This year, for art students, it can be said that it is a live version of the "survival of the Jedi", but the enemy we have to face is the COVID-19 epidemic. We know that at such a critical moment, any influence or decision may affect the life of a future "artist". So we don't have the heart to let the students who are ready to study in the arts or stay in the domestic arts exam take those detours that "could have been avoided". How to deal with the domestic online art examination? Today we bring some rational suggestions to students from a professional perspective.

　　 How to deal with the domestic online art examination?

Art enrollment for college entrance examination (domestic art examination). At this time of the past year, students who chose to take the art examination should have finished the college entrance examination one after another, and are ready to return to school to review cultural lessons to meet the college entrance examination. However, due to the impact of the epidemic this year, Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, Central America, Gome, Chuanmei, Guangmei and others have announced to postpone the art major examination for undergraduate enrollment in 2020.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Education announced that in principle, no on-site college entrance examination would be organized before this year's college entrance examination, and encouraged colleges and universities to adopt off-site assessment methods such as submission of candidates' works, online video interviews, etc.

As it is still unknown whether the college entrance examination will be held successfully this year, the entrance examination for art majors is far away. The online examination and work submission mode is even stranger to students. At present, the probability of school entrance examination for art students this year will be changed to the following three modes:

First, after the epidemic, a unified on-site school examination will be conducted after the college entrance examination.

Second, online school examination and video interview.

Third, refer to the results of the provincial unified examination as the primary conditions, and conduct the second round of school examination after screening.

　　 If you can't understand the online exam, you are worried about the influence:

In fact, online examination, submission of works and video interview are relatively unfamiliar concepts to students who are preparing for the art examination in China and do not plan to go abroad. But for Art study abroad For students in the direction, this is the only way for them to apply for foreign universities all the time. So is it really so difficult to submit works and video interviews online?

The answer is no. In addition to the different ways of submission, the rest, whether it is the use of inspiration or the teacher's review of works, can be said that there is almost no essential difference from offline examinations and interviews. At present, what students need to do most is to adapt to and transform this "exam taking" method in a short time.

First of all, whether online or offline, the final inspection standards of the school are unchanged. Compared with foreign art colleges, they focus on creativity, inspiration and students' personal characteristics. At present, although the gap between domestic institutions and foreign institutions in terms of education methods after enrollment has been reduced, the traditional "exam oriented" mode of China is still followed in terms of enrollment assessment.

Therefore, students who prepare for the exam at present, no matter how the exam is conducted, should seize the needs of colleges and universities and practice preparing for the exam calmly, so that they can respond to changes with the same attitude.

The second point is about some skills of online examination, submission of works and interview. As we said earlier, whether online or offline, the points to be reviewed by the school remain unchanged. Although we all understand the truth, students will find it difficult to adapt to the different ways.

However, we, who have sufficient experience in online college assessment, give the students the first suggestion. We must practice without panic and tension. Panic and nervousness are the biggest enemies of art examination. If you really feel unable to adapt, you can simulate the online interview and examination, and do more exercises at ordinary times to try to adapt to such a way.

The second point is that if you submit online portfolio, you must pay attention to it Composition design of works Clean and beautiful. Just as the college entrance examination teacher repeatedly stressed the score of the exam, the art exam also has the invisible option of "score of the exam". Although it may be said that we don't expect neat and simple typesetting to add points to us, at least we can't subtract points from students' works because of typesetting.

　　 For those who want to "muddle through" with a fluke mentality:

In the face of online assessment, students must also worry about "fairness". Whether it is the submission of work collection, online examination, or video interview, I feel that I have lost the serious atmosphere of the examination room, and it is easy for students who are passive and have a bad idea to take advantage of the loopholes. This is a bit unfair for students who study hard and prepare for the exam.

In this regard, first of all, the official of the Ministry of Education has given a clear commitment and guarantee. Secondly, we can also tell the students from the experience of online review of overseas colleges and universities that there may be the possibility of cheating and taking chances in the cultural examination, but there is absolutely no room for the art class to take such a test that emphasizes the foundation and tests the basic skills.

First of all, the examiner's years of educational experience shows that it is clear at a glance whether several works were painted by the same student, and the subsequent online interview can also help the teacher judge again. And then even if a student narrowly evades these two rounds of review, the gap in basic skills cannot fool the teacher in the subsequent entrance test and classroom.

In the official answer to students' questions, the Ministry of Education also said that it would strengthen the review of art examinations. Even if students have been admitted, if there is a large difference in their scores, they will be disqualified and dealt with according to law.

Seeing this, I hope that students who are worried about the fairness of the exam can breathe a sigh of relief. After all, for so many years, online review has always been the way to enroll top overseas institutions. Since it has existed for so many years and has not been replaced, there must be reasons to maintain fairness and rationality. Students need not be too anxious about this. It is the most important thing to prepare for the exam and ensure that no matter what form of exam can be played stably.

　　 For you who are upset about your test preparation plan:

At present, it is not only the students who are anxious, but also the universities and the Ministry of Education. It is unknown whether the college entrance examination can be successfully held and how it will be held, and the art school entrance examination is far away.

Students must believe that in the face of such a situation, colleges and universities must be more anxious than we are, and they want to determine the time and method of candidates as soon as possible. In the announcement of the Ministry of Education, it is also repeatedly stressed that colleges and universities need to determine the time and method of assessment as soon as possible, so that candidates can plan the arrangements for test preparation in advance.

The previous two days, the online consultation activity for art examinees this year was also officially launched on the "Sunshine College Entrance Examination" information platform. From March 16 to April 15, every day, colleges and universities related to art enrollment will answer questions for students online. Students who have doubts about related aspects should remember to log in their Xuexin account for online inquiry during this period.

This arrangement is also intended to ease the tension and anxiety of students after their plans are disrupted to the greatest extent. And it is not anxiety that can wait for the result at the moment, so instead of repeatedly immersing in negative emotions, it is better to adjust the mentality, as we said earlier, to cope with changes by keeping the same.

We believe that students who can calm down to learn art must have more toughness and endurance than ordinary students, and at such a moment, it is also a kind of temper for students' temperament. We sincerely hope that every student can adjust his/her rhythm as soon as possible, accept the fact of changes, and show his/her best level no matter what the form of this year's art exam is!
