For good training of art overseas works collection, students should fully broaden their horizons, develop good habits of creation and learning, reflect their personality and characteristics, inspire students to think independently, and gradually complete the accumulation of art overseas works collection, information collection, full research, diverse expression, flexible use of formal skills and materials, repeated deliberation, Continuously optimize, and finally arrange and arrange the art study abroad collection according to the format and length requirements of different schools before applying for art study abroad. So that we can have a clear target and reason in the interview and fully display our talents. So we hope that students and parents can prepare in advance as much as possible, increase the space and time for students' growth, find responsible persons and suitable teachers, and enter the ideal university in the future to better adapt to foreign learning and life.

A Comparison between the Training of British and American Art Students'Collections and China's Education

　　 The biggest difference between the education of Chinese and British and American art colleges is technology control and methodology 。

British and American art education aims at students' independent research ability, independent learning ability and independent creative ability. The art education in China focuses on the result and the final design or art work.

All technical training and research methodology training are centered on how to improve students' independent creativity.

      Research and observation on application requirements of art school

Between Britain and the United States, the collection of works applied for by British art schools is more complicated. The school I'm talking about here is a top art school (except for those schools that can be admitted without submitting a collection of works). Taking the UK as an example, we are talking about art schools at such levels as the London University of the Arts, Goldsmith College of the University of London, and the Royal College of Arts (only graduate degree or above). The undergraduate work collection requires that students have at least three or four complete sets of work collections, and each set of work collection must have at least one book of about forty or fifty pages of content, including inspiration sources, research process, experimental process, materials and common sense of creative methods. The research should include artist research and observational research.

Finally, no matter what professional design is, we should make finished products. For example, product design should make samples of the designed products, and clothing design should make ready to wear clothes. Chinese high school graduates cannot directly apply for undergraduate courses in top art schools in the UK. They must first apply for preparatory courses, because the undergraduate courses in the UK are only three years, while those in the US are four years. High school students can directly apply.

        Education in China is more results oriented:

The training of Chinese art college candidates is only technical. Still life, portrait, sketch, and exam creation are directly based on the theme. These examination subjects lead Chinese students to pay more attention to the results of their works, how to draw the works completely, how to constitute them, and how realistic they are.

　　 The UK pays attention to the creative thinking mode of works collection:

British teachers prefer to see the way of thinking of students in the process of creation, the works of artists and designers they have learned in the process of creation, what relevant books they have read, and what methods they have tried. The collection of works shows the students' personality and ideas. If you just hold the sketch color that looks good, the interviewer will never admit you, but the students who can draw are not what they want. What they want is the designers and artists with brains and independent thinking in the future.

　　 British graduate students Collection of Art and Design Works requirement:

The work collection of British graduate students is the most difficult, but when you master the methodology of research, you will find it very useful. Not only the collection itself, but also the methodology of research is the methodology of your independent creation as a designer in the future.

The final presentation of the graduate student's portfolio is an electronic portfolio of about 70 pages of PDF. Projects with 4 or 5 themes. Each project is also to show the source of inspiration for your design, actual research, theoretical research, reference for artists and designers, etc. Finally, there must be a final solution. No matter what design theme is, it should be related to social problems, and the process of finding and solving problems.

In the graduate stage, British and American universities no longer teach any technical problems. They admit applicants who have the ability of independent designers and artists. The graduate is a research degree, which means you should make achievements in your own professional field.

        Summary:

Our Chinese art design undergraduate design is out of touch with employment, and there is no good teaching of work methodology. It is just the way teachers assign homework during the course. The part that seems to have research is also taking form. The most common case is that teachers give a topic to design a restaurant or other products. The design process, design thinking, and research and analysis in the design process are not enough. Students do not have their own independent design projects. Then the most frequently asked questions of interviewers are which project is your own and what is your own idea. The preparation training of our portfolio is to help students complete a portfolio that meets the standards of foreign universities, and more importantly, it can be a transitional course before studying abroad, to help students understand and train this learning method that is different from that in China. Lay a smooth foundation for the future career path.
