What are the application conditions and advantages of studying in American art?

A country with a comprehensive cultural collection allows many different forms of culture and art to communicate, and many outstanding artistic talents gather in the United States. American art colleges pay attention to innovation, but the cost of studying in American art colleges is high, the threshold of studying abroad is high, and the language requirements are high. You should make a detailed plan to study art in America.

Second, the American art advantage major:

Fashion design, interior design, media art, film art, photography technology, art design, digital art design, etc.

Third, the cost of studying abroad:

Annual tuition: 30,000-40,000 USD, and living expenses are 20,000-30,000 USD.

4. Why do you want to study art in an American school?

America is a country with a comprehensive cultural collection. They allow many different forms of cultural and artistic integration, thus providing sufficient support for more types.

5. How difficult is it to study art in American schools?

Some people say that it is very, very difficult for rare people to go out, let alone get a scholarship. This is a misunderstanding. First of all, people who study art have a lower base than other university subjects. Secondly, many people don't understand the application and admission of American schools, which leads to misinformation.

Six, after graduation salary:

It's hard to say this question, but now it seems that art colleges are quite interested in this point. For example, the starting salary of students in general professional colleges is very low, only 20,000-40,000 US dollars, but it is quite common that the average salary of students can reach 200,000 after 10, but UNIV is different. When you finish your MA and PHD, your starting salary may be 40,000-80,000, but after 10, the average salary will remain so much. If you take a fancy to this salary problem, besides personal factors, you should also consider the school.

Seven, the United States art study abroad application requirements

1, exam:

Undergraduate students must take the TOEFL test with a score of 550-600. Just take the SAT 1900-2000. Some colleges and universities do not require the SAT, and the official website of the school shall prevail.

Postgraduates or above must take the TOEFL, with a score of not less than 600, and generally it is best to be above 640. The GRE score is uncertain, and it is not the key reference object, so it can be appropriate. If the score is a clear major, you must take the exam, and it is best to get a high score. Seeing this is very theoretical. GMAT Some universities have majors such as art management, and this score is more important.

Some people say that what should I do if my grades are poor? Achievement is not a key reference for admission factors, unless some schools that emphasize comprehensive quality, such as Northwest University, have no special requirements for all art majors, and any student can study, and the academic standards for natural admission are also very high. Therefore, you must take the exam, and it doesn't matter if you don't do well.

2. GPA:

The university's GPA is big, but the professional evaluation is uncertain, which is of little significance to some schools. And half of the students may come from Beijing, Guangzhou, China and the United States, or the art schools of some famous universities. Which school has no influence on admission, ranking is not important. Try to get a decent score so that the other school won't think you are ignorant.

3. Letter of recommendation:

In fact, the letter of recommendation is quite useful, because this artistic thing is unremarkable, and it is good for someone to appreciate it, but it is not good for no one to appreciate it. It's best to find someone who is highly respected, especially in the eyes of American schools, and has relative weight. It doesn't help to find a teacher to write it yourself. Mainly to evaluate their own development ability and achievements, not to mention the situation of the other school, which is obvious to the school.

4. Art study abroad, portfolio:

Generally, schools require you to provide them. It is suggested that painting, photography and design majors make a set of high-precision plans, and each work has a text description, and then other works stored in slides or DVDs can be built in.

Music majors must record a CD, sing a song in Chinese, English and a third language, and then sing without music. Remember that it's best to do anti-counterfeiting authentication when recording CDs, and then you can help submit tape recordings, so that the school won't think that you made them by computer. If you compose music, remember to hand in the scanned copy, copy and audio tape of the manuscript for composition.

As for dance and performance majors, we must make live videos of our public performances and weighty performances, which are recorded by TV stations or schools, and it is best to make CDs with time codes and send them to schools through VHS.

Let me talk about the weight of the work first. In fact, work is a reflection of your academic achievements. If you can continue to go to graduate school, it means that your artistic ability has basically come to an end. The school just provides you with a more professional environment to enrich yourself. Therefore, there are not many works submitted, and the key is whether it is your truest performance. Never use other people's works. Once found out, you will be difficult to mix in the future. Even if it is a second creation, you should also indicate your name.

As for the work, leave it to the school audit Committee. Many people decide your admission by voting. If it is decided by a professional professor, it is recommended to contact the professor in advance to discuss the work and reflect your thoughts to the professor. Some people say that if you win any international prize, you can get the full prize, which can only be said to be too one-sided. Admission to a school depends more on your direction and whether it is meaningful to train you. There are too many messy awards. Unless it is a few first prizes, the general school will not be hasty. You should put your mind right. You don't have any great works. You can go to a good school.

5.PS and papers:

PS mainly depends on your creative thinking and creativity. Don't be too miscellaneous, just say a few directions and try to penetrate humanistic thinking. It is best that the thesis is theoretical, critical, objective, not subjective and not too avant-garde, depending on whether the research direction of the other professor is consistent with yours.

6. Interview:

This is also more important. Generally, the professor will contact you on his own initiative when the works are published first. You can talk about some topics and let the other person have a three-dimensional understanding of you. The good news now is that several famous American art colleges come to Shanghai and Beijing for publicity every year, so you can contact the school in advance. If their director in charge of enrollment comes over, they can interview and take the exam themselves. There's still a good chance. You can also contact the school to learn about its ideas and trends.

7. Scholarships:

It's a pity that the art majors in many art colleges can't actually provide enough funding. Generally, you will be provided with the opportunity of teaching assistant, and you need to fight for it yourself. Secondly, you can do some odd jobs. Applying for a loan is also a way. Some art schools and institutions will provide financial aid to international students, but not much. In the past two years, the Art College has formed a kind of thought of "rich people are many", so if you want to study in a good school, you still need to have certain work experience and income. Successful artists usually work first and then go to school. Going to school is to reposition your thinking. In addition, it is worth mentioning that many LAC (College of Arts and Sciences) also offer postgraduate education, but the income is small. Generally, there are abundant student grants for your reference. Like Smith Oberlin or something.

8. Choose a school:

It is best to choose a school according to your future employment tendency. The same major will have different directions in different schools, so it is necessary to do a good job in school research. Let's go to official website, a major university, to learn more about it.

I hope I can help you and adopt it. Thank you!
