Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio has prepared a preparation plan for the class of 2021 in order to cope with the new trends in art exams. The impact of the pandemic on the education sector this year includes not only a one-month delay in the college entrance exams but also changes such as nearly a hundred universities canceling their on-site exams, opting for online preliminary tests, and raising the thresholds for these exams. All these changes will directly affect the fate of art students from the class of 2020. However, those who are about to enter their final year of high school and prepare for art exams in 2021 cannot remain indifferent to these developments. As planned, training should have started long ago, but it has been postponed time and again due to various reasons. Now, only 6 months remain until this year’s examination, and given the high standards required for that exam, the training time has been reduced further. Therefore, every minute must be made use of during the remaining time, and every effort must be exerted. Similarly, teaching in various art studios within such a short timeframe poses significant challenges. To address this situation, Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio has developed a comprehensive preparation plan from a professional perspective for the 2021 cohort of art students, aiming to help them better cope with the new trends in art exams. With the training period significantly shortened, art students no longer have any opportunity to make mistakes, so it is crucial for the art students of the class of 2021 to have a clear understanding of their role. In previous years, many students were not clear throughout the process as to whether they should focus on design or visual arts, whether to take the unified entrance exams or school-specific exams; moreover, the plans they made did not match their actual circumstances at all. As a result, they hesitated back and forth, which led to slow progress during the training period. Some students, after completing two months of specialized courses, felt it wasn’t the right fit for them, so they switched to general education courses. In previous years, such circumstances might have allowed for some room for maneuver, but given the situation this year, there is no time left for hesitation; it is necessary to quickly determine one’s own role and train according to an appropriate plan without wasting a single second. So, how can one clarify their personal position in a short period of time? Teachers at Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio say that it is first necessary to clearly understand the relationship between the provincial entrance exams and the school-specific exams. The joint examination is a selective test that assesses candidates’ basic skills, while the school-based examination is designed to select the best among art students; the difficulty level of this professional test is much higher, and the number of applicants is much smaller compared to that for the joint examination. The importance of the joint entrance exams is self-evident, but to get into top-tier art schools, it is still necessary to take the school-specific exams. So once the relationships are clarified, one must determine one’s own direction. Furthermore, many trainees are unsure about their goals during the intensive training period. Although it is necessary to take the college entrance exam first before considering this issue, if they do not clarify it during the training, they will feel very lost throughout the entire process, losing motivation and direction. Therefore, in the early stages, it is very important to choose one’s majors carefully; once the major and goals are determined, targeted practice can then be carried out. However, art students have limited room to express themselves within the framework of an art studio; therefore, formulating targeted teaching arrangements and career advancement plans has become a challenge for all art studios today. As a consistent success in the annual art exams, Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio has developed a series of strategies to address issues such as reduced training time for all students and a lower tolerance for mistakes. In terms of teaching, all teachers at Elephant Art Studio undergo a two-month training program focused on teaching methods, and the curriculum is adjusted accordingly. The teaching schedule will be relatively intensive. For students with no prior experience or weak foundations, separate instruction and training are provided to ensure they can keep up with the pace. For students taking the national exams and school-based exams, teaching will also be tailored accordingly. Those focusing on the national exams will receive instruction organized by province, with an emphasis on helping them achieve high scores in those exams. Students specializing in art academies provide targeted instruction for them. As is well known, there is an inherent interoperability between the joint entrance exams and the school-specific exams. For this reason, Hangzhou Daxiang Painting Studio allows its students to focus on the school-specific exams while still giving them the opportunity to strive for admission to art colleges. Regarding the career planning for its students, Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio holds lectures on art entrance examinations during each training session, enabling students to understand the trends in both centralized and school-based art exams, to consider their own choices carefully, and to become aware of their future professional and employment prospects. Even before the students enter the art studio, their goals are determined based on each individual’s expertise and cultural background; subsequent adjustments are made as they make progress in their skills, so that the plans for artistic exams are integrated into the students’ own learning systems. Starting right now, it’s time to go all out in this final push. For all art students who are about to enter their senior year of high school, it’s essential to make the most of every moment to prepare thoroughly. Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio’s comprehensive approach to teaching and career planning undoubtedly helps these art students find the right path and saves them energy so they can focus on their preparation. With such a thorough preparation plan, it’s believed that all students at Elephant Art Studio will be able to succeed through their own hard work and make it onto the list of successful graduates!
