Many students who apply to study in the United States for art should know that many art colleges or comprehensive colleges in the United States will give additional questions for students who apply for undergraduate education in addition to the collection of works. How much do you know about the additional questions of Rhode Island School of Design besides the questions? With the change of additional questions, do you really understand the new questions? Today, we will discuss the additional questions about Rhode Island, and the inventory of three times of changing questions!
Rhode Island School of Design
Many students who have applied for RISD know that the additional questions for undergraduates over the years are one out of two:
A. Create a drawing instrument or tool, draw a picture with the drawing tool you created, and submit your original drawing and a picture or video of the instrument in SlideRoom.
B. Graphite pencil/gouache/watercolor and other media can be used to draw a bicycle, but oil paint and collage are not allowed. Keep in mind that no matter what medium you use, the surface must be stable and dry, and must be able to fold for easy delivery to RISD's office. Fold your paintings in half and then fold them in half to a size of 20cm x 25cm. Each painting should be marked with your full name, date of birth and address. The drawings mailed to the admissions office must be in the original form, and no copies of the original drawings should be submitted.
From the proposition of RISD over the years, the school wants to investigate students' observation ability and practical ability before enrollment, which is a must for first-year college students. However, with the development of the school, the proposition will also change, so Rhode Island replaced the additional questions over the years at the beginning of 2016, Change to one of three propositions: deconstruct, light, and contain.
Then at the beginning of 2017, the additional topic of one out of three was changed to: plastic, collect, threshold. There will be a misunderstanding here. These three topics are a range and direction, not equal to your conceptual theme. You need to prepare your own topic after completing the additional questions.
So what does it mean to change the additional questions at Rhode Island School of Design?
The replacement of additional questions first means that the school's assessment points for students have changed, and then the school's academic development trend has also changed. Many students have no idea how to start after getting the new proposition. Now let's interpret and analyze the three propositions of the latest additional question.
No matter in 16 or 17 years, although the title has changed, the form of additional questions has not changed. The three propositions can be understood as three partial assessment points, namely (light/plastic) assessment point - mastery+media application, (deconstruct/collect) assessment point - creative dimension+body structure understanding, and (contain/threshold) belong to abstract propositions, Assessment point - creative thinking+artistic expression ability. From the point of view of our analysis, it means that RISD has a higher level of ability test for freshmen, and it also means that RISD is becoming more experimental and conceptual. At the same time, I want to remind you that according to this trend, Rhode Island School of Design will change the topic every year, so students who get additional questions should not worry about it. Think back to the teacher's analysis. How to do each part, no matter which topic you choose to create, here can give you some suggestions.
16 year title light/17 year title plastic:
Since it is the assessment of proficiency+media application, it is suggested that students should focus on how to use light or plastic to think and associate, and express the concept theme of media because you want to express it in 2D/3D form.
16 year title deconstruct/17 year title collect:
We mentioned that the assessment point is creative thinking+body structure understanding, so your focus is how to achieve a certain art form through structural changes. 3D forms of expression are easier to start with as the entry point, such as devices/comprehensive materials, etc., depending on your own concept.
16 year title contains/17 year title threshold:
This part is an abstract proposition. It depends on how students understand it. Take the 17 year threshold as an example. The threshold can be a noun. The real assessment of thinking and artistic expression requires students to think carefully. How to achieve the visual transformation of abstract concepts is the key.
