1. Conditions for studying abroad for Japanese arts

1. Language ability

Art students studying in Japan have higher requirements for Japanese than for culture courses and English. Most schools have no rigid requirements for English and culture courses, and Japan's requirements will be lower than those for ordinary culture students.

2. Portfolio

This is an important material that art students need to submit when applying, and it is also the most important position in all the materials. Because the evaluation criteria of art portfolios are different due to the different personal styles and preferences of professors, the difficulty is that there is no clear testing standard, so students should have a targeted portfolio training.

In order to better understand the professors' styles and preferences, art students generally choose language schools with art guidance, such as Meros, Medullimo, Waseda EDU, Yokohama Design, etc. These schools are quite effective in helping students' portfolios.

3. Selection of institutions

Universities with art majors in Japan are divided into comprehensive universities, art universities and specialized schools. Comprehensive universities are just as their names suggest, and art universities are well understood, such as Central Academy of Fine Arts, China Academy of Fine Arts, various conservatories of music and various drama schools.

Specialized schools exist in Japan like gods, which are very professional and can really learn skills and skills or crafts. The academic qualifications of specialized schools are not recognized in China.

4. Entrance Examination

Generally, Japanese art universities have their own separate examinations. All subjects pass the examinations of "essay", "interview" and "art test" (taking the Department of Visual Communication as an example, a three-hour sketch exam and a three-hour color composition exam). During the interview, they are generally required to bring some of their own works, and some schools have to bring them in the written application materials. Japanese ability accounts for a very important proportion in the interview, and the professor will judge whether the students can successfully complete the tasks assigned by the teacher in the future courses and whether the communication with classmates is smooth according to the students' listening and speaking ability.

In terms of entrance examination, Japan and China are basically similar, and the assessment standards for cultural courses have been relaxed, so that the corresponding Japanese level and Japanese scores for staying in the examination should be guaranteed.

Some majors (whether they are purely artistic or not), such as architecture and industrial design, require cultural courses in addition to Japanese and professional courses.

Portfolio, sketch, etc. are also the key points, and systematic and centralized training is needed to meet the requirements.

5. Interview

This is also a necessary and important link. First, students should be tested to have a good comprehensive level of Japanese, including speaking and listening. In addition, they should have their own opinions on their own works. Take art as an example, they should not only be able to speak, but also be able to express their creative ideas and ideas.
