How to write articles on art history, art design and art examination, what materials to read,

Hello ~ I am also studying art history ~ I will graduate soon! Most theoretical articles focus on what it is, why and how to accomplish it. First of all, you have to determine the scope of your writing. The scope includes historical theories, such as China art history, foreign art history, China arts and crafts history, foreign arts and crafts history, or theoretical theories, such as art theory and design theory.

Historical prose generally starts with a painting or a handicraft, and can analyze its artistic language (color, composition and technique) or artistic value (its position in the history of art and its influence on later artistic creation) or critical prose (of course, you are not required to write this article in the entrance examination, but you should appreciate some works and handicrafts and put forward your own opinions on the basis of a certain amount of reading).

Theoretical articles usually start with a certain theory, including China's ancient painting theory, art origin theory, art acceptance, design concept and so on. If you take the entrance exam, I don't recommend you to write this. Because this conference involves aesthetics, philosophical theory and other aspects, it is impossible to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth discussion on the students who have settled in.

If it's still unclear, I suggest you refer to Suzanne Hudson's How to Write an Art Article. Published by Shanghai People's Publishing House, it is quite helpful for beginners to write. I learned a lot of writing skills from this book during my freshman and sophomore years.

I hope my answer is helpful to you! Finally, I wish the exam success!
