Conditions for art students to study abroad
Art students studying abroad do not have high requirements for foreign languages, and their foreign language achievements are not very important compared with their personal portfolios.
If you choose an art college in the United States, your TOEFL score must be above 90;
If you choose Korea, you don't need to meet the language standards, you can go directly to a language school, and you can study professional courses after the language reaches Band 4.
If you choose an art college in Japan, there are certain requirements for cultural courses. You need to study in a language school in China before you can enter the school.
If you choose an art school in Russia, you only need to pass the interview of the school representative about the artistic level.
Some don't even need to pass the exam, as long as the works and video materials you provide at the time of application are true.
Personal portfolio has an important influence on whether art students can study abroad smoothly.
How to go to an ideal college for studying in art
Improve artistic accomplishment
In recent years, the number of students applying to study art has been rising. Rich artistic resources, heavy historical accumulation and a more balanced artistic industrial chain system have attracted more and more attention.
For students who plan to study abroad in art, the most important thing is to consolidate the basic knowledge of art and improve their artistic accomplishment. "Try to be comprehensive. Both art and cultural history need to be understood. " Especially for the art and culture of countries interested in studying abroad, it is necessary to have a deep understanding with a research attitude, which is of great significance for students to prepare for the exam.
In addition, students need to know famous artists and representative works, understand and appreciate the same or different expressions in their works, and be familiar with their artistic styles, which may be involved in the examination.
Students should be good at using the official website resources of the school they want to apply for, and be familiar with the art courses and related key points set by the school, because the teaching key points often overlap with the examination content. Whether the official website resources of the school can be used to the maximum extent will also test students' learning and research ability.
Faye has successfully entered the University of Leeds to study photography, and she was impressed by her application process. She also suggested that students "visit official website more", so as to have a deeper understanding of the major setting and further understand whether the major itself meets their psychological expectations. "Understanding schools, majors, teachers and related works is an unavoidable topic in the application, and often these resources are placed on the school official website in the clearest way, waiting for the applicant to dig." Faye said.
Cultivate one's own artistic style
Zhao Xingjian studied at Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Italy. In the application stage, he considered two institutions, Brera Academy of Fine Arts and Turin Academy of Fine Arts. "The application forms of the two fine arts institutes are all preliminary examinations in China, and then they will go to Italy to study the language for 8 months and then take the second interview. The difference is that the eight-month language study in Turin Academy of Fine Arts was conducted in the form of a preparatory school, and there was no such thing as a preparatory school in brera Academy of Fine Arts at that time. " Zhao Xingjian said.
On-site testing is the main method used by many art colleges in Europe in the assessment, and it is also the difference between professional art colleges and comprehensive colleges in the admission of art majors. Professional art colleges pay more attention to majors, while art majors in comprehensive colleges pay more attention to the cultivation of students' comprehensive strength.
Another more important aspect is that students should have their own artistic style.
Foreign universities attach great importance to students' innovative ability and their own ideas in art. For the application stage, if students have some bold ideas and dare to innovate, they may get unexpected surprises.
Zhao Xingjian has a deep understanding of this. There is no clear boundary between the requirements of painting in the two fine arts institutes he applied for. "From an artistic point of view, it is hard to say what is' good art' and what is' bad art'; From the perspective of examination, different professors also have different preferences and requirements. Try to let the professor see what the applicant' wants' to draw, and the professor prefers to see painting forms that he has never seen or rarely seen. Of course, this may not be a brand-new painting form, or it may be that students find new expressions in traditional forms. " He said.
Clear and definite self-positioning
For students, it is actually a better choice to plan ahead and complete the application step by step.
"For example, my major in film is offered in many comprehensive colleges. Our school does not subdivide majors and directions in the undergraduate stage, but only in the postgraduate stage, such as directors, screenwriters and field notes. Therefore, whether it is an undergraduate application or a graduate application, you must be clear about your interest orientation, otherwise you may become' depressed' in boring courses. " Faye said.
At the same time, in addition to the reputation of the institution itself, the professional ranking and industry recognition of the institution are also very important. Some comprehensive colleges rank high, but it does not mean that all majors in the school are high, and even some colleges with high comprehensive rankings are not dominant in individual majors. This is especially important for art students because it will affect their recognition in the industry after graduation.
