　　 "Choosing an illustration major is my dream!"

I am a person who loves life very much, and my life is full of art. In addition to learning, my favorite is Paint what you see, hear and feel Over time, I found that my world became extremely brilliant because of painting. In addition, I also play musical instruments, write songs and raise pets.

I grew up at the foot of Mount Tai, so nature is full of magic for me. Every tree, every branch, every life and every light will stimulate my passion for creation and become an image on my drawing board.

In fact, I wanted to choose illustration as an undergraduate, but what I learned in the domestic illustration major was not what I wanted, so I followed the advice of my sister and comprehensively considered the choice Major in game design.

Over the past four years, the courses included in the game major have enabled me to master 2D and 3D, and I have gained a lot. In the last year, I carefully examined my future development. I have never forgotten my original dream of illustration. therefore I have chosen art study abroad and am ready to apply for a graduate student majoring in illustration design in the UK!

　　 "The key to success is to abandon the purpose and sincerity"

I came to study in Natural Light Art last year. One year is not only for me to complete the application and production projects, but more importantly Let me confirm my original purpose of learning and complete design thinking 。

I think the results are important. No one doesn't want to get an offer from a favorite college through their own efforts. But if you only focus on the results, you often lose your original intention and the process will not be perfect.

I am an interdisciplinary applicant, but my foundation is fairly good. In addition, I have never given up painting works in recent years. So I spent a lot of time Dig deep inspiration, do more research, and keep experimenting 。

In the whole learning process, my autonomy is relatively strong. While guiding the teaching, teachers need to think by themselves and diverge their thinking. Only by improving one's own subjective initiative can one maximize the application of what he has learned. Also, I have repeatedly stressed that you should not care too much about the results in your study. You should believe that you will not regret until you pay enough attention and efforts in your creation.

　　 "My inspiration comes from the constant problems in life"

Many students get stuck in inspiration when making projects. Either there is no inspiration, or inspiration cannot fall.

When I was making a collection of works, I was guided by the overseas teachers of Natural Light Art, Starting from oneself, find the points of interest in life, or suspicious phenomena and problems In fact, there are many things worth thinking about and solving around us, but they have not been explored.

　　 1、 Starting from the point of interest

My first project is about animals and humans. Because I am kind to nature, and I like small animals very much. So I made a map of animals, Exchange human and animal roles in the form of maps Let animals live instead of human beings, and explore the animal nature of human beings.

　　 2、 Starting from personal experience

The second project is to produce a children's picture book with an emotional theme of "humans and pets". Starting from personal experience I have a little black dog who accompanies me to the age of 18. There is no substitute for the relationship between him and me.

So based on such full emotional experience, I created a dog image of "Xiao Hei". The story of Xiao Hei kept absorbing the negative emotions of the protagonist. Finally, the little owner found out and helped him to expel these "harmful emotions" and grow up together in harmony.

　　 3、 Trace the design source

My third project was started during the epidemic. At first, I wanted to create a group Illustration works about people's mental outlook and emotions The theme of emotion is used frequently by people. I was wondering how to make new ideas and make people more sympathetic.

So I read a lot of existing image works about emotion, but my tutor told me that, Don't imitate. Don't be trapped by ready-made works. Go back to the source of this emotional image.

With the correct guidance of the teacher, I began to investigate a large number of artistic images about emotions in ancient China, ancient Egypt and other cultures. On this basis, I have produced eight emotional works with great resonance.

　　 "Actually, I don't like collaboration, but I challenge interdisciplinary!"

The Dream School I applied for is Huangyi, so I consider the colleges and universities Focus on interdisciplinary projects So I chose to participate in an interdisciplinary project with strong collaboration.

Personally, I am not good at collaboration, but I know that the weak points are often the most brilliant ones after breakthroughs in the future. So I took part in the interdisciplinary project of natural light art study abroad under the teacher's advice. Among them, I The project of "Information Iceberg" was completed in collaboration with students majoring in space design.

This interdisciplinary project is information oriented, with the "Room N Event" as the background, Around the information age, people are controlled by mobile phones and other electronic devices. More and more people are hiding behind the network and making a three-dimensional book.

I didn't know much about the design of informatization at first, but the tutor of Natural Light Art who studied abroad was very conscientious and responsible, patiently explained to me, gave me some materials for reference, and made constructive suggestions. Finally, with our joint efforts, we completed this interdisciplinary project, which is also a big breakthrough for me.

In addition to interdisciplinary projects, you need to prepare a 2min video I also have some personal opinions for you.

I will not emphasize the fluent language and clear thinking. Content Don't pay too much attention to formal things , do not need too gorgeous background, clean and tidy. It doesn't need much complicated editing technology. It's natural Explain your portfolio project and plan for future learning 。

also Don't deliberately tout colleges and majors , as long as you clearly explain the specific reasons for choosing this major. must do Have a deep understanding of the works, and express their own ideas and opinions 。

　　 My application tips

In fact, studying abroad in art is not a forced way, but an indispensable direction in the future life journey. I love life rather than illustration . Not result oriented, enjoy the process, even if nothing passes the exam, I will be happy to go home and farm.

Without the pressure and fear of the results, you will find that you are more comfortable to learn and create, and the works you get are the most representative of your own art.

　　 Illustration is only a medium, and it is important to convey morality through this medium To express the theme of the work and finally realize the value of design. Try to think independently, and put sincerity and boundless enthusiasm into the creation, and your offer will naturally come to you.
