Interview experience with Temple University
MFA/painting major
My interview was with about 7 or 8 people from the faculty, about 20 minutes, they asked very detailed questions.
At first, my internet was very, very weak, and I heard their questions intermittently, and they repeated their questions again and again with patience and kindness. Even typing the question. But then my internet problem was solved.
Asking me to introduce myself and tell what plan I have for the duration of my studies.
Then they asked why you put two projects in your portfolio, one painting and one photography, and they asked me to explain which one I want to work on more in the future.
They chose one of my paintings from my portfolio and asked me to explain it fully. Explain to us the elements that I used to create the atmosphere and tell the feelings and thoughts that were behind it when painting this work.
Then asking why, for example, a certain element is repeated too much in my work.
After asking me what book are you reading?
And then say a contemporary artist that you were influenced by and loved.
Asking about criticism and what kind of class, what kind of atmosphere is ideal in my opinion, and such questions to get to know me more.
At first, I got a little stressed from seeing so many people, but they were really patient and there was a positive atmosphere in general, and it was clear that they had seen my work completely and carefully, and they liked it, and their only questions and focus were on the portfolio. There was no mention of other cases.
A week later, I received an email saying that I was accepted and that they did not give me any information about the fund.
