stitcher Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Greetings, I followed this forum for my two rounds of applying to MFA programs. During that time I compiled a list of interview questions that I've attached. I starred the ones that were similar to questions I was asked. Keep in mind that schools are "curating" a class. You may have great work, but it doesn't fit into their design. Try not to get depressed :-). Think of interviews as a conversation instead of an interrogation! Most interviewers are very friendly and understand your stress. Be honest about your work even if it seems counter to what you think they want to hear.

stitcher Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Sorry my PDF above didn't work. I copied and pasted here: Interview questions: *Why do you want to come here and how could you contribute to the program? Tell us about the materials you are working with. How do you incorporate your audience in your work? What is risk in your medium? *What are your passions besides your art? Question related to artist statement Tell us about your work informally Talk about how your materials/medium relate to your subject matter Have you ever considered expanding beyond your medium? *Do you have questions for us? How are you different than other artists? Create a 3 item agenda for your interview. How does your work fit in with the contemporary art world/scene? *Why do you want to go to this school? Why do you want to go to grad school? Why now? What resources of this program will be the biggest benefit to your development as an artist? *What is your work about? What are your influences? What for you constitutes a good work of art? What draws you to a piece of work? What motivates your work? Who are your main influences? *Where do you see yourself in 10 years? What do you think is a good critique of your work/bad critique? Why/how did you choose the people who wrote letters for you? *What do you do for fun? What artists do you like? What artists who are no longer living influence you? **What book are you reading right now? What do you think about it? What are you working on right now? *Please explain this work (interviewer showing work) What is your favorite piece of art? Why? (Title, artist,year) Can you describe yourself, such as personal habit, etc. Do you get along well with others ? What would you bring to a group dynamic ? *What can you offer this program? Any special skills? What do you think is a good way of critiquing ? a bad way? What other aspects of culture influence your work besides art/art history? *How do you see yourself taking advantage of this school’s enviroment/program? What exhibition have you been to in the last year? What have you done since you’ve graduated? What contemporary artists are you into, and why? Tell us about the conceptual underpinnings of your work? Talk about your process. How is your work related to *this movement*? What do you think about (artist, movement, subject/topic)? What can't you stand? Why? What do you think about your own work? How do you want your work to develop? Why are you making the work you're making, and why do you want to keep doing it? Meaning behind your subject matter? Why grad school, why now? Who is your artist nemesis? Do you have any designer that you admire or a movement that you like? Why did you choose our program? Do you have any ideas what your thesis project would be about? Why use arcane techniques in digital age? dmirko and sylviecerise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZahP Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure if anyone here is into New Media but so far I've been asked to interview at UCSD visual art, UCLA DMA, USC interactive media, UCSC danm, and NYU tisch game design. Just a heads up for those that do New Media and games (MFA).

ZahP Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 18 minutes ago, kindaafraid said: I just saw your portfolio and I just wanted to say: Your works are amazing. I know USC has been pumping out some exceptional game designers (Journey, Hyper Light Drifter, etc.) and the possibility of working with any UCLA's faculty members (Lauren McCarthy, Casey Reas, etc.) is to die for any new media people. I'm sure any of the schools you are applying for are going to be super lucky to have you as a student. Keep creating! Also, good luck for the interviews everyone! We can do this! ::blush:: Thank you! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyerolling Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone I finally got a name to comment here. Thank god this forum exists, it is a very helpful anxiety relieving place to be. Yesterday I received an email invitation for interview at Columbia for the 3rd March. I applied for New Genres but it said Moving Image/New Genres on their way of mentioning the program I applied for. Thought it would be good to share it here. Has anyone else here also applied for New Genres? Edited February 8, 2017 by eyerolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
