Art colleges in the United States can be divided into two categories. One is a comprehensive university with an art college, which provides art projects from undergraduate, master to doctoral. Yes? How are you? Art? Are you online? Bachelor of Design/Animation? Yes? Art? Are you online? Design? Bachelor? Yes? Science? Are you online? Art? History? Master? Yes? How are you? Art? Are you online? Design? Master? Yes? Music? Master? Yes? Music? Education, doctor? Yes? A doctorate in music or art. The other is a specialized art college with various names. If you don't know the situation, you think it's a diploma workshop, like Pratt? Institute? Parsons? That? New? School? For what? Design, etc. In fact, people are really famous American art schools, which specialize in cultivating artistic talents and provide undergraduate to master's degrees, such as bachelor's degree? Yes? How are you? Art? Are you online? Bachelor of Design/Animation? Yes? Art? Are you online? Design? Bachelor? Yes? Science? Are you online? Art? History? Master? Yes? How are you? Art? Are you online? Design? Master? Yes? Music? Master? Yes? Music? Education, etc. In the art schools of comprehensive universities, undergraduates are trained according to the American general education concept, so freshmen and sophomores majoring in art will also study humanities, science and art courses according to the requirements of the school, and juniors and sophomores will study specialized art courses. The majors and courses provided by professional art colleges are all around art majors, so students will study art-related majors in an all-round way when they are freshmen and sophomores, with only a small number of humanities courses such as English writing and art history, and a large proportion of courses in junior and senior are about learning studios. The proportion of studios in comprehensive universities is very low, which is more limited to theoretical study, such as painting? History, etc. However, in a comprehensive university, you can cultivate your interests widely, and you can choose such things as art+management, art +CS, art+anything, but professional schools do not have this advantage, because the majors and courses offered are all focused on art, so you can imagine that professional art schools, where a large number of talents who love art gather together, have a stronger artistic atmosphere, which is more conducive to the cultivation of creativity and artistic thinking, while comprehensive universities are not so obvious. These are all their own characteristics. Can't say which is good and which is bad. You can only choose what you like. Because these two types of schools have trained a large number of well-known artistic talents. ?
Bachelor? Yes? How are you? Art and bachelors? Yes? Art/Science and Master? Yes? How are you? Art and Master? Yes? What's the difference between art and science? There will be a lot of studios to study in the previous course, and the proportion of studios in the latter course will be less and less, and there will be more and more theoretical study. When applying for an art major, in addition to providing transcripts, language scores, proof of funds, certificates and other contents, you also need to provide a portfolio. Portfolio plays a very important role in the application for studying abroad in art. Some people say that it will play more than 50%, which shows its importance. According to my many years of application experience, I must not ignore the thinking of students studying in the United States, pay too much attention to the portfolio, spend a lot of money to ask people for help, and ignore the overall consistency of documents, backgrounds and works, which will eventually affect the application results. In the application for studying abroad in art, the language requirement is not very high, unlike the starting price of business is 100. Some schools also need to submit SAT for undergraduate application for art study; Because of the applicant's age and experience, he will pay more attention to the students' past achievements and interest in art, and the professionalism of the portfolio is not a special consideration. On the contrary, the portfolio is much more important for postgraduate application, because it is the concentrated expression of the applicant's four-year application for five years (architecture), while art postgraduates, like going to school and working, learn to improve themselves by participating in projects and making works, so professionalism will be a key assessment factor. Graduate students majoring in art are often reluctant to take the GRE/GMAT exam. For majors in American universities, GRE/GMAT is generally needed if the project is not just about studying art, such as painting history research, art management, architecture, graphic design, etc. The portfolio can be submitted through a third-party platform recognized by American universities, such as slideroom, and can also be mailed to VCD or uploaded to Youtube (do you want to swear? ), depending on the school official website. Of course, with more and more international students coming to China, many American universities will personally come to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou for interviews, such as Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Boston University Conservatory of Music, Manhattan Conservatory of Music, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and Johns Hopkins University Peabody Conservatory of Music. It is much better to attend the interview of the school admissions officer in person than to record a video, so you can show yourself better. However, it should be reminded that this activity was organized by a domestic company, and the number of interviews was very large. Please register as soon as possible. Please pay attention to the website (http://www.usaschoolsofmusic.org/xxjj/hpjsxy/) for details. Studying abroad in art is the pursuit of beauty. Such high-end things must cost a lot of money, and the tuition budget of 60 thousand yuan/year is more suitable. However, it should be pointed out that American art majors also have great opportunities to get scholarships. For some people who are interested in art, but because of the special national conditions such as setting majors in advance in the college entrance examination, they can apply for cross-majors. For example, there is a postgraduate program for architecture majors, which provides projects for people who are not architecture majors before but have a certain foundation.
Studying in American art is a big topic, and each sub-project can be introduced by writing an article. Here, I'm just talking in general terms to give you a general impression. Finally, I summed up one of the factors that American art programs attract international students from China and even the world: apart from the cultivation of artistic skills of artistic talents, I pay more attention to the cultivation of artistic innovative thinking of an artistic professional. This cultivation is worth learning. This kind of training is not to tell us to cultivate artistic innovative thinking, but to moisten things quietly and infiltrate into the usual teaching activities.
