>>5696236For oil painting yeah. Jap painting is apparently more keen on abstract/textural works. Can check the graduates works to see what kind of stuff the faculty favours/pushes for, since it invariably shows their influence on the students.
>>5696317Oil painting is similar high-concept stuff in MAU, but their jap arts department is more representative, and focuses on recontextualizing the techniques rather than doing abstract work. And yeah it sounds like you know what you're getting into with geidai.
Your technique is good enough, but you'll need to work on creativity and coming up with interesting concepts that you can represent with good technique. This is not skill vs creativity - you'll want both. Another thing that can hurt first-time applicants is the time constraints and panicking - definitely try making some pieces with a strict time limit, with a ticking clock looming over you. Ask your teacher to put pressure on you, or make a bet with a friend to up the stakes.
Good luck.
