Today, natural light introduces a Interdisciplinary application for master's degree in illustration design Her experience is legendary. She found some favorite artists on her microblog and went to see their exhibition. One of these artists happened to be the art tutor of Natural Light, who came to Natural Light and became the artist's student. Let's share her today RCA Huangyi Illustrator Collection Training The heart of the journey.
Ruiqi, a student with a bachelor's degree in product design, applied for a master's degree in illustration after transferring to another major. Admission results: RCA Royal College of Arts LCC of London School of Communication, Kingston University 。
Ruiqi's original undergraduate major in product design was not her choice of subjective will, but a mistake. This is not an exception. There are a lot of natural light every year Application for studying abroad in art Of students, such as this year's Financial background Apply for graphic design after changing majors ， Industrial design to professional application jewelry design Etc.
There are some problems in the professional basis of the application for changing majors, but this background makes the instructors of natural light see the interdisciplinary quality different from other applicants. However, some of Ruiqi's undergraduate experiences have brought her the ability to think and criticize.
Ruiqi's Collected Works for Studying Abroad in Illustration
Ruiqi student: "In the first two years of college, I didn't make anything like a product. It was all about structure, splicing and material testing. I always wanted to make a real table or chair. Then I admired a teacher most, and completely gave up my idea of" making serious furniture ". Then I experienced a lot of thought collisions such as "Is a table really necessary?" and "What feeling do you want to convey from your sketches?". At that time, I felt that the meaning was unclear, and these probing questions were really difficult to answer. Finally, I made a table that can be opened and all the things on the table can be dumped. It feels like a grumpy machine, and this work will be broken after the exhibition. "
"I thought the whole process was like a textbook, and we should consider some issues such as user groups, what social phenomena to target, what problems to solve, and whether certain details are reasonable. But once being reminded, you can't ignore your feelings at any time. Just like the fable, an old man with a long beard bragged about how much care he had taken to maintain his beard. Suddenly someone asked him, "Where do you put your beard when you sleep?"? So he never slept well again. After finishing "lifting the table", we can't help thinking about our own preferences, which means we have too much to think about. With my personality, almost all of my works are biased towards the feeling that I like them. The so-called group and the problems to be solved are not considered, so many of them are not qualified. "
Ruiqi's Collected Works for Studying Abroad in Illustration
At the undergraduate stage, Ruiqi met a tutor who gave her a deconstructive thinking ability. Although she studied product design, she began to try deconstructive creation, and used abstract concepts to interpret products, cultivating a more artistic way of thinking.
This is also the advantage that the natural light tutor has found in her. Compared with students of the same age, Ruiqi Her way of thinking has stronger self-awareness. She often thinks about herself and the environment, interprets problems in a critical way, and then uses her works to complete the answer to the problem. As she said, "Almost all works are biased towards the feeling that they like, and the so-called group and the problem to be solved are not considered".
Ruiqi's Collected Works for Studying Abroad in Illustration
We have seen such advantages of her, and focus on magnifying her works to show the advantages of her ideological dimension as much as possible. And strong self-expression is also very preferred by foreign colleges and universities, which is always in front of natural light SVA New York School of Visual Arts Admissions Officer Chris, front Pratt College of Arts Admissions Officer Megan, and the front RISD Rhode Island School of Design Admissions Officer Kara, almost every month Admissions officer's portfolio review The meeting will emphasize this issue. The strong personality of the theme is one of the important qualities that can make the collection stand out.
"After working for a period of time before and after graduation, I finally decided that I should choose a favorite major. A lot of things happened during the decision to change my major. I found some favorite artists on Weibo, went to see their exhibitions, and then found more things I like. Among them, there are teachers Yu (Ruiqi's later instructor of illustration works) But at that time, I didn't know that I was so connected with her. I have not been satisfied with my design, because there is a topic about language violence, which may be more appropriate, but I haven't painted for a long time, so I don't have the courage to do it. I was hesitant when I went to Natural Light to sign up, but when I began to prepare the collection of overseas works of art for illustration majors, I really felt that I was most happy when I drew something. In short, I feel that life is on the right track. "
Like the section at the beginning of today's article, Ruiqi found an artist in an art exhibition, who was also the tutor of works collection of natural light. Later, she also became the tutor of Ruiqi's classmates, taking her to witness the frustrations and surprises on her dream path.
Under her guidance and inspiration, Ruiqi dared not write again when she first came to the natural light Collection of Art Studied Abroad in Illustration It was successfully completed and found the fun of illustration in the process of painting creation. Ruiqi found that she likes painting and art so much that painting can make her so happy and enjoyable.
Although the creation of the work collection is over, Ruiqi has completed a successful transformation through the guidance and inspiration of teachers and natural light, and she has also found her original dream. Illustration has brought her great fun, offers from RCA, LCC and Kingston, and enriched her life.
In the process of "exploration", Yu has always guided Ruiqi, hoping to broaden Ruiqi's creative ability and design thinking in this way.
During the teaching process, the teacher helped Ruiqi integrate the original product design discipline into the creation of the collection, making the collection more three-dimensional, full and deep. In fact, not only Ruiqi, but also a lot of natural light Cross discipline/zero foundation application However, no matter what kind of natural light is, it always insists on being conscientious and responsible.
