　　 4、 Why go to an American school to study art?

The United States is a country with a comprehensive collection of cultures. They allow a variety of different forms of culture and art to blend, so they provide adequate support for more types.

　　 5、 How difficult is it to study art in American schools?

Some people say that it is very, very difficult for a few people to go out, let alone get a scholarship. This is a misconception. First, the number of art students is very low compared with other major subjects. Second, many people do not understand the application and admission of American schools, leading to misinformation.

　　 6、 Post graduation salary

It's hard to say, but now it seems that art colleges like this. For example, the starting salary of students in general professional colleges is only $20000 to $40000 after graduation, but it is quite common in schools where the average salary of students can reach $200000 10 years later, but UNIV is different. You have completed MA, PHD The starting salary may be 40000 to 80000 yuan, but after 10 years, the average salary will be maintained at this level, with a slight increase. If you are interested in salary, you should consider the school in addition to personal factors.

　　 7、 Application requirements for studying in the United States:

　　 1. Language test:

Undergraduate students must take the TOEFL exam with a score of 80-100. It is ok to take the SAT exam from 1900-2000. Some colleges and universities do not require the SAT exam, which is subject to the official website of the school.

Postgraduate or above, must take the TOEFL exam, and the score should not be less than 100, the higher the better; The GRE score is uncertain, and it is not a key reference object, so it is appropriate; If the SUB is a clear professional, it must be tested, and the best score is high. Those who are partial to theory see this very much; GMAT, some universities have some majors such as art management, which require examination, and this score is relatively important.

　　 2、GPA：

The GPA of a university is a big head, but the professional evaluation is uncertain, which is of little significance to some schools. Moreover, half of the students may come from such schools as radio and television, Central America, or art schools of some famous universities. Which school has no impact on admission, and the ranking is not important. Try to get a decent score, which will not make the other school think you are incompetent.

　　 3. Recommendation:

In fact, the recommendation letter is quite useful, because the art is straightforward. If someone appreciates it, it will be good. If no one appreciates it, it will be bad. It is better to find a respected person to write, especially in the eyes of American schools, who has relative weight. It is not helpful to find your own teacher to write. The main thing is to evaluate your developable ability and existing achievements. Don't talk about the situation of the other school. The school is very impressed.

　　 four Collection of Art Studied Abroad ：

Generally, schools require you to provide, suggest painting, photography, design this professional to make a plane atlas, to be high-precision, each work is equipped with a text description, and then you can built-in slides or other works stored on DVD.

Music professionals must record CDs, sing one song in Chinese, English and a third language, and then sing without music. Remember to record CDs for anti-counterfeiting certification, and then submit tape recordings to help the school not think that you are a computer. If you are composing music, remember to hand in the scanned copy, photocopy and recorded tape of the composition manuscript.

For dance and performance majors, we must make the live VIDEO, TV station recording or school recording, plus time code, of our public performances and weighty performances into CDs, which VHS will send to the school.

Let's talk about the weight of works. In fact, works are a reflection of your academic achievements. If you can really go to graduate school again, it means that your artistic ability has basically come to an end. The school just provides you with a more professional environment to enrich yourself. Therefore, there are not many submitted works, but whether they are your most authentic performance. Never use other people's works. Once you find them, it will be difficult for you to mix them in the future. Even if you are the second creator, you should also note your name.

As for the work, if it is submitted to the school review committee, you don't have to worry about it. Many people will vote to decide your admission. If it is decided by a professional professor, it is recommended to contact the professor in advance and discuss the work, which will reflect your thinking to the professor. Some people say that if you win any international award, you can be admitted to win the full award. It is too one-sided. The admission of a school depends more on you and the direction of the school, and whether it is meaningful for the school to cultivate you. Moreover, there are too many messy awards. Unless there are several top awards, ordinary schools will not be hasty. They should put their minds right. You don't have any bull works, You can also go to a good school.

　　 5. PS and Thesis:

PS mainly talks about your creative thinking and creative ability. Don't be too miscellaneous, just talk about some directions of creation, and try to infiltrate humanistic thinking. It is better to focus on theoretical research, criticism, and analysis. It should be objective, not subjective, and not too avant-garde. It also depends on whether the research direction of the other professor is consistent with yours.

　　 6. Interview:

This is also important. Generally, the professor will take the initiative to contact you after sending the work. You can talk about some topics to make the other person have a three-dimensional understanding of you. Now, the good news is that every year several famous American art schools will come to Shanghai and Beijing to do publicity. You can contact the school in advance. If their director in charge of enrollment comes, you can have an interview. You have a good chance. You can also contact the school to understand its ideas and dynamics.

　　 7. Scholarship:

It is a pity to say that the art majors in many art colleges and universities do not actually provide much financial help. Generally, there will be opportunities for teaching assistants. You need to strive for them. Next, you can do some part-time jobs. LOAN is also a way to apply. Some art schools and majors will provide financial aid to international students. Scholarships or tuition fees will be reduced. In the past two years, the College of Arts has formed a concept that "there are many rich people", so in order to study in a good school, you still need to have some work experience and income. Successful artists generally work before going to school, and going to school is to reposition their thinking. In addition, it is worth mentioning that many LAC (Liberal Arts and Sciences College) also bring graduate education, but the income is small. Generally, they have rich financial aid for students, so you can refer to it. For example, Smith oberlin.

　 8. School selection:

It would be better to choose a school based on your future employment orientation. The direction of the same major will be somewhat different in different schools, so you should carefully do a good job in school research. You'd better go to the official website of each major university to learn more about it.

The popularity of studying abroad in American art is both a trend and a guide. As more and more successful cases apply for studying abroad in American art, and the employment prospect after graduation is "bright", it shows that more and more people recognize studying abroad in American art.
