People Who Love P&C

I have received your emails and have enjoyed the energy given from your website. This year I want to start with a bang, and you are apart of that. I hope to encourage all of the students to take advantage of what your website offers. You are an inspiration of the possibilities in the world of design and how the sky is the limit for dreams.

Term Definition
verdure

(pronounced VER-dyur or VER-jer)

In everyday terms, this noun refers to the greenness of growing vegetation or even the vegetation itself. In the design industry, the term can also be used to describe scenes of stylized foliage and vignettes of flora containing birds and other animals. Often these scenes allow glimpses of a building (or town) in the distance, as well as a person (or people) enjoying nature. Tapestry, upholstery, wallpaper and murals lend themselves well to verdure.
