With the current epidemic situation, the education situation at home and abroad is very serious. With the continuous adjustment of overseas policies, the number of art students applying for the UK direction has increased dramatically, and the policy of the United States on international students has only recently been eased.
Art examination and art study abroad
The demand of the domestic employment market is becoming smaller, which makes it difficult for many graduates to find jobs. This has led to a sharp increase in the number of postgraduate candidates this year. Although the number of colleges and universities has increased in response to the country, it still cannot meet the increase in the number of applicants. The road to study is extremely hard, and the upcoming art exam is also different from previous years.
In 2021, the Ministry of Education will reform the policy of art examination
It is difficult to take examinations in China, and the pressure of studying abroad in art is not small this year. However, the gap between art education at home and abroad is also narrowing. The domestic design industry is gradually becoming diversified, and the British and American design industry is leading the world.
So at the crossroads of life, how should we choose?
The trend of art examination is severe year by year
Basically, the unified examination of fine arts in all provinces and cities is drawing to a close, and everyone is anxiously waiting for the release of the results of the unified examination. At this time last year, everyone was preparing for school enrollment, but this year, due to policy adjustment, except some art colleges, Most colleges and universities directly refer to the provincial unified examination results and expand the professional scope of provincial unified examination.
The number of people taking the art examination this year reached 1.17 million, and the policy clearly stated that The provincial recruitment committee should adjust measures to local conditions, classify and delimit, and gradually improve the admission control score line of cultural courses in the college entrance examination for arts majors.
This means that this year, you can not only improve your grades, but also try to get higher scores and rankings, so that you can get the qualification notice of your ideal university.
The only 48 open schools in China
Online examination is mostly adopted for preliminary examination
And cancel the college entrance examination for art theory majors
For the first time, the art examinees who contacted online audit could not avoid being a little confused. In fact, this method is somewhat similar to that of studying abroad in art. According to the requirements of the school, the collection of works will be submitted and reviewed online by professional teachers. This shows that domestic colleges and universities pay more attention to the quality of students' works, and high-quality works are used to judge whether students meet the requirements of colleges and universities. Then go through the interview and assessment, and determine whether the certificate can be issued.
According to the reform requirements, there will be two major trends in the 2021 art examination: first, the proportion of cultural courses will increase significantly, and second, the unified examination will be strengthened. For art students, this is a narrow wooden bridge, but now two pieces of wood are missing.
From the above policy reform, we can see that the selection of art majors in colleges and universities has begun to pay more attention to the artistic and cultural literacy of examinees, focusing on the long-term development of students. According to the comprehensive consideration of the students' achievements in art courses and culture courses, they are selected to be admitted.
It can be seen that if the cultural course score of the art and design examinees is less than 75% of the second level in the province, it is almost impossible! So we can enter the state of preparing for the college entrance exam after taking the art exam.
Students should not be too anxious. First, they should prepare well for the exam. Second, they should not bear too much psychological burden. There is more than one way to realize their artistic dreams! We can also choose art study abroad to experience the most avant-garde and high-quality teaching resources and artistic power in top foreign art colleges.
Overseas design works attract much attention
The art design level of Britain and the United States has always been in the leading position in the world, and the country has also constantly encouraged students to study abroad to learn the most advanced and excellent design knowledge.
Based on the current special circumstances, the second Future Lab of Art and Design Innovation opened in Shanghai. Experts and students from universities and research institutions at home and abroad jointly form exhibitions, forums and other plates.
They not only displayed the world's most cutting-edge scientific research ideas and excellent works, but also shared Under the influence of the epidemic, teaching practice and thinking at home and abroad cross the border, and jointly explore the future oriented education of diversified art and design.
Nearly 20 participating colleges and universities presented their latest creation and teaching experience in various disciplines, including visual arts, new media research, architecture and design, in their respective planned exhibitions. Across painting, interaction, video, costume design, dance design and other disciplines Today's domestic art students and overseas students have unique design creativity and excellent design thinking.

Affected by the epidemic, most art and design schools around the world failed to hold their graduation works exhibition as scheduled this year, and they can only present their students' graduation works in the form of online exhibition. In this special case, FutureLab Education Expo specially planned and prepared the "2020 Fresh Chinese Graduates Exhibition at Home and Abroad", and began to conduct a global public solicitation in June, and finally presented an on-site graduation exhibition that can't be missed at the exhibition in December.

Among them, the Royal College of Art, Glasgow College of Art, Milan Polytechnic University School of Design, Wimbledon School of Art, London University of the Arts and Goldsmith College, London University participated in the exhibition as a group, bringing outstanding graduation works of various majors. prominent Chinese overseas students who graduated from overseas art and design are different from the latest design concepts in China, which drive the design thinking of the whole society.
Compared with design education at home and abroad, especially in interdisciplinary design and digital interaction, British American College Campus Different from domestic teaching achievements, More emphasis on application , which has great advantages for future employment and promotion of design force. From this point of view, the gap between domestic and foreign design education is mainly reflected in thinking. Today, society no longer simply needs aesthetic satisfaction, but More tend to design the promotion of soft power for the development of the whole society.

Art Examination VS Art Study Abroad
No matter from the perspective of educational philosophy or design thinking, it is obvious that there are still some differences at home and abroad. The most important factors for domestic students to choose are: difficulty in applying, educational resources and employment.
1、 Teaching resources
Nowadays, the domestic art design is booming and catching up, but there is still a gap compared with the foreign art environment. Design in Britain and the United States developed earlier, with a deep artistic accumulation. The blessing of world-class masters and world-famous designers has added more high-quality power to teaching resources.
Many students who study design in China are suffering from learning skills in school and become "design workers" after graduation. This is also a big difference in teaching at home and abroad. British and American art schools advocate spreading students' design creativity, developing students' ability to find inspiration independently, so that everyone can find their own design style according to their own interests . This has really realized the design purpose to a great extent.
Contact with leading brands and well-known design studios, you can know the development trend of the current market, brand building, design concepts, etc. in advance, find your own problems and shortcomings through practice, and promote yourself. It's not just Increasing design experience is also the key to improving individual learning ability.
2、 Application difficulty
Many art students will also be confused about whether it will be difficult to apply for overseas colleges, but in fact it is not. Basically, the art students who took the art examination had a good foundation in hand painting, but they lacked the ability to find inspiration and design thinking that met the requirements of overseas colleges and universities.
This is also the key point for the teaching and research team of Natural Light Arts to help students in their tutoring and teaching. Previously, a series of humanistic thinking courses were launched in the study of Natural Light Art.
ONE School - Humanity Speculative Course
Humanistic speculative courses play a vital role in the overseas art education system. Through different modules, majors, and dimensional courses, we can help students quickly adapt to foreign diversified learning modes, establish clear and accurate artistic creation plans, and comprehensively strengthen students' interdisciplinary creative ability in terms of thinking, skills, and practice.
In fact, it is not difficult to study abroad in art, even easier than the art examination. Suggest students Plan in advance and control the curriculum. In the stage of making a portfolio Earnestly research and dig for creative inspiration . In the experiment, we should consider more choices, Start with details , complete the portfolio project perfectly.
When preparing documents, all aspects should be prepared in advance. Fully communicate with teachers, Break professional barriers and realize discipline interaction And turn weaknesses into advantages. As long as you take it seriously, it is very promising to apply to the ideal college!
Moreover, there are many art schools to choose from all over the world, including a large number of top art schools in the world from Britain, America and Eurasia. As long as you are interested in applying, you can Apply to multiple colleges and universities at the same time The success rate of the application is much higher than that of the domestic art examination.
3、 Employment advantages
Many top art schools will provide many There are also opportunities to participate in world-class competitions and internships in famous enterprises. This is very helpful for adapting to the market and being forward-looking in the industry. In this context, After returning home, art students have an absolute advantage in the job market.
Today's domestic employment market still has a strong demand for overseas students. Today, overseas returnee graduates have improved their overall self-awareness and have a clear position on themselves. because Language advantage, broad vision and strong critical thinking ability Therefore, high-quality enterprises with international elements in various industries are very friendly to art students.
Overseas art and design in teaching Pay more attention to cultivating students' creativity and design thinking In today's social development, thinking is far more important than technology. In addition, priority is often given to those with the same conditions when recruiting Social practical experience and certain organizational and management skills People.
This requires foreign students to pay attention to cultivating their ability to adapt to society and integrate into society before employment. Therefore, there are many convenient conditions in choosing art to study abroad, which cannot be provided to students by domestic universities.
From this analysis, it can be seen that the art examination or art study abroad is not a contest, but a choice. There is nothing wrong with preparing for the art exam and studying in domestic art schools, but it is by no means the only way for art students to go to the palace of dreams.
But we should not decide our own life direction just because of the success or failure of the art exam. Don't be too nervous and overloaded. These are indispensable experiences in life. If the result of the art examination is not ideal, or you feel that overseas universities are more suitable for your development, you can choose to devote yourself to studying abroad without hesitation.
Over the years, Natural Light Art has been committed to providing art students with a platform for artistic creation and future development, and providing one-stop counseling and application services for art students who want to study abroad. Comprehensively covering six major departments, it has gathered senior instructors from top art schools at home and abroad, as well as guidance and review of overseas admissions officers' portfolios, in-depth linkage of top schools, internship opportunities for top 500 enterprises, workshops, resident practice projects, etc. Let students improve their design ability in application and reap the offers of ideal colleges!
