First, the advantages of Japanese art study abroad
Studying abroad is economical.
Compared with other countries in Europe and America, the cost of studying in Japan is much cheaper, depending on the nature of the institutions applying.
Generally speaking, the tuition fees of private universities in Japan are more expensive than those of public universities, ranging from 6.5438+0.7 million to 6.5438+0.8 million yen, equivalent to about 654.38+00 to 6.5438+0.65438+0 million yuan; The tuition fees of public schools are much lower than those of private schools, and the annual tuition fees are basically 10,000 yuan.
Cultural and artistic atmosphere
Japan's secondary culture is spread all over the world. This year's Tokyo Olympic Games also takes famous cartoon characters as propaganda ambassadors. Even the flag designs of various countries are full of sincerity, which fully shows the excellent level of Japanese animation design.
In addition to animation design, Japan's graphic design, visual communication and fashion design are also the best in Asia. For example, brands such as Uniqlo and Muji have gained a large number of users around the world.
Exquisite designs can be seen everywhere on the streets of Japan. Some people say that only when you have been to Japan can you truly feel the atmosphere and perfection of Japanese art and culture.
Professional degree of University of the Arts
First of all, in addition to Wu Mei in Tokyo, there are also some comprehensive universities with outstanding art majors, so students can choose the school that suits them best according to the situation.
Secondly, the pressure of Japanese art universities is far lower than that of the eight major fine arts colleges in China. Domestic art candidates account for about 10% of college entrance examination students. It's a good strategy to save the country to apply for the Japanese University of Arts by taking advantage of China's wooden bridge.
Finally, I have to mention the education model. The entrance to Japanese art universities is a tutorial system. Tutors will value students' innovative ability, thinking ability and creative ability. After entering the university, the knowledge they have learned is also keeping up with the trend of the times, because each tutor is also a designer working in the front line. For example, naoto fukasawa teaches at Tama University of Fine Arts, and he is also the designer of MUJI.
Distant relatives are not as useful as close neighbors.
The distance between Japan and China is close, the round-trip airfare is low, and the living habits and eating habits are similar. At the same time, Japan's public security is good, people are polite and enthusiastic, and they are easy to contact.
