Requirements for studying in Musashino University of Fine Arts
1, Japanese requirements
Musashino University of Fine Arts has put forward the requirement that students who apply to become monks must reach JLPT2 level 2 qualification, or score above 200 in Japanese subjects in the Japanese study abroad examination. In addition, for the majors of art and cultural policy, visual communication, spatial expression design, architecture and design informatics, it is also suggested that it is best to reach JLPT2 level 2, or the score of Japanese subjects in the Japanese study abroad exam is above 280.
2. Research plan
A research plan can be a plan to do further research on a certain research direction that you have been interested in or done, including time plan, project objectives, research contents, research methods, and what kind of results you want to achieve in the end. Japanese tutors like students who work hard and plan, so this plan should be as comprehensive and detailed as possible. But the research plan itself doesn't have to be difficult, just be as interesting as possible and show your intelligence. In addition, we should pay attention to the following aspects:
1) Combine your own interests and previous projects or work experience;
2) High integration with the target major. For example, if you are a visual communication major at Musashino University of Fine Arts, you can study it from the perspectives of the times, environmentalism, minimalism and symbolic meaning of symbols.
3) The contrast between cultures, such as the differences between Chinese and Japanese cultures, can be appropriately combined, but attention should be paid to cleverly choosing the starting point to avoid the vague and old-fashioned research topics.
3. Portfolio
Take the animation major as an example: the requirements are two works recently completed, one is a collection of physical works and the other is a video work. It is best to put the collection of physical works in the previous content related to this animation work, such as inspiration source, scene design, personnel design, lens splitting and so on. In addition, you can also put some of your usual exercises, such as illustration photography or small projects you have participated in.
4. Examination content
The entrance examination of Musashi Beauty Monk is slightly different according to different majors, but it basically appears in the form of portfolio+practical skill examination+essay. For example, visual communication needs to submit two works, and then take the essay test. Sculpture majors also have to hand in two works, but they also have to take a sketch test and an essay test.
Step 5 interview
Professors of all related disciplines will ask questions according to students' works, and will also ask students about their views on the subject and future research directions. Frequently asked questions in the interview are as follows:
Why did you come to Japan to study?
2) Why did you choose me as a professor?
3) How do you feel about Japan?
4) Study the related issues of the plan and the plan after graduation.
Specialty Setting of Musashino University of Fine Arts
First, undergraduate course
1, Japanese Painting Research Department
While inheriting the long tradition of oriental painting, it also absorbed the influence of foreign culture, forming and developing Japanese painting. Japanese people's unique aesthetic consciousness, spiritual modeling thought, excellent materials and technology occupy a unique position in world art. In this department, we should think deeply about Japanese painting and its process, gain profound and attractive professional skills through Japanese painting, and cultivate the ability to create a new painting world.
2. Petroleum Specialty [Printmaking]
In the studio beyond facilities, environment and grade, we pursue the new possibility of printed matter through production. Prints, represented by ukiyo-e paintings and numerous historical publications, have been involved in people's lives as "media connected with society" outside the artistic field. While expanding the types of prints, spread them to illustrations, picture books, photos and other media, master the skills of prints, and understand the essence of painting performance such as "what to draw" and "why to draw". I will cultivate expressive people who can spread widely.
3. Sculpture discipline
Studying sculpture means thinking about how works are formed. We use sophisticated equipment to explain the essence of art in professional studios. "What is sculpture?" This is a question, and the answer to it is incorrect. The area of the sculpture is still expanding, so it is uncertain whether it is "here" or "this". However, if we keep asking where the sculpture comes from, what kind of works it has developed into, and what the present and future of the sculpture should be, life will give life to the sculpture. While paying attention to traditional materials and technologies, we also emphasize the importance of contemporariness and cultivate those expressors who open the door to the unknown world through universal inquiry.
4. Department of Visual Communication Design
Understand the origin of design, cultivate designers' keen sensitivity and ability, and use various media. The origin of design is to think and realize "how to convey people's emotions". For example, if you invite friends to a party at home, you will do a lot of things that make you feel and pay attention, and invite room decoration and food to every corner. In the department of visual communication design, we have acquired the ability to develop into various media through vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Cultivate communicators who can exchange information in various forms. That is the Department of Visual Communication Design.
5. Department of Space Design
Let people be happy in space. Cultivate human resources to expand their sensitivity and cooperation, and actively create space. Interior design, environmental planning and fashion design all have different coping fields, but they all have the same feeling of "I want to make people happy". To design a space, it is important to deepen your understanding of the history, technology, new media and technology of art design, and learn from the ever-changing nature. Establish space for the first time by collecting personal feelings. Cultivate unique expressive force and rich creativity, train designers, and create beautiful and rich space for human activities.
6. Architecture discipline
The function of architecture is to create a high-quality environment and support all kinds of buildings, regions, cities, environments, landscapes and all human activities and whereabouts from the interior to the houses. In this department, you will learn the architectural skills that make up the space, and learn how to establish the organic connection between the building and the place and area as the basis of life. Encourage social mechanisms, grasp the current situation of architecture related to the creation of new society and value, master the analytical ability of historical consideration, and deepen the education of cultural and artistic design. The learning structure of "Design Scheme" is a whole, with small studio as the core of the course from the third year of high school, challenging today's themes and types.
Second, the postgraduate major
The Graduate School of Musashino University of Fine Arts aims to cultivate knowledgeable human resources and contribute to the creation and development of culture by teaching professional skills, theories and applications related to art design on the basis of undergraduate departments. Master's courses cultivate academic knowledge from a wide range of angles, and cultivate the research ability and advanced ability needed by the profession. Postdoctoral courses teach and develop advanced creativity and expression skills and theories, and become advanced ability, rich academic knowledge and research leadership for independent creative research activities.
In view of the expansion of the academic field, six art courses and eight design courses are offered, including 14 course. Completed more than two years, completed a master's thesis or master's thesis, and completed units above 10, with 20 credits for each course and 30 credits for * * *.
