2. Academy of Fine Arts, Berlin University of the Arts
Since the 1960s, Berlin Art Institute has developed into an institution of higher learning combining art and science. The Berlin Academy of Art's academic model of organically combining art and science is also unique in Europe. 1998, Berlin Art Institute, as the first art university in Germany, was approved by the German Institute to establish a graduate school.
The college has set up more than 30 art majors and related science majors. With the structural reform of plastic arts, design, performing arts and music and their leading institutions, Berlin Art Institute is regarded as a pioneer in the reform and development of German universities with its advantages in teaching and research and achievements in many fields.
3. Kassel College of Art
Kassel Art College was founded in 1777. In the development process of more than 200 years, it has experienced many changes. The majors and courses offered by the school have changed several times with the development of the ideological trend of the times.

Kassel Art College is also a very open art college, which has cooperative relations with many art colleges in the world. Every year, there are not only exchange students and visiting scholars from all over the world, but also a certain proportion of foreign students.
4. Stuttgart Art Institute
Stuttgart National Academy of Plastic Arts was established in 176 1 year, offering 17 undergraduate and master's programs, among which a bachelor's degree in European design and architectural art, a master's degree in European design, architectural art and basic research, and a Diplom program. Such as plastic arts, textile design, communication design, oil painting and rigid sculpture, ancient anthropological works and handicrafts, photo archives and library items, murals and stone carvings, preservation of emerging media and digital information, and art education.
The application condition for art students to study in Germany is 1. The first requirement for studying art is that you have studied related majors in previous universities in China: for example, painting, that is, students from the former Academy of Fine Arts; Arts and crafts include domestic majors such as design, decoration, clothing, environmental art, product modeling or photography. The basic requirement is to study for more than two years or graduate, and there is no age limit. It is not uncommon for old students in their thirties and forties in German universities, but older people often take learning this as a hobby.
2. The basic criteria for submitting works are: 25-30 pieces. Recent works, it is best to stay away from business and embody culture and art, such as architectural drawings or commodity packaging that you have designed or participated in before, are not good works. Pure painting or cultural public service advertisements are the best. You can provide what you appreciate. It is better to use the original. Other forms such as photos or copies, videos, CDs, etc. It is also acceptable.
3. Notarization materials are the same as applying for other majors. What I want to explain here is the requirements for German: most majors require proof of class hours, but they are not as strict as other majors. Although there is a language test after coming, it is relatively easy, that is, the DSH standard of art is much lower than that of ordinary majors. Some schools do not use DSH, but take other name language tests as German proficiency tests. Some majors have no language requirements. For example, product modeling or fashion design (both of which are modeling majors) need language tests, but pure art or visual communication does not. You can even bring an interpreter to take the exam.
Portfolio requirements and skills
correlation
You need to apply to as many universities as possible in case you have no choice after missing the first choice school.
First of all, make a list of the admission criteria of the art colleges you want to go to, because different colleges have different admission requirements. Accurately recording the admission criteria, the advantages of colleges and universities, and the application deadline will all help you prepare your portfolio. Then print it out, mark the key information and put it at hand for easy reference.
Do analysis
Watching and obtaining students' Offer portfolio is one of the ways to understand the requirements of the target university portfolio. Many schools will choose some excellent works to put in their own libraries or libraries.
Some students may feel that they can't reach such a high level after seeing these excellent works, but don't be depressed. Remember, works of art are evaluated in a wide range. If you have a good academic background, creative thinking and great enthusiasm for a project, you must make full use of these points to arouse the good anger and resonance of the judges at these points.
Talk less
Designers should use pictures as their own language, so please avoid filling in too many words, and try to speak with pictures in the portfolio. This does not refer to simple spelling and rendering, but to various display contents, such as hand-drawing ability, floor plan, structural perspective, spatial perspective, photography quality, communication professionalism and so on.
diversification
The portfolio is equivalent to your business card, so the portfolio should reflect diversity. For example, students majoring in fashion design need to present 2-3 series of design works that show your different design styles and creative sources, plus some other artistic works that you are good at, such as fabric design, sculpture and jewelry design. The portfolio can cover your design ability and skills, such as sketching, watercolor painting, 3D production, creativity, color matching, structural design, software application and so on.
creative
Foreign art colleges hope to recruit innovative, creative and talented students, not those who just copy them. Creativity is the soul of the portfolio. Whether it is clothing style, artistic style or highly fixed style, you need to reflect your creativity. The interviewer will focus on the applicant's creativity and logical thinking ability, which requires that the concept of each design scheme is clear and creative, and the logic should be simple and clear.
There is a process
The definition of a complete work in foreign universities is to have a complete design process and design thinking, which is also the focus that many students need to strengthen when making a portfolio. For various reasons, many universities in China do not pay much attention to the design process, but pay great attention to the final design effect. Therefore, when preparing, we should not only pay attention to the effect and creativity of the work, but also pay attention to whether the process of the work is complete.
Collection type
When the admissions officer looks at your portfolio, he/she usually has a heavy workload during the application season. This is why you should keep your portfolio short and attractive. Don't let people find your portfolio boring. Don't put the work at the end (the admissions officer may not have finished reading it).
The portfolio is usually PPT or PDF. At the beginning of the portfolio, you need an eye-catching cover, and the first page is a simple and prominent resume. In terms of the number of works, the design major needs to provide 3-4 complete works.
In addition, the file size of the whole portfolio is generally not more than 10M, and the portfolio can be typeset according to certain logical relations, and attention should be paid to keeping it beautiful and orderly.
The sooner you prepare your portfolio, the better. Give yourself enough time. The specific time varies according to students' ability. The reasonable production time is 1- 1 year and a half.
Materials needed for art students to apply for studying abroad
The most important thing is: the invitation letter Einladung zur Aufnahmeprüfung, that is, the invitation letter for the entrance examination of German universities.
Applicants for pure art should take the college entrance examination in Germany. There are some differences between the German Art Institute and other majors. Students are not professional course admission notices, but examination invitations. Generally, students are required to submit corresponding professional works when applying for examination invitation, and there are no other restrictions and requirements on academic qualifications. In view of the importance of examination invitation for art students to apply for German universities, under the framework of Sino-German cooperation agreement, we hope that students will actively participate in the exchange activities between domestic schools and German universities as much as possible, complete their collections under the face-to-face guidance of German professors, and lay a solid foundation for applying for German art universities and examination invitations in the future.
So to put it simply, the process of domestic high school students applying for studying in German art: First, determine the school according to their own conditions and majors. Followed by language preparation, material preparation, APS audit preparation of the application school and the audit department. Finally, I got an invitation letter from the German Academy of Art or Music and an application certificate for a language class, which was approved by APS and submitted to Germany.
Apply for evaluation:
I. APS Audit Interview in Germany
Studying in Germany must be audited by the audit department, but pure art students, such as piano, dance, painting and so on. You don't need to attend APS audit interview, just submit the audit materials and pay the audit fee of 500 yuan. Art students who are exempt from the examination can only apply for the pure art major of German Art Institute or Conservatory of Music. If they apply to an ordinary university, they should also attend an interview with the audit department.
Second, the German Academy of Arts Examination
Generally speaking, it is knowledge of language, major, music theory and so on. It's an assessment, and the examination time is usually1-March or June-August every year. The examinations in German art colleges are generally divided into initial examination and re-examination (live painting and dialogue), with the initial examination in February-May and the re-examination in June-August.
To apply for a German art school, you must go to Germany to take the school exam. There are generally two ways.
1. I received the invitation letter to apply for the school, and then I went to Germany to take the exam, but the visa time was relatively short.
2. Go to Germany to study the language first, and then take the local school exam directly. These applicants also belong to study abroad applicants, and most students will choose the second method.
German art study abroad expenses
Tuition: German public colleges and universities do not charge tuition fees, but only charge a small amount of registration fees, which saves a large part of the cost of studying abroad and makes the attraction of studying in Germany suddenly increase. Tuition in some universities in Germany: 5,000-6,000 RMB for 4 years.
Registration fee: German public institutions do not charge tuition fees, but they have to pay a registration fee of 100- 150 euros per semester.
Living expenses: about 200,000-300,000 RMB for 4 years. According to the regulations of the German government, each international student should prepare 890 euros for his basic life in China every month, including basic necessities such as housing and meals. For an ordinary German student, 600 euros per month should be enough to cover the above expenses. 1 year, 7,200 euros, equivalent to 9,200 dollars.
Book fee: 4 years, thousands to 20,000 RMB. According to 300 euros per semester, 600 euros for the whole year, equivalent to 760 dollars. Because the original books in Germany are expensive, most students will copy books or go to the library to read books, which will save a lot.
Insurance premium: 4 years, about 2,000 to 5,000 RMB. The insurance of students in Germany is handled by the public insurance institution "AOK" in the city where the school is located. The monthly premium is 80- 100 euros, and the annual premium is 1200 euros, which is equivalent to 1500 dollars.
