Are there any special requirements for the submission of individual works when applying to British art schools? For visual communication, architecture, product and fashion majors, the requirements for the collection of works are also different. Visual communication majors emphasize the diversity of projects and the diversity of final work forms, which may include device or video presentation; Architecture majors pay attention to the design process, and the collection of works should include representative works of important design work, rather than comprehensive records; Product majors need to demonstrate their ability and innovative thinking through electronic collections of works, which should reflect artistic insights, interests and thinking patterns.

Form: It can be sketch, painting, design, photography and other forms. The key is to show personal artistic insights, interests and thinking patterns.

　　 6. Preparation process of works collection

Fundamentals of painting: The UK attaches great importance to students' basic skills, and students who do not have a solid foundation must strengthen the training of color and modeling.

Professional creativity: determine the direction, materials and quantity of the portfolio project according to the specific requirements of the applied profession. Define the project theme and plan the completion time of each specific project as a whole.

Production and typesetting: less but exquisite, highlighting creativity and theme. Works designed with software are easy to handle, and can be directly stored in JPEG format. 3D works need to take the best photos.

Is it important to study in the UK? Through the above requirements, you can better prepare and submit your own collection of works, and improve the success rate of applying to British art schools.
