Transdisciplinary curriculum Bachelors - Masters

erg's teaching is differentiated by a transdisciplinary approach in which students, teachers and the administrative team work together to make school. Also, the various pedagogical spaces of the school combine artistic, collective and theoretical practices and set in motion new plastic forms, new knowledge, new ways of being together,

Students also have the opportunity to confront themselves, outside of their main orientation, with other practices in the context of internal internships, workshops and seminars offered by outside guests or in the various experimental spaces provided by the school. (video editing room, super 8 lab, sound room, print-lab, etc.).

research and experimentation

At erg, the emphasis is on the student's project and learning methods capable of responding to multiple, mutating challenges. Students are encouraged to forge their own personalities, to take a stand, to invent outside pre-established patterns. Experimentation begins as early as the first classes in Bac 1, and gradually develops into personal research, right up to the artistic jury.

From the second year onwards, students must choose an internship from among all the orientations (different from the first choice), or from among the Serigraphy, Wood, Lino and Litho Engraving, Metal Engraving, Group Practice / BàG Management, Group Practice / Art Projects / Production Box courses.

theory and practice

Theoretical courses are an essential component of the curriculum, and are fully complementary to the artistic workshops. They allow a further exploration of methodologies, of personal or collective propositions, as well as spaces of mediation and forms, apprehended in their historical and critical perspectives.

technical courses

The spaces for production and action are diversifying. The first years are the time for maximum experimentation with these spaces. Experimenting with what a workshop is: a computer, a table, a stage, a kitchen. Not only are the classes multidisciplinary workshops, but the school itself can also become so: auditoriums, specific classrooms, cafeterias, exhibition spaces. The plastic realisation of ideas, projects, commissions, acts of communication is a process that happens, that operates in its very realisation. It is necessary to go through this process: to imagine, to do, to see, to say. It is necessary to accompany the students' risk of exploring the areas outside of all kinds of manuals. In order to be able to ask the question of the conditions of production, it is a question of opening up and understanding the tools they have in their hands: software, pigments, typography, films, voices, etc. Is the form determined by history, by computer companies, by technical limits, by economic means, by the workplace?
