Most of the images of a good teacher should be strict and responsible. However, we often hear that the teaching style of overseas teachers, even some domestic university teachers, is very free, and students' learning is basically self-conscious. So, what should a work collection organization's trainer be like? How about the teacher of the Natural Light Collection? Let's have a chat today.

　　 What is the strictness of the institutional teachers of the works collection?

For art students studying abroad, the collection of works is a very important stepping stone, and it is no exaggeration to call it a prerequisite for access to top foreign universities.

There is no "template" for the creation of the collection of works. At the beginning, the students who contact the collection of works may feel at a loss. They don't know how to start the creation of the collection of works. They often hope that the teacher can give them more suggestions, or even "help" them to choose the right one Theme direction of works collection 。

We strongly disapprove of this practice. Therefore, the teacher of the collection organization needs to be "relaxed". "Zhang" is a strict requirement on the time and manner of students' work creation, which creates a sense of urgency; "Relaxation" is to give students the maximum freedom of thought and give full play to their creativity. Any inspiration can become the material for creation.

The teaching mode of domestic colleges and universities should be well understood. They pay attention to the single mindedness. Knowledge infusion is mainly one-way transmission, which is a form of teaching students in the attitude of elders. Therefore, it gives people a sense of seriousness and severity. There is a certain social distance, and it is not easy to get close.

The teaching mode of foreign universities is more like communication than teaching. The boundary between teachers and students will not be so clear, which will give students full freedom of expression, discuss and solve academic problems with students, and play a guiding role on the basis of respecting each student's personal ideas.

Such a free teaching method will be more conducive to students' understanding and absorption of new knowledge, and can be used in the creation of "one against three", as well as exercise our thinking conversion ability.

We can learn more specifically about their educational models from Tutorial or Workshop teaching forms of overseas colleges and universities.

Tutorial means tutorial guidance. This tutor will be your primary contact person during the whole learning period. Generally, a Tutor will lead 3-5 students to form a small class to systematically study and discuss the knowledge in the basic courses. There will be special tutor guidance time every week or every two weeks.

Workshop is a high-intensity, centralized group collaborative teaching form, with the number of people generally between 10 and 20. People exchange their views or learn certain skills according to different topics. Through phased learning, students can think more actively, produce results (works) faster, and give feedback.

Let's take the workflow of the Workshop course as an example, which is roughly as follows:

Preliminary preparation: set up a team and prepare the materials needed in the design process;

Brainstorming: through research, discussion and thinking, explore and list all the possibilities that may arise in the design process;

Thinking divergence: every student should think out all possible solutions as much as possible;

The leaders of the group, namely teachers, mainly play a role in guiding and solving problems, leaving students full creative freedom.

Although there is a high degree of freedom in teaching abroad, it does not mean that students are easy to learn abroad. Teachers have a very strict attitude towards creation, including the creation logic of daily work, the degree of completion, punctuality and other factors will be strictly controlled.

In natural light learning, our teaching method is fully connected with overseas art colleges, including the development of creative activities in the form of workshops, interaction and a large number of brainstorming, which can help us to conceive particularly interesting creative inspiration.

Students can make good use of the time they spend creating works in China. Through this teaching mode, they can get familiar with the life of studying abroad as soon as possible. After all, when they really go abroad, there is not so much time for everyone to slowly adapt.

　　 Collected works: institutional teachers are "too strict"

We said earlier that good teachers should be "relaxed and relaxed" in teaching. Some students may think that according to the logic of "strict teachers make excellent students", teachers should not be more strict and more severe? Here we take a counter example to let you understand the true meaning of "being too strict".

Some organizations' portfolio tutors wish they could "replace" the students to complete the creation of the portfolio. They have a good reputation for saying, "You are right to do what I said, and other students here are also admitted in this way. If you do so, I guarantee that you will take the offer.".

Many small workshops have developed a business chain of "acting", or even "being acted on". Everyone may be familiar with "acting". What about "being acted on"?

In order to exploit loopholes and earn money, these institutions, under the banner of education, have developed a set of so-called assembly line manufacturing methods for famous school works, such as copying the works of foreign famous school graduates and minority designers; Or obtain a large number of excellent works of school application through some means, extract the key points, and then transform them into a "new" work... There are many dark box operations.

The terrible thing about "being commissioned" is that "we don't know". Students really participated in the creation process of the work collection, and followed the "template" step by step to complete their own work collection. Everything is very smooth, and even we may think that we really have mastered the creative ability.

In fact, without the "guidance" of "teachers", you can hardly create an equally excellent collection of works. Some students may be lucky enough to get an offer by virtue of the collection of works they have done on behalf of others, thinking that they are hiding the truth.

In addition to the increasingly strict review of foreign colleges and universities, they have to face the situation that they can't understand the lessons, can't keep up with the progress, and can't complete the homework after entering the university. When the time comes, the college will review your collection of work for admission, and if it is found out that you are working on behalf of others, you will be blacklisted and expelled from the university.

Natural light student creation scene

Natural light has always been firmly against the act of acting and template teaching, and template teaching is essentially "acting". As a professional Portfolio Counseling Agency And educational institutions should not only be responsible for your application, but also be responsible for your future by setting an example.

Natural light insists on customized teaching to stimulate students' autonomy. Teachers play a role of guide and companion and are responsible for students, education and art industry. Each collection of works completed by everyone is real material, which can stand scrutiny, and the improvement of comprehensive ability obtained from it is also real.

Finally, remind students to:

First, ensure the originality of your own creation, use your own brain to experience the art storm, and explain the origin of your creation logically and based on the facts;

Second, be careful of "being made on behalf of others". Ask yourself more about whether your work was told by the teacher or guided by the teacher~

As an old saying goes, a teacher is a teacher who learns from his teachings and dispels doubts. This is the goal that every excellent teacher aspires to achieve. Therefore, teaching knowledge and answering doubts for students should be the primary task. Strictly as a teaching feature or quality, it is also based on this goal to better serve students.

There is no right or wrong in "strict teacher makes excellent students", but it depends on how the strict teacher gets along with students in the teaching process, and how to control and grasp the teaching process. Students should also keep their eyes open and not be blinded by the so-called strict appearance of "strict teachers". The growth and progress we have achieved after learning is the most real and important ability, which will support everyone to enter the dream school~
