The art study abroad interaction design major is a new major that integrates multidisciplinary knowledge, so many undergraduate students can choose this new major. This article gives some application suggestions for undergraduate students to study abroad in interactive design! For students who want to learn art and study abroad interactive design, the following requirements should be noted:

Attention requirements for undergraduate interaction design study abroad:

1. Undergraduate students study traditional art and design, such as graphic design, advertising design, media, etc.

2. Undergraduate students study digital media, such as digital media, multimedia, new media, etc.

3. Undergraduate students study animation and film and television, such as 3D animation, film production, post production, etc.

4. Students majoring in IT.

5. In the above disciplines, the in-service staff with certain work experience can also choose to enrich their knowledge and inspiration through part-time learning.

6. Anyone who is interested in electronic art is recommended to have a certain foundation of art and design and some IT skills.

　 Interactive design is also very important for studying abroad: 　

Students learning interactive design will learn new media and interactive media design knowledge and related art knowledge on the one hand, and IT technology on the other hand, including programming and hardware application knowledge. It is an emerging art form that artists break through the traditional art media and present in the form of digital media with high-tech assistance.

For example, students need to give full play to their imagination and plan an interactive media project. In this interactive media project, various IT technologies need to be applied, such as virtual reality and augmented reality technology, LED hardware technology, projection technology, sensor technology, touch screen technology, etc.

1. Students should prepare their own collection of art works for studying abroad, a collection of art works for studying abroad that will open the door to enterprises.

2. Students who intend to engage in user experience design and interaction design need to enhance their soft power, such as insight, logical thinking ability, expression ability, etc. Students who intend to engage in multimedia design need to constantly update their hard power, such as software use ability, programming ability, etc. Of course, no matter what kind of work you are engaged in, you need to broaden your knowledge. Complex talents are what enterprises need most, and they are more likely to become leaders in enterprises.

3. Cultivate your character. In an enterprise, everyone is a process of cooperation. People with high affinity are more likely to be concerned by enterprise leaders and become leaders. Of course, it depends on your work. However, character is the key factor that can most affect your life path besides knowledge and ability. Sometimes it is more important than your knowledge and ability. I hope you will attach importance to your character cultivation.

The specialty of interaction design and electronic art is a very interesting specialty, such as processing, interactive installation art, acousto-optic and other knowledge, which you rarely contact in China.

　　 Some suggestions for art students studying interactive design:

1. Learn English well, because there are a large number of presentations in foreign courses, which can be more than 10 times a semester. Communication is essential.

2. Processing and arduino need to lay a foundation. In fact, these two programming languages are not difficult. They are designed for art students, so they are much simpler than computer professional programming languages.

3. Pay more attention to some public accounts of interactive art and cutting-edge technology, such as: Image Knight, Art and Design, 36 Krypton, IT Times Weekly, etc.

Therefore, students need to choose which way to choose according to their own actual situation. The above is all the contents of the interdisciplinary study of American interaction design graduate students. I hope it can be helpful for everyone to study interaction design in art study abroad.
