1, expenditure

(1) Tuition: the tuition (including accommodation) of the Academy of Fine Arts for one academic year 18000 or so. Of course, you have to study sculpture or design.

(2) Material cost: This mainly depends on the course and personal choice. If you only make clay sculptures, there is almost no material cost. If sludge, wood, metal and other materials are used, they need to be counted. According to the normal curriculum planning of the Academy of Fine Arts, 1000 yuan or so.

(3) Tool cost: including trowel, carving knife, pliers, angle grinder, etc. , an average of about a year in 500 yuan.

(4) Mold turnover fee: clay sculpture needs to be turned over before it can be considered as a finished product. Generally, there is no need to turn it over, but if there are particularly satisfactory works to keep, it is essential. According to a 60-cm-high human sculpture, 800 yuan is around one year.

(5) Investigation expenses to the countryside: The Academy of Fine Arts will organize about two investigation activities to the countryside during the undergraduate period, with an average of about 1500 yuan per year.

(6) Daily living expenses: This mainly depends on the local consumption level and personal consumption habits. If it is calculated at 2000 yuan a month, it will be about 20,000 yuan a year (excluding winter and summer vacations).

To sum up, the annual expenditure on studying sculpture is at least 4 1800 yuan. However, it should be noted that compared with sculpture, scientific design only reduces the turnover cost of molds, and the expenditure on materials, tools and inspections is not less than that of sculpture. In addition, the design also needs to buy a computer with acceptable quality, so there is little difference in annual expenditure between the two.

2. Income and expenses

In the case of qualified personal ability and not being particularly excellent, I can't work independently in this major in the first two years of my undergraduate course. Part-time jobs that require professional knowledge can be considered: art pre-class guidance, art tutor, extracurricular counseling institutions, helping brothers and sisters complete the design, etc. There is no obvious difference between design and sculpture in this respect (it is obviously more necessary to pay physical labor to help brothers and sisters complete this sculpture).

In the last two to three years of undergraduate course (five years of sculpture major in some colleges), students with qualified professional skills can work independently in this major. At this time, they can consider taking orders, joining or forming art studios, participating in exhibitions and so on. At this time, the difference is more obvious. Design specialty is more perfect than sculpture in commercialization, and there are relatively more opportunities.

However, it should be noted that although the list of sculptures is relatively small in design, the unit price of the transaction is slightly higher than that of the same level design. During the undergraduate period, the design list ranges from several hundred to several thousand yuan, and the price of sculptures is basically not less than one thousand yuan, while those with large volume (such as sculptures placed in some shopping malls or squares, etc.). ) There are tens of thousands of yuan. As for hundreds of thousands and millions of urban sculptures, students are basically out of reach.

To sum up, in terms of income, there are more opportunities for design at a normal level. As long as you are willing to take orders desperately, your income is higher than that of sculpture, and there are fewer opportunities for sculpture. However, if we can catch it in time, it is also possible to solve the living expenses for one year at a time.
