Minneapolis College of Art and Design Interview suggestions:
Through the interview questions of the above two students, we can easily find that MCAD will pay more attention to students' on-site reaction ability and accumulated artistic knowledge in addition to the collection of works. The reason why students are asked to comment on a work on the spot is precisely because MCAD wants to see whether students have the spirit of free criticism and artistic innovation.
Since the postgraduate courses of MCAD are very special European mentors, students do not only follow specific professors in teaching, but hope that students can learn more from more artists and talents.
Therefore, in addition to the clear description of the process of their own work collection, it is more important for students to show their originality to the examiners.
