How can interdisciplinary tutoring give full play to its advantages in works concentration? Now many foreign art schools have certain requirements for students' speculative ability in different art fields, so the application of interdisciplinary works is an important means to improve the application rate. How can interdisciplinary students maximize their advantages? Next, we will talk about the specific creation methods in combination with the cases of interdisciplinary works of natural light.
How can interdisciplinary tutoring give full play to its advantages in works concentration?
1. Take advantage of the original professional advantages
For many students who have changed their major and have no basic knowledge, "interdisciplinary" is the best way to make up for their shortcomings and express their personal uniqueness. In the process of teaching interdisciplinary counseling portfolio, we often emphasize that the creation of portfolio is dominated by students' ability, and different professional backgrounds should not be taken as a disadvantage that everyone wants to avoid, but the direction that we open up the creation form.
There are commonalities among all disciplines, and these commonalities are the entry points of our innovation. As a source student of electrical engineering, she decided to change her major to apply for interactive design. The two disciplines with distinct boundaries originally found a breakthrough point in practice, and she made the most unique collection of works with the original professional advantages.
The second project is the most representative. It is an O2O energy trading service system based on charging stations and combined with mobile applications, which can help herdsmen and tourists in Inner Mongolia exchange the remaining electricity.

Yuan took full advantage of her undergraduate study of electrical engineering and laid the technical feasibility of the product for this project with the help of the foundation of equipment principles, design functions, codes and other related fields. At the same time, in order to make up for the shortcomings, Yuan did not take the product appearance and vision as the focus of the project, and the final project showed a different depth and breadth, It also helped the source students to gain the following Carnegie Mellon University 5 offers from CMU.

2. Interdisciplinary based on interests and advantages
Interest is the driving force for us to explore the truth, so finding our own interests and advantages is the first step to carry out the design project. For natural light, this is also an important task in our teaching process. We can guide students deeply by understanding their personal interests and professional abilities.
In the process, students are also encouraged to participate in various interdisciplinary workshops, communicate and cooperate with students in other majors, try more material experiments in creation, and generate different inspirations.
Product design study abroad Taking the current network environment as the starting point, Ge went to discuss the "keyboard man", which is particularly prominent in the current network. It is an interdisciplinary project combined with the pure art specialty. It is an art installation product.

In the early research stage of this project, Ge used collages to express his subjective views on the network environment; In the actual production stage, I used my familiar combination of chessboard and keyboard as creative materials to produce a physical art installation. Then the two performers' actions are combined to show the confrontation and conflict in the online world.

Because Ge also has a zero foundation background, he constantly receives the impact of new knowledge in the creation process. In order to maintain a high degree of focus, Ge tries to choose the project he is interested in as the starting point, and integrates his own creative methods in the existing knowledge field in the implementation process, which saves time for learning new knowledge, Second, the works also reflect a full personal style.
3. Interdisciplinary service for the theme
The collection of overseas art works is a collection of creative processes such as theme planning, research and collection, scheme formulation, sketching, modeling, design implementation, etc. It is a complete work used to show the applicant's professional ability and comprehensive artistic quality.
An excellent interdisciplinary portfolio must be centered on the applied major, and all links should be highly integrated with the project. In order to highlight our interdisciplinary ability, we should not force unreasonable attempts, so we should formulate a clear theme at the initial stage when we decide to make an interdisciplinary collection, selectively consider interdisciplinary, and ensure that each link is reasonable and coherent.
Huyu is a student studying abroad majoring in natural light clothing design. His works focus on a project called "Survival Jacket". In this project, Huyu learned some problems about life-saving measures through the research on the shipwreck, so he hopes to explore the field of interactive design and service design through clothing to design a survival jacket, It can help increase the chances of survival when disasters occur.

In this work, we can see that Huyu has always taken clothing design as the central starting point. In the process of research according to the theme, he leads to the overlap with other professional fields, and then diverges his thinking to solve the problems raised from the perspective of comprehensive application of multi-disciplinary knowledge.

No matter which point above, we should pay attention to that we should not cross disciplines away from the main line of the collection of works. The fundamental advantage of cross disciplines is to use the knowledge of different disciplines to solve the specific problems of a certain discipline. In the process, we can often get different views or new inspiration from the traditional single discipline method.
Regardless of the advantage of interdisciplinary in students' thinking, just talking about the role of interdisciplinary in the concentration of works, it must be clear that interdisciplinary in the concentration of works is to help students improve their application advantages, and to show more dimensions of students' various abilities to admissions staff. It is not the only criterion. To put it simply and rudely, the best is the best.
If you ignore your own theme and original intention for interdisciplinary purposes, it will be counterproductive. Therefore, students must do more research in daily life, carry out application and exploration in different fields, and understand and acquire these abilities fundamentally before conducting interdisciplinary counseling portfolio projects, so as to unlock more possibilities!
