Compared with pure arts majors in Japan and Europe, which art school is more pure? It is not difficult to draw a conclusion from today's professional comparison between Europe and Japan. In fact, the current pure art profession and not only various paintings and sculptures, including pure art under contemporary aesthetics, can be regarded as pure art as long as it can be presented through visual means or even more diversified media, and the way to judge whether it can be called pure art is:, Do you convey your personal ideas through the media.
For art students studying abroad, Fine Art has always been the goal of many students. Looking at the field of pure art in various universities, the scope of choice is also broader. In addition to the Ivy League countries like Britain and the United States, Europe and Japan have also received more and more attention from students studying abroad in recent years.
Looking back at pure art itself, it has a long history and high coverage. As far as Europe and Japan are concerned, both are the origins of art. Whether it is painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, drama, dance, The art and culture of Japan and Europe have left traces here and are enduring.
Compared with other design majors, pure art majors tend to be more self oriented. For example, pure art in British and American colleges focuses more on contemporary art, and extends to many interdisciplinary majors, leading some people to think that pure art in British and American style is not "pure" enough; Chinese colleges and universities do not subdivide the concept of pure art, which is based on traditional art concepts such as Chinese painting, sculpture and oil painting.
Europe and Japan are different from British and American universities. Similar to our concept of "tradition", they pay more attention to techniques, majors and art details. In addition to the common points of the general direction, the subdivisions are still somewhat different. The natural light today contrasts two universities in Europe and Japan horizontally, hoping to help students in the process of school selection~
European countries
As the birthplace of art, there are many top universities in European countries, and there are countless pure arts majors. Moreover, most of the universities have a high status in the European art world, especially in Italy, Germany, France and other art shrines. Today, we will start with the analysis of two top universities in Germany and Italy ：
UdK's educational characteristics are more dimensionally reflected in interdisciplinary practice, allowing students and teachers of different majors to carry out close cooperation across disciplines.
The modern teaching mode of Berlin University of the Arts, which breaks the traditional framework, can not only provide students with a broader vision of art and culture, but also open up students' new artistic creative thinking on the premise of harvesting artistic expressions.
The art form of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts began to evolve into a comprehensive form in the later period , began to integrate abstract art. Buddha and the United States strive to maintain the premise of tradition and hope to integrate with contemporary art, so plastic arts are the foundation of all arts, leading the world's ultra avant-garde art cognition. The college focuses on cultivating students' ability to appreciate and think about art.
Summary of European institutions
For students studying pure arts, learning environment and atmosphere are very important factors. Europe is the birthplace of the Renaissance, and its long history of education has created a cultural atmosphere different from that of other regions. Europe occupies a very important position in the world education system. European countries will also be more cost-effective than Britain and the United States.
In terms of application, Due to the richness of European languages, there are some language requirements In addition, in terms of the collection of works, art colleges and comprehensive colleges have high requirements on the applicants' personal collection of works. During the preparation process, how to put self-concept, experimental ideas, and how to properly use media to express ideas and criticize some things into the collection of personal works is the focus of the interviewer's assessment of the collection of works.
Florence Academy of Fine Arts and one of the world's top art schools in UK, In addition to its strong artistry, it also pays more attention to the social significance of pure art And will pay attention to the use of multimedia. Therefore, in the pure arts majors in European countries, students will not only learn art theories, but also have ample opportunities to create art.
Asia Japan
Compared with the "realistic" style of European countries, Japanese pure art seems to be more "traditional" We can see this from a group of Japanese artists who represent the feelings of craftsmen. Due to the particularity of Japanese teaching, under the leadership of different professors in different universities and even in the monk stage, the style, tendency and field are also different. Today, we selected two representative universities to analyze:
Tokyo University of the Arts
Tokyo University of the Arts
Dongyi University is still the only national art university in Japan. As one of the major planning colleges in Japan, its status needs no further comment. While Chunyi is a relatively authoritative major in Dongyi, its high requirements are proportional to the admission rate, but it can't stop it from becoming a popular major. Now let's take a look at the division of pure arts ：
The pure arts majors of Dongyi are: Japanese painting, oil painting, sculpture, craft, design, architecture, cutting-edge art performance, art. In the Pure Art Department, a large number of famous Japanese contemporary artists and design researchers were gathered, The direction of art research not only retains the traditional Japanese aesthetics, but also integrates the advanced western art design concepts.

Summary of Japanese institutions
From the overall analysis of the pure arts majors in the above two top art colleges, it is not difficult to see that, compared with the realism of European colleges, the pure arts majors in Japanese colleges focus on the inheritance and development of Japanese traditional arts, which is a manifestation of the protection of traditional culture and the reason why it is more "traditional".
For contemporary art, Japan is a country that has earlier contact with Asia, More emphasis on tradition and craftsmanship However, there is no special contemporary art college in Japan at present. Most colleges and universities take the professor studio system as the unit, and focus more on art inheritance and learning.
Summary of the comparison of Japanese and European pure arts majors
It is not difficult to draw a conclusion from today's professional comparison between Europe and Japan. In fact, the current pure art profession and not only all kinds of painting and sculpture, including pure art under contemporary aesthetics, can be regarded as pure art as long as it can be presented through visual means or even more diversified media, The way to judge whether it can be called pure art is whether your personal ideas are transmitted through the media.
In a word, pure art itself knows no borders and forms, and there is no difference between the strength and weakness of art schools in various countries. Therefore, students should be more targeted in the choice of professional direction and colleges.
