5 An Education of Excellence at the Heart of the Professional World Whether it carries the name school of fine arts, art school or school of art and design, the higher school of art is a space in direct contact with the art world, and the different professionals operating in the domains of contemporary creation. It provides the means for creation through a pedagogy of the project, encouraging and initiating situations of experimentation, teaching students to analyze œuvres, images and signs, adopting a decidedly critical and practical perspective. With no preordained result, it forms a milieu where students can create as many new forms as original trades in the fields of art and design. Training and research activities are closely tied to creation and practice and characterized by protocols and modes of legitimization that are those of the worlds of art and design. 6 7

6 The Architecture of Studies and Qualifications Entry Competitions and Equivalence Panels There are in France 46 higher schools of art under the pedagogical supervision of the Ministry for Culture and Communication, located on 59 sites all over the country. In most of these schools, national and territorial, studies are composed in the following manner: a first cycle leading to a national qualification, a Diplôme National d Arts Plastiques / National Diploma in Visual Arts (DNAP) or a Diplôme National d Arts et Techniques / National Diploma in Arts and Technologies (DNAT), of a Licence level (semesters 1 to 6) made up of a general first year and two years in one of the following three options: art, design or communication; a second cycle leading to a national qualification, the Diplôme National Supérieur d Expression Plastique / National Higher Degree in Visual Expression (DNSEP), in art, design or communication, awarding the grade of Master (semesters 7 to 10). Some schools offer third cycles or postgraduate courses, that may, or may not, lead to school qualifications, and university 3 rd cycles (PhD in collaboration with partner universities) leading in turn to a Doctoral degree. Five schools in the network award specific establishment certificates: the three parisian national higher schools (ENSBA, ENSAD and ENSCI), the École nationale de la photographie d Arles and Le Fresnoy Studio national des arts contemporains in Tourcoing. The rules of entrance tests are also specific to these schools. Entry to the first year in a higher school of art is made through an entry competition. Students are chosen following an examination open to all secondary level students having successfully passed the Baccalauréat (or an equivalent qualification in the case of foreign students). Exceptions can be made for students without a Baccalauréat. The admission exam is organized in two phases: a first phase composed of the following three elements: artistic practice, general culture, foreign language skills; a second, decisive phase made up of an interview with an admissions panel based on the candidates artistic portfolio. The organization of the competition and the modalities of admission are decided by each school. Admissions mid-curriculum are made through internal equivalence panels in each establishment. The admissions commission receives students who have already completed one or more years of study in a higher art school under the responsibility of the Minister for Culture. The Commission for equivalences is open to French students registered in a curriculum other than that of a higher art school and for foreign students who have already begun their studies in a country other than France. For foreign applicants, the portfolio must be translated into French and certified. 8 9

12 Higher schools of art accompany young creators, artists, designers and theoreticians on their educational path following a master s degree, developing a variety of high level, selective and specialized programmes that aim to favor insertion in the professional fields of art and design. To the programmes that are traditionally called professional postgraduate or sixth years, which have existed in different establishments since the 80s, is to be added 3 rd cycles, specific to art schools. These programmes are being set up in the context of research units (30 or so) and research programmes (over 80) that have been developed in art schools over the last ten years. The landscape of these post-master s programmes, validated or not by qualifications or establishment certification, is increasingly diverse and constantly evolving. Also, keeping in mind how professionalization and research in art done by artists and using art as its point of departure are interwoven, the interaction of different types of postgraduate educative processes can form new hybrid programmes

13 Third Cycle Study Programmes Research in art schools is present at every level of teaching. The three cycles of education progressively intensify the presence of research: though the question of research appears in the 1 st cycle, it is in the 2 nd cycle that the introduction to research is truly developed, and it is in the 3 rd cycle that students themselves become researchers. The 3 rd cycle is training through research and articulates individual and creative production in the creative fields. Third cycles nourish and are nourished by numerous occasional research programmes led by schools, alone, or together in association with other partners, and by research units, permanent structures dedicated to fundamental issues in art and design which aim to create spaces for the capitalization of knowledge and know-how. They radicalize, over long or short periods, for one, two, three or even more than three years, the approach already at work in the DNSEP, built for and with young artists, designers and theoreticians already operating within the professional fields of art and design. Some schools award their own establishment certificate. Certain schools, in partnership with universities, provide 3 rd cycle training validated by a Doctoral degree (PhD), the cycle being co-accredited and attached to a doctoral school. Often, these programmes belong to practical doctorates ; that place the artistic object and the creative activity at the heart of their thesis, with artists also participating in university panels. d Aix-en-Provence Locus sonus École européenne supérieure de l image Angoulême site Document and Contemporary Art de l agglomération d Annecy DSRA Advanced Degree in Research in Art de la photographie, Arles Practical Doctorate PhD in photography in partnership with the Aix-Marseille-Université d Avignon DSRA Advanced Degree in Research in Art d art de Bourges Locus sonus de Clermont Métropole Research Cooperative 3 rd cycle of research of the Ensba Lyon et de design Marseille-Méditerranée DSRD Advanced Degree in Research in Design La Villa Arson d art de Nice 5/7 Practice/Production/ Exhibition Les Ateliers École nationale supérieure de création industrielle, Paris Doctorate in Design in partnership with the hesam Université des Arts Décoratifs, Paris EnsadLab (6 research programmes, 2 ANR projects, 1 european programme) SACRe Doctorate PhD in Science, Art, Creation, Research in the framework of Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL Research University) des beaux-arts de Paris ARP Art Research and Practice SACRe Doctorate PhD in Science, Art, Creation, Research in the framework of Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL Research University) 22 23

14 Postgraduate Courses Postgraduate programmes are organized to take place over a short period (generally one year, but certain can be articulated over a number of years). Either they consist of a 6 th year of complementary training of professionalization, or they are part of creative residencies backed by grants, but not teaching in the context of a curriculum. In varying dimensions, postgraduate programmes allow professionals already engaged in their career to specialize, or realize a project while availing of the resources of the school and its artistic and cultural network (production logistics, the possibility of exhibiting in professional conditions...). Art schools also propose over twenty ongoing training programmes (3D animation, drawing, painting, photography, screen printing, video, participating artists, digital creation, ceramics...) the details of which can be found on the ANdÉA web site. et de design d Amiens Typography and language de la photographie, Arles International mobility postgraduate programme (exclusively for graduates of the ENSP of Arles) Research programme for foreign students d art de Bourges Document and Contemporary Art La Grande Ourse, research residency at the Parc Saint-Léger Center for Contemporary Art Laborintus Art and Sound Creation d arts de Paris-Cergy La Grande Ourse, research residency at the Parc Saint-Léger Center for Contemporary Art Residency at Chelles École média art Fructidor, Chalon-sur-Saône (Grand Chalon) Kinetic Melodies (musical writing of the image) d art de Dijon La Grande Ourse, research residency at the Parc Saint-Léger Center for Contemporary Art du Nord-Pas de Calais, Dunkirk-Tourcoing CE2A Art school teacher certificate (sixth year) d art de Limoges Kaolin international postgraduate course Art and Design in Contemporary Ceramics Art postgraduate course of the Ensba Lyon Pavillon Bosio École supérieure d arts plastiques de la ville de Monaco Postgraduate course in art & set design of the Pavillon Bosio d art de Nancy ANRT National Workshop for Typographic Research École Shanghai offshore creation and globalization research programme in partnership with the d art de Dijon École supérieure des beaux-arts Nantes Métropole Fieldwork: Marfa Les Réalisateurs et de design d Orléans Postgraduate course in design-research des beaux-arts de Paris La vie tumultueuse des œuvres d art contemporain / The tumultuous life of Œuvres of Contemporary Art Guest Artist Programme for schools Les Ateliers École nationale supérieure de création industrielle, Paris Specialist Master s Degree in Creation and Contemporary Technology Specialist Master s Degree in Innovation by design Post-master s Degree in New Design École européenne supérieure de l image Poitiers site Document and Contemporary Art Advanced Training in Culinary Design Postgraduate Course in Design & Research Le Fresnoy Studio national des arts contemporains, Tourcoing Degree from Le Fresnoy 24 25

15 Centers for Validation of Acquired Experience The system of validation of acquired experience (VAE) allows employees to validate their professional and/or voluntary experience, with a view to obtaining a qualification, a title with a professional utility or a certificate of qualification appearing on a list established by the national commission for employment in the specific professional field, and appearing in the national directory of professional qualifications (RNCP). The applicant wishing to have their skills validated must be able to justify at least three years of activity with a direct connection to the desired qualification.

In a context of the restructuring of the landscape of higher education, the association intends to promote and develop a unique model of teaching and research, which is characterized by the primacy of its reference to the field of art, to its values and its models irreducible in this sense to the single field of academic higher education but capable, for this very reason, of enjoying a fruitful relationship with the self-same. The ANdÉA fully and wholeheartedly contribute to the debate of contemporary ideas, by arguing in favor of the unique, emancipatory model of art schools, at a time when both education and creativity have become political, social and economic issues of the utmost importance.
