Can I be admitted to CAFA after studying art for one year?

How can I say this, I have studied art for so many years, I have met all kinds of people, there used to be a classmate in a middle school, he started to learn art from the third year of high school, and went to CAFA for intensive training, and he was admitted in half a year, but his major is very biased, it is a vertical structure, sketching color sketch has not been painted, I personally do not recommend entering CAFA in this way, and you will know it when you enter school, there is no foundation at all, and when you start to submit your works in college, you will be in a hurry, CAFA is also a temple in the hearts of domestic art students, It's not so easy to get in, I have people around me who have been repeating for a year or two or even 6 years, some have been admitted, some have not been admitted, to put it mildly, the proportion of repeat students in the Academy of Fine Arts is much higher than the proportion of fresh graduates, I have heard a joke before, saying that Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts has been enrolled, and the first sentence of the head teacher is not "everyone introduces themselves where they came from" but "everyone says that they have repeated their studies for a few years".

You have to weigh it carefully before making a decision...

It's nice to have this heart, but do you think you're talented? If so, it may be possible to work hard for a year, but you must know that CAFA is not easy to test.

Culture should be good, and art should be good!

It's up to you to see what you think.

One of my classmates did it.

According to the comprehensive score of the previous cultural courses, candidates who want to apply for the ** Academy of Fine Arts must have at least 80% of the first line of the province. Take Shanxi as an example, the approximate score for admission is more than 400.

In 2017, CAFA abolished the restrictions on Chinese and English in cultural courses, and made some changes to the calculation of college entrance examination scores, adopting relative scores, that is, candidates' relative scores = 100% of the candidates' total cultural scores in the candidate's province undergraduate (arts) batch line.

For plastic arts, Chinese painting, calligraphy, experimental art, urban art and design majors, the relative score of candidates in cultural courses is 75 points, that is, your cultural line should reach 75% of the first line, and the relative score of cultural courses for candidates majoring in art and design is 80 points, that is, your cultural line should reach 80% of the first line, and the admission control line of fine arts, art theory, and architecture majors shall not be lower than the second batch of undergraduate admission control line where the students are from, and the score line of cultural courses shall be generated by the qualified candidates of the major according to their relative scores.

1. The number of applicants for CAFA every year reaches about 20,000 or 30,000. For example, in 2017, the number of students enrolled in CAFA was 816, so it was a ratio of 3:100, that is, only three out of 100 candidates could be admitted, which means that 95% of them would be eliminated.

Not only does it require strong professional ability, but also the requirements for the score line of cultural courses are also very high, and cultural courses must score above 420 to be sure.

2. Judging from the data of the CAFA report ratio in 2019, the ratio is very large, and the ratio of calligraphy majors has reached an astonishing 144:1, the degree of difficulty can be imagined, and the number of students enrolled is small. CAFA is recruiting students from all over the country, not just a simple provincial unified examination.

**The teaching and scientific research area of the Academy of Fine Arts covers an area of 495 acres, with a total construction area of 10,000 square meters. Among them, the Wangjing campus covers an area of 205 acres, with a construction area of 10,000 square meters; Yanjiao campus covers an area of 205 acres, with a construction area of 10,000 square meters; Houshayu campus covers an area of 67 acres, with a construction area of 10,000 square meters; The Xiaoying campus covers an area of 18 acres, with a construction area of 10,000 square meters.

The college has 20 undergraduate majors, including Chinese painting, calligraphy, painting, sculpture, experimental art, visual communication design, industrial design, product design, digital art, fashion and apparel design, photography, fine arts, art history, cultural industry management, architecture, landscape architecture, film and television photography and production, environmental design, public art, and animation.

How good is the Academy of Fine Arts? How good do you have to draw to be admitted to the ** Academy of Fine Arts?

It's not difficult, in 2016, the total number of applicants for CAFA was more than 20,000, if it was just for CAFA, the minimum cultural score was 380 points, and the art ranking was 832. 20,000 candidates are the total number of applicants for CAFA, and the ranking of 832 is only the ranking of the city academy, not the ranking of 20,000. In the end, the CAFA City Academy was ranked 833rd.

However, 833 students with a score of 380 in culture could not be admitted. Therefore, the minimum admission standard of CAFA: 380 points in culture, 832 in fine arts.

It's not difficult, it's not difficult.

Generally speaking, if you have more than 420 cultural courses and are in the top 300 out of about 30,000 or 40,000 candidates in the country every year (you don't care about the city academy), you can be admitted. So no matter where you learn to draw, you should be the best in your circle, and in the pre-exam camp, you should be in the top 20 in the studio.

Humanities and architectural culture courses should be high, about 500 or more

Of course, you can go to the official website of CAFA - Admissions to check the admission score line for each year.

It is very difficult to get into CAFA.

With the approval of the people, the National Academy of Fine Arts was established, and the chairman of the Academy inscribed the name of the academy. Xu Beihong served as the first president. In January 1950, with the approval of the **People** Government Council, it was officially named **Academy of Fine Arts.
