good idea to show students the principles and elements in well known art, magazine ads, clothing, etc., and once they have an understanding, they can apply these principles and elements to floral design. Color is an exceedingly important element of design and should be treated almost separately. Floral Design is based on fundamental principles which are applicable to all forms of art. These principles are the guidelines for the construction of flower arrangements, and no floral artist can excel until they have mastered them.

  • Floral Design Duo Putnam & Putnam Think Outside The
    WILD HEARTS FLORAL DESIGN DUO PUTNAM & PUTNAM THINK OUTSIDE THE VASE TO CREATE ROMANTICALLY UNREFINED ARRANGEMENTS FOR NEW YORK’S STYLISH SET. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCET / PHOTOGRAPHY BY EVAN SUNG 318 / LUXESOURCE.COM Putnam & Putnam sprung from Darroch Putnam (shown, right) posting images of his husband Michael’s personal creations on social media. Here, Michael uses sweet pea, lilac, plum foliage, ranunculus, Queen Anne’s lace and coneflower to create one of his high- demand floral designs. ichael and Darroch Putnam are partners in every sense of the word, and a quick conversation with the duo behind their namesake floral design brand M reveals all the charming nuances that come with a long-term relationship—they actually finish each other’s sentences. “We truly influence one another,” says Darroch. “We push each other creatively, and more importantly, we ensure each other’s sanity.” Entering the world of ranunculus and roses, especially professionally, was not part of the Putnams’ plan—well not at first anyway. After meeting—and falling in love—at a Trader Joe’s in Los Angeles, the pair moved to New York City, got married and Putnam & Putnam soon began to blossom. “I wanted to try something diferent and more tactile,” shares Michael, who at the time was on staf at Kravitz Design but spent his weekends at the flower market on 28th Street. He began to artfully arrange his findings in their admittedly tiny one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Darroch photographed the unexpectedly poetic compositions and shared them on Michael’s personal Instagram feed.

  • Tournament of Roses by Kim Oldis AIFD, CFD, AIFD Past President
    Bi-Monthly Newsletter of the February/March 2019 American Institute of Floral Designers Tournament of Roses By Kim Oldis AIFD, CFD, AIFD Past President The Tournament of Roses is one of the most spectacular floral events in the world, witnessed by 700,000 guests and 70+ million national and international viewers via TV and media. There is nothing else like it! For me, The Tournament of Roses Parade (and the Rose Bowl Football Game) is a family tradition as far back as I can remember. I love New Year's Day because of it! My first experience with the Rose Parade in 2005 fulfilled my original goal, just to be able to “work” as a volunteer! For the next 6 years – gaining float design experience, confidence in designing for the Judges and TV cameras, and ultimately knowing that at the end of the day, regardless of the freezing cold, lack of sleep and sore feet, the labor of love that was shared with the floral world was worth it. And to think that maybe the next year I might get invited back! How lucky could one be! One of the bonuses of the Tournament of Roses Parade is the lifelong friendships that are made. Working with my fellow AIFD members, reacquainting with the repeat, on-site parade volunteers, meeting the incredible team of Tournament volunteers that make up the infrastructure of this organization, these are the people who give their support to this truly unique event. It’s ALL for the love of this historic FLORAL parade. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought that an invitation to judge the Rose Parade was in my future.
