Today I showed Prof. Veronica my bag sketches that I have developed from last week session. She suggested me some ideas to create more bag shapes and how can I make these shapes and lines into the design and how to add functions to the bags. She also taught me how to do proper sketching. What tools should I use. We talked about how to create a collection for daily use or special items for capsule collection.

Basic lesson class: Storia dell’arte del Rinascimento
Today Prof. Barbara talked about Renaissance artists and their works that related to Florence. We have learned about Michelangelo Buonarrotti, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Rafaello Sanzio di Urbino, Leonardo Da Vinci. It was an interesting class.

I have developed 4 bag designs this week with details on the sketches. Prof. Veronica advised me that I should consider which direction to go toward what I want. At the moment it seems like my designs divided into 2 styles and how to make them look more cohesive as a whole collection. She also suggested some Italian brands that I could take a look as references. We discussed about the design solution and sizing for each bag, how to make them more practical and have variety ways of use.
