Ikebana Class

The “plant lady”, as Sally Haskett is known to the students in the Eating Disorders and Partial Hospital School programs, led the students in Ms. Plow’s class in the geometry of Japanese flower arranging known as Ikebana.  Students were taught various elements of the art form, which involves placing vertical and horizontal  components such as rocks, flowering stems at different angles to achieve a harmonious composition.  Students used rulers protractors to help them achieve the desired result.
