• Drawing / Drawing Studies

To draw well, one must first develop observation skills (perspective, scale, geometric forms...). An initiation to different techniques (pencil, charcoal, ink…) and effects (shadows, reflections, opacity…) follows.

• Life Drawing

Rigorous observation is necessary to learn the body’s anatomy, proportions, and volumes. Drawing from a live model for long and short periods offers an analysis of the body’s movement.

• Outdoor Sketching

The student uses drawing guidelines for architectural space studies, and also interprets each particular mood. As a group, the sketches evolve in the form of a “travel notebook.”

•Color

Working from basic theoretical studies (the chromatic circle, contrasts…) integrated at the beginning of the year, the student then undertakes different techniques using color. His research includes various supports and materials (photo, painting, collage…), and cultivates his personal vision.

• Creativity

This hybrid workshop uses a maximum number of fine arts techniques to encourage the exploration of expression, curiosity and reflection. It is a melting pot mixing cultural, intellectual and aesthetic references.

• Fashion / Textile / Decoration / Accessories Workshops

The designer is not only a creative talent; he is also a link in an enormous industrial production chain employing tens of thousands of people in France.

• Graphic Design / Illustration / Multimedia Workshops

We live in a universe of images and the graphic designer’s work is everywhere (posters, logos, websites, CD covers…). His work, a “visual bridge,” is often integrated into a global communication approach.

• Volume / Object Design / Scenography Workshops

Everyday living, beyond just objects or space, influences product and interior designers. Their work integrates the complex process of transversality more than in any other discipline.

•Space / 3D / Animation Workshops

Sectors in constant evolution , the animation 3D and the conception of video games, ask to associate to a perfect control of state-of-the-art softwares a coherent and rigorous step of creator.

• Field Trips to Exhibitions

Artistic training cannot bypass direct contact with works of art, and field trips to exhibitions provide instruction on classic art works.

•Computer Graphics

All applied arts programs must dedicate time to training the skills needed to use software programs for creation. Lisaa computer classrooms are furnished with modern computers equipped with the last programs.

• English

Mastery of the English language is essential in the applied arts fields. Classes are formed based on students’ levels in English.

•Art History

Studies on the connection between fine arts and applied arts, from prehistory to 20th century conceptual art give students a complete and essential general culture.
