As the birthplace of the European Renaissance, Italy is a country with a strong art and learning atmosphere, and it is also one of the countries with the highest cost performance for studying art.
Therefore, more and more art students choose to study in Italy.
So, do you know what the examination requirements are for applying for art study abroad in Italy?
Next, we will follow the small series here to understand it!
If you want to study in an Italian academy of Fine Arts, you should generally reach the level of B1 to B2.
B1 assesses a candidate’s basic level of autonomous and reliable use of Italian in an everyday setting;
B2 is intermediate level, at which the user can demonstrate basic skills in the use of language in a wide range of different contexts and situations.
At this level, the user is able to use Italian effectively when studying and working.
In the case of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, a B2 language certificate is submitted in advance before the entrance examination, and if this certificate is not available, a dictation test is required.
Every fine arts school in Italy has its own method and time of entrance examination. Students must successfully attend and pass the examination before they can enter the undergraduate or master courses of the major they apply for.
Specific entrance examination content is as follows: 1. Basic culture test, some schools omit this part of the test.
This part of the test is to test students’ basic cultural knowledge and artistic literacy.
To put it simply, it is a written test within a specified time, which involves basic culture, history, Western art history, and humanistic knowledge of the city where the academy is located.
2. Professional test, that is, art test according to the major you are applying for.
This part of the exam is generally divided into two parts. The first part is to complete the work according to the school’s proposition, and the second part is to create the work by the students’ own theme.
For all entrance examinations, students should bring drawing materials and submit the application and fee in advance.
There are no tests that specify how to draw, and students can choose which drawing method they are good at.
3. The interview.
For those who have passed the first two rounds of exams, only one face-to-face meeting will be held.
The main content of the interview is a confirmation and personal information to the student review questions and art history, if there is no understanding of art history, especially in the aspects of contemporary art, it is difficult to through the examination of the college, because art is also in constant development, art is not just through created out of thin air, but by the accumulation of various aspects gradually.
Especially in the aspect of contemporary art, however, the diversified development of contemporary art is vague for Chinese students, and it is essential to master contemporary art history.
The last thing we need to prepare is how to explain your own work, try to say it in the simplest language you can say, and answer the examiner’s questions truthfully.
