Graduate students majoring in fine arts have many research directions, so they can only choose one specific professional newspaper when applying for the exam. Generally speaking, art credits are practical and historic. Practice includes plastic arts and art design, and history is divided into two categories: art history and art education. Plastic arts are divided into Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, sculpture and other disciplines. Art design includes clothing dyeing and weaving, environmental art, product modeling, graphic design (visual communication), animation design and other disciplines. Art history includes China art history, foreign art history, arts and crafts history and many other disciplines. If you want to take the exam, you'd better have a thorough understanding of the subject setting of art and lock in the target. Because the professional subject setting of each major direction is different during the exam, the difference is sometimes great, so you need to prepare for the exam.

To give some practical suggestions, it is best to take the subject of art history and theory as the test object. History and theory majors generally do not take the basic skills of painting, even if they take the test very low. Don't apply for practical subjects blindly, because practical subjects should be tested by hand drawing and are professional requirements. Without professional basic skills and skills training, it is difficult to pass the exam. The learning characteristics of graduate courses determine that graduate courses for art majors do not include introductory training, but are designed for art graduates who have received long-term professional training. Therefore, it is unrealistic to take the postgraduate art practice exam with interest and talent.

Teaching links:

Postgraduate courses are not as many and systematic as undergraduate courses. They are professional subjects set on the premise that students have relatively complete basic knowledge and skills. They are highly thematic and research-oriented. If you want to learn art, you must first have a clear understanding of the theory of art history and a certain degree of familiarity, otherwise you can't connect. Graduate students majoring in art history mainly study thesis writing and need a lot of reading. It may not be difficult, but they may not be interested. I suggest reading more professional books on art history first and feeling whether to engage in this major. Postgraduates in practical subjects are mainly creative, with few basic training courses and no basic introductory courses. If you have not received the basic professional training of sketch color, it will be difficult to go directly. Taking painting as an example, the basic training of sketch color is usually human sketch, which is not suitable for amateurs to participate.

Employment link:

At present, the domestic situation is that the enrollment expansion of fine arts majors is seriously exceeding the standard, both undergraduates and postgraduates have serious employment difficulties, and the competition between employment and postgraduate entrance examination is fierce. This is caused by the wrong enrollment expansion policy of the country. The number of undergraduates and postgraduates majoring in fine arts in China is now more than 10 times that of fifteen years ago, but the number of jobs has not obviously expanded. Two of the top ten majors that are difficult to find jobs this year are fine arts. In fact, this major is not suitable for weak and easy-going people, unless they are immortal or particularly broad, they don't have to consider survival and employment ... If they do, they may not survive without a strong sense of competition. Among the fine arts majors, the art design major is better for employment. This major is very professional, completely a service industry, far less weak than you think, with great work intensity, which basically belongs to heavy manual labor. Professional employment such as painting is even more unreliable. If you want to live a painter's life by signing up for a gallery, it's impossible without all the kung fu. There are many activities between Liang Yin and hidden weapons in this industry, which are not necessarily more vulgar than those of law majors. Art history and theory majors are generally the springboard to get a diploma. Few people will not change careers after their studies, unless they are university teachers, but it is even more difficult to be a teacher, who must be a doctor and have access.

Finally, I hope to know more about the actual situation before deciding to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and don't waste time and enthusiasm. Some things look beautiful just because they are far away. Take a closer look, it's all the same, maybe not as good as the original. There may be differences between majors, but there is not much difference between majors and occupations. It's a bit romantic for graduate students to study art across majors, because they missed the basic knowledge stage of their major, and the most energetic energy during that time was spent on other majors. Now, if you invest in a new subject, it is hard to imagine what kind of return you will get in the end. It's all hard work, and graduate students are really not suitable for novice training.
