I. Conditions of application
1, Japanese requirements
Japanese is a necessary condition for studying in Japan, but the requirements for art students are lower than those of other majors. Japanese is generally required to be above N2. In fact, the better the Japanese level, the faster you can adapt to it after going abroad, and you can enter the learning state as soon as possible, which is also conducive to communication with your classmates and teachers.
2. 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. At present, there are many art private schools in Japan, and many language schools also have instruction courses in art learning. Students can choose such guidance courses according to their own conditions.
Step 3 interview
In the process of studying in Japan, interview is also an indispensable link. Many students passed the written test, but failed in the interview. Therefore, it is very necessary for students to grasp the interview requirements in advance and prepare for the interview in advance.
4. Other conditions such as academic qualifications and funds for studying abroad.
Different schools and majors have different specific conditions, and the school will conduct the final exam according to the comprehensive situation of enrollment.
Second, the professional direction
1, space design
Space design is the integration of architectural design and environmental design, which provides people with a safe and secure living space every day and creates a forward field with the pace of regional history and culture. The analysis of research results, the analysis and investigation of the present situation, the proposal of topics, and the practice and practice combined with specific plans and designs make students expressive and explanatory. Cultivate students' ability to make furniture, houses, interior decoration, art exhibition rooms, urban centers, art galleries and other public spaces, accommodation facilities in urban collective houses and hot spring sightseeing areas, regenerate historical buildings and consider both external and internal environments.
After graduation, most students enter graduate school or enter administrative organs or comprehensive construction departments, architectural design firms or building product processing industries and furniture manufacturing industries.
2. Product design
Product design covers a wide range, and all kinds of utensils related to life have design requirements. Small to cups and plates, knives and forks, electronic products, large to furniture, cars, ships, all kinds of machinery and so on. According to the different nature and use, it is divided into many categories, such as handicraft design and industrial design; Appearance design and structural design, etc. Product design major is one of the representative majors that art extends to other industries, and it is also a major with many professional directions and wide industries.
The employment of this major has certain particularity, and its employment is closely related to the background of the product industry it relies on. Product designers can extend to various design fields. Of course, in different industries, different companies will have certain differences in employment. Nowadays, product design majors in many colleges and universities are combined with other related courses, which fully embodies the industry background and teaching advantages and shows good employment strength.
3. Content design
This subject is mainly carried out through communication systems and advanced computers. This major focuses on the media to gain insight into new ways of communication, making it easier for people to understand and understand some information, and to spread information more easily through different ways.
In the future, you can be employed in software development departments such as newspapers, websites, advertising companies, film and television animation companies, design companies and mobile phones. It is a relatively novel and advanced major.
4. Animation design
Animation design is to cultivate students' artistic beauty, rational thinking and creative appreciation ability through professional study of modern artistic concepts and practice of modern artistic ability; Can use 3D animation software tools to create 3D film and television animation art works, and can independently complete animation design, animation production, animation creation and other creative tasks. Cultivate high-quality and professional talents in the field of film and television animation.
Specifically, if you study animation, you will work in animation designers, animators, mobile games, mobile animation and other wireless entertainment fields, commercial production companies such as advertising communication, film and television animation production, and television media industry.
