高校を卒業後、語学と美術を学ぶ為にイタリアへ来ました。初めの半年間はシエナの語学専門学校に通いながらグラフィックデザインを学べる学校を探し、一度帰国をした後にアカデミアリアチへの入学を決めました。今までは絵画を中心に制作活動をしていたので、ルネッサンス期の芸術作品が溢れるフィレンツェでの生活はとても勉強になります。これまで培ってきた経験を生かし、今回は新たにグラフィックデザインについて学びを深めていきたいです。

I came to Italy right after I graduated from high school to study Italian language and art. I spent my first 6 months in Siena to study at an Italian language school. While I was there, I looked for a good school for graphic design. I went back to Japan once and decided to enroll Accademia Riaci. Because my main art field had always been painting & drawing, I have been learning a lot from the life in Florence surrounded by full of artworks from the Renaissance era. I look forward to learn further more about graphic design based on my past experience.

Graphic Design 2-One Year Course 2017

グラフィックコースの担当教授であるヴェロニカ先生から指導を受けて数日経ちました。
引き続きロゴの制作にあたっていると、以前より明らかに自分の作風が変わっている事に気が付きました。少しずつではありますが、段々と授業にも慣れ、作業も進んでいると自覚する事が出来、とても充実しています。

A few days passed by since Prof. Veronica gave us her advices.
As I kept working on my logos, I noticed the obvious change in my design style. Although little by little, I am getting used to the lectures and starting to recognize the progress in my work, which makes me very satisfied.

ロゴデザインの中に自ら作成したデザインを入れながらまとめていきます。
途中、文字の組み合わせを考えながら大きさを変え、ロゴに適しているか繰り返し確認をしていきます。この時、小さなサイズでも文字がきちんと読み取れるかが最も重要とされるそうです。

I put my name design into the logos to get them all together.
I kept adjusting the size of letters trying to find the best balance as a logo. The professor told us the most important point in this process was to make the letters legible even when made smaller.

ベーシックレッスンの絵画授業はこの日が最後となりました。
「筆はペンとは違うの!腕全体を使って描くのよ!」と、アドバイスを受けながら何とか一枚を完成させました。
たった2回のレッスンではありましたが、初心に帰った気持ちで様々な技法を学ぶ事が出来ました。

It was my last day for the drawing basic lesson.
“Drawing brushes are not pens! Use your whole arm!” With such advices I somehow completed this drawing.
There were only 2 basic lessons, but they sure helped me go back to the basic so I could learn various drawing techniques.

毎週金曜日にはART VISITがあります。ここではフィレンツェにある様々な芸術作品を鑑賞しました。初回では街の顔とも言える大聖堂(Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore)を見学しました。見学中はバーバラ先生から大聖堂の説明がされ、街中を歩いている最中にもその通りの歴史や成り立ちについての説明がされました。

Every Friday we have an Art Visit. In this field trip, I get to enjoy various artworks in Florence. Our first Art Visit was the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore), the symbol of this city. During the Visit, Prof. Barbara acted as a guide explaining about the Duomo and other landmarks in the city and their historical backgrounds as we stroll around Florence.

大聖堂天蓋にはジョルジョ・ヴァザーリ及びフェデリコ・ツッカリが指揮をとってフィレンツェの芸術家達と制作した「最後の審判」が描かれていました。
この「最後の審判」ですが、よく見ると聖人の方々と並んでパレットを持ったフェデリコさんが描かれています。
作品自体は旧約聖書を題材とした宗教画ですが、作者の存在を知ると何だか微笑ましく見えてきました。

On the ceiling of the Duomo, there is a drawing of “Last Judgment” by Florentine artists directed by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari. If you look at this “Last Judgment” closely, you can find Federico Zuccari holding a booklet and queuing up in a line drawn.
This is a religious drawing based on the Old Testament that I was not familiar with, but this creator’s humor made this drawing much more familiar to me than before.

イタリアに来て早3ヶ月が経ち、いよいよ新しいフラットに引越しをする日がやって来ました。
これまで生活して来たアパートでは色々な国籍の方と共同生活をし、楽しい毎日を過ごす事が出来ました。新しいフラットではイタリア人の方と可愛い猫ちゃんとの共同生活が始まります。

It’s already been 3 months since I came to Italy, and today I am moving to a new flat.
I enjoyed my days living with many students from various countries in my old flat. In the new flat, I will be living with an Italian lady and her pretty cat.

新しいお家は以前よりも中心街から近いので、徒歩で学校に通う事が出来ます。
暫く歩いたところに公園やスーパーなどもあり、とても暮らしやすい環境が整っていました。
学校から帰ると、家猫のテクノちゃんが迎えてくれます。

This new flat is closer to the city center compared to the old flat, so I can even walk to school. Also in a walking distance there are parks and supermarkets, which certainly will make my life easy.
Techno, the cat, waits for me everyday when I come home from school.

休日は近くの公園までお散歩をしに行きました。
この日は天気もよく、日があったのでとても暖かい気候でした。
こうした日は、地元の方が公園に集まっておしゃべりをする姿がよく見られます。

On the weekend, I took a walk to a park nearby.
It was such a beautiful day with the sun warming up the air.
On days like this, local people gather at a park like this and enjoy chatting.

毎週日曜日に開かれるお食事会です。皆さんでお料理を囲みながら色々なお話をします。
それぞれコースが違うので、他のレッスンの話を聞く事が出来ます。美味しい食事に楽しいお喋りと、私の毎週のお楽しみになっています。

Every Sunday we hold a lunch party. We eat and talk a lot about many things.
Since everyone takes a different course at school, we get to hear about other courses. Time with good food and fun talk has become something that I look forward to every week.

ある日の一枚です。
授業も終わり、くたくたになって帰るとベッドにニャンコが…
彼女のお陰でその日1日の疲れが一瞬で吹っ飛びました。

Just another ordinary day…
I came home from school all worn out and guess what I found on my bed!
She totally made me forget all the fatigue of the day and got me refreshed!
