Janowitz, of Milton, another culinary arts and systems student.Students in Karen R. Ruhl's Art of Floral Design class proudly displayed their final projects at the Schneebeli Earth Science Center this past week. The students – most of them culinary students, with the exception of a dental hygiene major – chose a design style in consultation with their instructor, an award-winning Penn College alumna and owner of Special Occasion Florals in Williamsport. "These kids are great and most of them have never had any floral experience. This class allows students to be safe in expressing themselves in a new art form, and they learn a skill they can use forever," Ruhl said. "Floral art is a different kind of outlet for most people and, as you can see, with a little basic understanding of elements and principles, one can create a beautiful work of art."
