            How do Czech art schools differ from those in other countries? The artist Nonna Lorenz, wh
            teaches at the Foundation program Art and Architecture [ URL "https://ujop.cuni.cz/UJOPEN-

            filtrvalue_oborstudia=13"] , explains: "Art schools in Europe, especially in the Czech Rep
            different from the schools you find in your own country. Really European art [as a major] 
            different, and not everyone knows how to approach it, what to show, what the entrance exam

            European schools and especially in the Czech Republic are different because 80% of the tim

            you have to go to that school prepared. That's actually the interesting thing and a lot of

            apply to university, they don't know about that, and they think they have time to choose, 
            to prepare, but they don't. You have to not only know where you want to apply, but you hav
            what you are doing, because undergraduate college is about trying new techniques, trying n

            different approaches to the art, but you have to have a solid foundation.

            You have to know exactly what you want from the art, why you're doing it, have your own st

            can't just copy from Pinterest, take inspiration from Instagram, but you have to have some
            something of your own".


            In the interview with Nonna you will find answers to the following questions:

            • Art school graduates are always high quality professionals. What is the reason for this?

            • What are the difficulties an applicant faces during the entrance exam to an art college?
            • What are the benefits of the Portfolio subject?
            • Why is it important to know the history of modern art for college admission?


            Nonna studied at UJOP herself, and here is how she recalls her foundation year [ URL "http
            UJOPEN-69.html?filtrvalue_oborstudia=13"] :


            "I often think back to UJOP, to my time at Krystal. The very decision to go to study in th
            overwhelmed me in a way. It was extremely difficult to find my way around, but then I had 

            teacher and I thought I was lucky. Then I found out that only good teachers work at Crysta
            every student here is very lucky. With the distance of time, I can judge that of course UJ
            gives great language training. I can compare it to other schools as well, because I just d

            level from other students. And that will be your advantage, because the earlier you learn 
            faster you will get involved in the society and in your studies. "
