[ 793. SADM ]

Was browsing thru ntu's site for more information on their school of comms studies when i discovered the fac page of school of art, design and media (sadm). The school that bso applied to. Haha. Well, took a closer look at the course outline, and found several interesting modules that intrigued that little bit of arty interest in me. Peered further into the prerequisites... and hmmm. wonder if i could match up to it in the first place. Take a peek:

All applicants are required to submit the following three items within a week of your online application:

1. A videotape or disk containing a 10 minute (no longer) personal explanation/performance demonstrating why you should be admitted into the BFA. How you use your 10 minutes is up to you. You might, for example, wish to explain images from your portfolio, or you may choose simply to talk to the video camera. Remember this is a form of interview and SADM is looking for glimmers of visual and creative thinking.

2. A short written explanation in English of no more than 400 words as to why you should be allowed to enter the BFA.

3. A set of 5 photographs. These are to be taken by you of any subject. No accompanying explanation necessary. Sizes for the photos must be 5” x 7” in prints or 800 x 600 pixels in digital format on a CD-ROM.

The only problem i guess would be the videotape... well, until i master the art of making videos. Haahs.

Another one, the faculty test:

Structure of Examination Paper

There will be one 1-hour paper consisting of problems that can be solved through visual, graphic and written responses. In each section, there will be 2 to 3 problems that can be solved in approximately 20 minutes each.

Syllabus

The test is aimed at determining the abilities of the applicant in three areas:

- Creativity and Conceptual Ability
- Art, Design and Aesthetic Sensibilities
- Storytelling and Communication Skills

Studying for this type of examination is unnecessary and probably will work against the candidate. Our goal is to determine how the applicants can solve visual problems, determine their craft ability, test their creativity and spontaneity and determine their ability to tell stories and communicate with an audience.

Examples

The following are examples of the problems that may be posed for the examination. These are examples only. The actual content of the test should not be something that you should study for.

- You will be given a set of simple geometric shapes, you are to create a “visual metaphor” of a word or phrase.
- You will be provided with an example of a product or a service, create an advertisement that will communicate with an audience to sell or raise awareness of the product or service.
- If you are right handed, draw a picture of your left hand in pencil or ink. If you are left handed, draw a picture of your right hand in pencil or ink.
- Using a set of graphic elements create three abstract compositions that demonstrate three emotional states of mind.
- Use your pencil to create ten completely different types of marks.
- You will be given a set of three photos of children and three photos of animals, select one photo of a child and one photo of an animal. In six panels create a story board which shows an interaction between the child and the animal.
- In 200- 300 words, write a humorous anecdote of something that happened to you recently.

This is another problematic one... hmmm... i can't really draw for nuts. Heh.

Well, God knows? Anyway i'm just letting my mind wonder. Baah. =p
