How to take an examination of graduate students majoring in photography

The 20 18 enrollment catalogue of photography major in Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts has been adjusted, and the photography major is planned to be in the fine arts category. The examination subjects also changed accordingly.

Initial test:

Ideological and political theory

English one or? Russian or? Japanese or? Germany or? French

Fundamentals of Chinese and foreign art history

Modeling foundation

Politics and foreign languages are national examinations, so I won't say much here.

The basic reference books of Chinese and foreign art history are as follows:

When studying the history of Chinese and foreign art, don't turn over the books from the beginning. It's like building your own shelf, but you can't just have a shelf. Every knowledge point is like a commodity, but so many commodities cannot be put on the shelves at the same time. Put a little on each shelf first (remember a little), but make sure to save some every day so as not to get tired. When the outline is in two thirds, the most important thing is to find a classmate to output. This is very important. Freud divided human consciousness into conscious and subconscious. For memory, what can be expressed in words is really remembered. Output is to see what you remember, what you have subconsciously, but you can't express it.

Modeling foundation: sketch+sketch

Sketch: the initial trial of modeling foundation was not built in one day. My suggestion on this subject is to use more brains, because the intention is to write first, and classicism is an idea, not imitation. Once you find yourself copying a model, you are not far from death (exhausted "death"). The exam time in Tsinghua is very tight, and the initial exam is really tight. 3 hours, the model should rest for half an hour (5 minutes every 25 minutes), so consciousness is very important, and observation methods are also very important.

Sketch: It is recommended to practice sketching more, because sketching won't take up too much time. Draw an hour or two every day.
