Fashion Design Semester Course (n.2)

Monday
I spent my weekend in Cinque Terre! it was beautiful. I went on marvelous hikes and ate too much ice cream. On my way back to Florence I stopped in Pisa to take a picture of the leaning tower.
Monday in class I continued practicing the basic fashion figure. It takes a lot of practice to get used to the “fashion style” of drawing. I am excited to move on to new work but, I understand that it is important to perfect the fundamentals first.

Tuesday
Today I did research about potential ideas for mood boards and looks that I want to create. I organized my fashion board in my Pinterest app and created 3 potential idea boards.
After I had a clear idea I selected a few of my favorite images and printed these out as inspiration. I started personalizing my basic fashion figure. In the afternoon me and my classmates went to the art supply shop to purchase materials.

Wednesday
Today I spent most of my morning home doing practice sketches and learning Italian. I also did preparation for the basic lesson. In today’s basic lesson we learned about Michaelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. I love art history. It enriches your knowledge about art and gives you better fundamentals when you start working on your own art works.

Thursday
Practice makes perfect and therefor I did more basic figures. After I was happy with my basic figure I designed 2 outfits and practiced to draw them in pencil and in markers. I am going to buy a few colored markers to add a bit more dimension to my next sketches ! I am excited for tomorrows art visit and to explore the Florence Jazz festival this weekend with my friends !
