I. Application materials
1, professional course scores
Excellent academic performance in school is a necessary condition for competing for a good school, which generally requires more than 80%. Good academic performance in school is especially beneficial to apply for art majors in comprehensive universities. In addition, students majoring in art generally have many professional awards. Applicants must be carefully screened. For example, international awards are very convincing. Sometimes, especially professional art colleges and even schools can make you "lenient" and get admission.
2. Works
Some art majors need to provide additional works for application. At this time, the quality of works often becomes the core of the application, and it is the most critical step to determine whether the application is successful or not. Therefore, the earlier you prepare related works, the better, the more fully you prepare, and highlight your advantages in the professional field as much as possible. Don't make preparations beyond your ability, because the evaluation of colleges and universities is very strict, and the exposure of some subtle weaknesses will not give you extra points after all.
3. Preparation of documents
1) recommendation letter. To apply for an art major, the general school will require two letters of recommendation. The contents of the recommendation letter include name, professional title, unit, contact information, relationship with the applicant, etc. A good recommendation letter doesn't need much content. The key is to explain your professional characteristics and potential. I believe that no one will refuse a student who will win glory for his teacher in the future. In addition, a very prestigious referee often has a good effect. After all, the art circle, especially when it comes to a certain field, will be highly recognized in the industry, and to a certain extent, such letters of recommendation can also attract the attention of admissions teachers.
2) Personal statement. Because it is an application for art majors, you must express your understanding of applying for majors in a personalized and distinctive way, and reflect your professional background, cultural background and related experience from different angles.
