The art study abroad trial class is a way for art study abroad institutions. Many parents choose institutions after the art study abroad trial! However, there are also many pitfalls in the auditions of art overseas study institutions. In particular, students applying for undergraduate courses are generally high school students, who do not have enough research on their professional orientation and industry, and their parents are almost the same. Unlike undergraduate students applying for master's degree, they consider everything comprehensively. Today, let's see how to choose a good art overseas institution through trial.

　　 As a whole, the art study abroad industry is relatively new. Even the parents of highly educated families can help their children to choose institutions more positively, but many of them are trapped.

What are the pitfalls? After students and parents arrive at the institution, the first person they meet is the consulting teacher, and the second is the teacher of the audition class. The audition class will largely determine whether a student will sign up with the institution.

Everyone prepares the application Art study abroad Students who have asked for help from art institutions must have heard the auditions. Most of the auditions in formal institutions are free. Many students feel that, Anyway, it's a random audition, so it doesn't really matter.

Generally speaking, the teacher who arranges the audition is the teacher that students will follow in the later period. But as far as I know, some small studios will have full-time teachers who are responsible for auditioning, After students sign a contract, other teachers will be arranged for formal classes.

For example, a student I received last year signed a contract with a small studio before coming to Natural Light. At that time, the student was very satisfied with the teacher after the audition and felt that it was suitable for him, so he signed a contract. Unexpectedly, after the formal class, the teacher changed. At first, the students thought that they might not adapt to the teacher's teaching method, and planned to run in first.

But after several classes, the results are still not ideal. The teachers in the small studio are limited, and there are no other teachers for students to choose from. They can only stop the loss in time when they find that it is really impossible to run in. It took nearly three months to make the refund, which not only delayed the application of students in the same year, but also left a thick psychological shadow for students. When we came to the natural light consultation, we repeatedly confirmed that the teacher of the audition class was the teacher and would not change the teacher at will. Then we began the class with confidence.

It seems that the audition class "Cheap" and "easy to get"

But actually

If you want to really learn art and lay a good foundation

Long term development on the road of art

There is one A reliable teacher very important

Especially some Students with zero foundation The audition is equivalent to the first in-depth contact. Everyone knows The key to artistic enlightenment The first class has the greatest impact on students' consciousness. From this, it can be seen that the seemingly inconspicuous auditions are very important for both the choice of institutions and individual students.

　　 For students applying for master's degree Since the application focuses on the reflection of professionalism and overall thinking and ability, most of the requirements for teachers are focused on the professional degree of teachers.

At the same time, most of the students who apply for graduate school have an artistic foundation Basic professional judgment. Even if you change your major The students who have studied their major in advance also have a clear understanding of their expected development direction, so they can clearly choose suitable teachers for themselves.

　　 But students applying for undergraduate courses A large part of them are entry-level students without foundation. They do not know their major, nor do they have a clear understanding of the whole art field. They are even confused about their goals and future. Therefore, parents' assistance is often needed in selecting teachers.

Because of the "introduction", teachers are required to be more professional and have strong teaching ability, communication ability and guidance ability. Therefore, For undergraduates, the audition course is relatively more important.

But I still Strongly recommended

Students who apply for undergraduate or graduate programs

Try to Before selecting mechanism

Have a trial class first!

First of all, from the perspective of institution selection Professionalism and teaching ability , which can represent an organization Core strength It is also the most important factor to consider when deciding whether to sign a contract.

From the perspective of students, auditions can help students better understand institutions and teachers, and judge whether they want to choose institutions to do collections. Taking more auditions from different institutions will also help Compare with each other and choose the best one for yourself.

Secondly, the teacher who gives you an audition will become the tutor of your work collection after eliminating such factors as students' poor running in, asking for a change of teacher, or transferring to the campus. This is a good opportunity to get in touch with teachers and get to know each other. The teacher will evaluate your work in the first contact and understand your character, advantages and disadvantages. You can also Evaluate the teacher in the course.

What needs to be emphasized here is that, due to the particularity of art education compared with other major types of education, in the educational concept of natural light, the most fundamental thing in art cannot be "taught", and art education should not be crammed or reversed. It's Fumigation, arousal, influence and guidance Therefore, the relationship between teachers and students is not only a teacher-student relationship, but also a partnership in studio. The teacher will guide students to spread their thinking, unlock their creativity, put forward opinions in key nodes, and lead students to the right direction. As an important role to accompany students' progress in the future, the tutor certainly needs to be well chosen.

Natural light art is the first admissions officer alliance to study abroad

As our title says today, I met a parent whose family is overseas, so the audition can only be online, and the children can only return home during the summer vacation to teach the courses. Due to geographical restrictions, children's time is more valuable than that of ordinary students, so they are very strict in selecting institutions. They will accompany their children to attend each trial class. Thus, it took more than a month of "trial study" before they decided to choose natural light.

Like the students in this case, He has the background of a foreign high school, is familiar with the foreign education model, and is a highly educated family, although overseas Parents can also help their children choose institutions in a positive way.

So, let's try to think about whether every student and parent

Can judge the teacher's Professional level

and Teaching ability What about? The answer is no

Listen to the students' Age, art cognition level, education level, ability to accept new things And so on are important factors for making judgments. Make correct judgments on teachers' teaching ability and professional level through audition. Even for very experienced education practitioners, the accuracy rate cannot be guaranteed 100%, because it is easy to cause misjudgment due to various intervention factors.

So, if we want to find the most reliable teacher, we should From which aspects, can you judge whether a teacher is suitable for you with the greatest probability in a class?

　　 first It depends on whether the teacher can use complete and accurate professional words and concepts to explain relevant knowledge points. secondly Whether the teacher can correctly and effectively explain and demonstrate the relevant software or technical points required by the specialty, such as Human computer interaction design Most of the student courses involve some programming knowledge, and excellent interaction design instructors have these "additional skills" at the same time. again It refers to whether the teacher can accurately judge the students' understanding of knowledge, and can effectively answer the students' questions in a clear and understandable way when the students have doubts or ask questions. If you do the above, you can be regarded as a teacher who has passed the pass line.

　　 More powerful teacher Not only through communication, Understand students' aesthetic appreciation and preference in art And can also carry out artistic creation of students according to their own personality, interests, advantages and disadvantages Better mining and guidance Instead of the assembly line, teach children to make collections of works of the same style. Not only that, good art teachers will set an example while guiding artistic creation It affects the students' thinking mode and their view of things, To grow into a better person, let students Progress consciously, voluntarily and freely But at the same time, the students cultivated by good teachers are not others, but people with their own unique personality.

It has become popular in the market recently "Try to learn" , mainly small studios, in order to expand the source of students, launched a free one month trial activity. To some extent, this form of enrollment may seem attractive, but if you choose an institution to provide welfare for this purpose, it is not guaranteed.

First of all, from the perspective of the commercial market, such "free trial" will stimulate people to "impulse consumption", and many students will feel that learning is not worth learning. But in fact, even a small organization needs operating costs. The cost of necessary hardware facilities includes the site, water and electricity, studio equipment, and the software part includes personnel, teachers, publicity, etc. This model has obtained a large number of student resources in the short term, but it is not a long-term solution.

In this way, the operating pressure of the small studio is gradually increasing. For students, it is also a time bomb that will explode at any time. In addition to the difficulties in ensuring the future, there are many uncertainties, In fact, the biggest defect is that it is difficult to give students the ability to practice projects with high competitive advantages 。

Of course, the natural light did not achieve the current scale at the beginning. From the small studio five years ago to the eight campuses now, it has always maintained its original intention and adhered to the original principles in the trial classes. After the comprehensive upgrade of product system 4.0 The National Teaching and Research Center is responsible for supervising teaching quality , research and development of interdisciplinary characteristic courses linking domestic and foreign, and then The teaching and research team leaders of the six major departments, overseas returnee tutors, and special skill tutors provide one-on-one tutoring to students to ensure the triple guarantee of ideas, majors, and skills.

Although the six major departments are subdivided into director, team leader, tutor and other roles, this division is to better distinguish the functions and give students the most targeted professional guidance, rather than grading, so in teaching, the class hours will not be more expensive because a teacher is the department head.

During the audition, no matter who the teacher is Treat every student and every course with a unified teaching standard . We will not reserve the "free" audition class, or give a special favor to attract students to sign a contract before switching to another teacher.

Returning to the initial question, the art study abroad industry is relatively new as a whole, so it is inevitable that some thunder will be easily trampled on, but art study abroad is a very serious matter, involving children's life. Whether it is students themselves, their parents, or art collection organizations, art instructors, they all need to work together to ensure the future of students. The art study abroad trial class may be your first step towards top colleges. I hope you can make a good identification and use the trial class to select the most suitable organization and teacher.
