In September, the application season came, and natural light received various questions from students, such as, Application document for art study abroad How to prepare ？ Must the collection be complete ？ How to determine whether a collection counseling organization is reliable ？ Do art majors have to find a work collection counseling agency to study abroad ... today we present the natural light Tutorial institution for art study abroad collection The professional tips of tutors, I hope they can help you enter the ideal Dreamschool smoothly!

　　 01. Do you want to study abroad? Do you want to study art?

Students must be clear about whether to study abroad or not? Do you want to study art? We must have a clear positioning, not just on the spur of the moment. For example, someone around us said, "You see XXX has gone abroad, so you should go abroad too!"! Whether you need and are suitable for going abroad, and whether you are supported at home, should be considered in the early stage, because this is the key to the beginning of everything.

　 02. The choice of art majors is more important than that of men!

Some students may say they want to learn graphic design when they come to the Natural Light Works Collection counseling agency, but they also get a very good offer later. As a result, they want to study landscape design again half way through school, because they think this major is more suitable for them. At this time, they consider changing their major, but in fact, there will be delays in all aspects. So I hope that when students have the idea of studying abroad in the arts, they can learn as much as possible about the specific situation of colleges and universities and majors.

　　 03. Choose a school carefully. The best one is the one that suits you!

School choice is really important! First of all, although the colleges recommended by the tutors of the Natural Light Collection tutorial institution are excellent (we absolutely guarantee this!), the situation and needs of each student are different! For example, some students want to study fashion photography, although Photography at SVA New York School of Visual Arts It's famous, but in fashion photography, there must be Fashion Photography at Parsons School of Design It can be a better choice. So at the beginning of the consultation, we must learn more about the situation of each school with the consultant teachers, and carefully determine our own direction!

　　 04. Application documents for art study abroad are very important!

Many students will entrust art study abroad application documents and other materials to art study abroad work collection counseling agencies or relevant intermediaries when preparing their work collections. Although it is easy, it does not mean that you can completely leave it behind! Natural light never has two identical documents! This is because every student is an independent individual! We also need to prepare documents according to the situation of students. What you are good at, and what you are not good at, should always communicate with each other, so that we can help you to "develop strengths and avoid weaknesses" and prepare a document that can improve your admission rate.

　　 05. Why do you want to take the basic course of the portfolio counseling agency?

first, Portfolio Tutoring Basic Course It is mainly aimed at students with weak foundation, or those who have changed their major or zero foundation. Secondly, many students are "anxious" when they are learning basic courses and want to "muddle" through them. But in fact, basic courses are the groundwork for follow-up courses. A solid foundation can help students better understand the follow-up courses.

　 06. Cultivate interdisciplinary awareness

In fact, foreign teaching especially encourages students to cooperate with students in other majors to complete projects, that is, what we call "interdisciplinary awareness", which is hard to see in most of the students we meet in China.

　　 Interdisciplinary course teaching It is a very common model abroad, which can help students broaden their thinking and creativity, and create from a more dimensional perspective. For example, the Natural Light Collection Counseling Institution specially encourages interdisciplinary cooperation to complete the creation, which can bring more ideas and content to your collection.

　　 07. The collection of overseas works is important, and the language test is also important!

A lot of students have devoted themselves to artistic creation when they think of studying abroad in art. When applying, they submitted not only works collection, but also language scores. The language scores of good colleges and universities are relatively high, and some even meet the requirements of IELTS 7.5. In this case, everyone must make reasonable arrangements to solve the language exam as soon as possible.

　 08. Must we produce a complete collection of overseas works?

Trevor, the former admissions officer of the Maryland Academy of Arts at the Natural Light Collection Counseling Agency, said: "Actually, it is not certain. Many students said:" I have a particularly good idea, but it is all in my mind. I can't do it. Could you just briefly describe it? ". This is absolutely impossible. Although it is not necessary to submit a particularly perfect collection of works, a collection of works should enable the school admissions officer to see your creativity, design ability, ideas and thinking process, which is also what a collection of works should show. Under the condition of ensuring that your portfolio fully displays these contents, a portfolio with a completion degree of about 80% is acceptable.

　　 09. There are differences in artistic environment and learning awareness at home and abroad, as well as in teaching and guidance

Whether it is artistic atmosphere, design concept, or teaching and learning, there are great differences between foreign and domestic! Big! Of! For example, domestic teachers pay special attention to whether students take notes or books in class, or whether they copy PPT after class. Foreign teachers don't care about these "formal" things as a whole.

For another example, students in the Natural Light collection counseling agency often feedback that "when I went to college, it was OK to hand in the final product drawing every time I handed in my homework, but the natural light teacher would also look at my sketchbook and design process diagram". This is because the teaching philosophy is different. In China, as long as the final result is good, you can. However, foreign teachers will pay special attention to your ideas, creativity, and logical thinking ability, which are just reflected through your creative process, but you can't see the final product.

　　 10. Be sure to have a sense of time!

Dear students, when you are preparing your application for studying abroad and your portfolio! Please do not delay! Students and teachers who come to the Natural Light Works Collection tutoring agency can urge everyone at any time to finish the work, but it is better for students who apply for DIY art study abroad! Never, never delay!!

　　 11. Interview preparation in advance

Dreamschool interview must be paid attention to. Make an appointment in advance to understand the previous interview content, see if you need to ask the teacher to help you prepare for the interview, or do simulated conversation exercises. According to your own situation, prepare for the interview, and do not relax.

　 12. Independent proposition is also part of the collection

Students with independent proposition schools like Parsons Parsons Design Institute and RISD Rhode Island Design Institute who are preparing to apply for study abroad must pay attention to that independent proposition is actually a part of the collection of works and also a "point" that reflects your ability. Don't deal with it casually!
