Curriculum

The Preparatory Class in Applied Arts is the antechamber of our diploma courses. It allows the novice student to learn the fundamentals and to discover different artistic fields in order to choose an orientation in line with his personal aspirations.

The lessons favor experimentation, creation, the acquisition of an artistic culture, which leads the student to reveal himself and to gain in maturity. With the exploration of the first creative techniques, he discovers the extent of the possibilities and forges his creative character.

The preparatory year in Applied Arts allows, finally and above all, to clarify one’s professional project and to affirm a choice of orientation among the courses offered.
