Research, experimentation and personal project

As today terms like globalization or transversality are still debated and crucial issues, a teaching limited to a single orientation cannot respond efficiently to the constant mutation of artistic practices in contemporary society. Multidisciplinarity contributes to this current debate. The AP (Multidisciplinary Workshop) is compulsory, and its pedagogy is based on research and experimentation in relationto the students’ personal projects.

The studies are organised as a bachelor articulated around three artistic clusters – Art, Media and Narration – and gathering 13 orientations Digital Arts / Comics / Animation Cinema / Visual and Graphic Communication / Graphic Design / Drawing / Illustration / Installation-Performance / Painting / Photography / Sculpture / Typography / Video. In each cluster, a multidisciplinary workshop offers a curriculum based on experimentation favouring the opening up of artistic disciplines and collective experiences. All the orientations taught at erg come together in larger groupings, and are thus not considered as isolated elements. This pedagogic approach offers another feature artistic support and technique courses. Supplementing the artistic curriculum, they allow each student to widen their horizons and strengthen their choices. The choice of artistic support courses is completely free, and is to be made among all the orientations proposed at erg.

erg mainly focuses on the student’s project and the learning of methods designed to address multiple and mutating challenges. The students are encouraged to develop a personality of their own, to make a stand, to think off the beaten tracks. Experimentations are initiated as early as the first classes of Bac 1, and progressively shift toward personal researches until the artistic jury.
