First, the materials needed for Japanese art study abroad
1, language scores
Japanese: Japanese is a compulsory requirement for studying in Japan, but the Japanese requirements of art students are generally lower than those of other majors. But if you want to go to the top art colleges in Japan, your Japanese requirements will not be much lower than those of other majors. Therefore, students who are interested in attending top universities should try their best to improve their language ability. Generally, the requirements of Japanese people are above N2.
English: TOEFL score should be above 80.
2. Interview results
Some art colleges need interview results, and even interviews play a decisive role in admission. It is very necessary to master the interview requirements and prepare for the interview in advance. It is suggested that students make systematic and targeted preparations and exercises in advance, and even pay special attention to gfd to avoid leaving a bad impression on the interviewer during the interview and affecting the final result.
3. Letter of recommendation
Art colleges pay more attention to academic inheritance and credibility, and letters of recommendation cannot be perfunctory. Different referees may determine the admission institution of students, and the recommendation letter does not blindly talk about the advantages of students, but analyzes the characteristics and abilities of students.
4. Personal statement
Personal statement should be concise first, and at the same time, you need to show your creative process, ideas and methods, highlight your own strength and make good plans for the future. Personal statements should convey their understanding of art, be true and have personal characteristics.
5. Portfolio
Portfolio is the key factor to whether art students can be admitted and which level of colleges they can be admitted to. Different colleges and universities have different requirements for art collections, and even examiners of different majors in the same college will have different evaluation criteria.
Second, Japanese art study abroad requirements

Japanese is a compulsory requirement for studying in Japan, but the Japanese requirements of art students are generally lower than those of other majors. But if you want to study in the top art colleges in Japan, your Japanese requirements will not be much lower than those of other majors. Therefore, students who are interested in studying in top universities should try their best to improve their language skills. Generally speaking, Japanese should be above N2, and English TOEFL should be above 80.
2. Portfolio
In the early stage of making a portfolio, you should first prepare your own ideas. The whole collection can be one work or a patchwork of many works. The specifications of the work depend on the professor. If the professor doesn't specify the number of pages, he can decide for himself.
The portfolio must be bound into a volume, preferably about 16 pages. The works in the collection should be translated and introduced in Japanese or English, and the content and personal introduction should be included. The specifications of the general portfolio vary according to different schools and professors. For example, the works of Tokyo University of the Arts use A4 for professors and B3 for academic affairs offices, some in the form of CDs and some in the form of brochures. Finally, I suggest that you conduct professional portfolio training before applying to Japanese art colleges.
