ENSAAMA is a state school run by Ministry of Education and Region Ile de France. general description of the institution ENSAAMA stands for Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d Art. ENSAAMA is a state school run by Ministry of Education and Region Ile de France. It was formed in 1969 from the merger of two, much older, schools: École des Métiers d Arts, founded in 1941 at Hôtel Salé, and École des Arts Appliqués à l Industrie, founded in Both of the founding colleges were internationally renowned for the work of their students and staff. We have an outstanding reputation for educating undergraduate and postgraduate students from all parts of France and abroad in all fields of design as well as contemporary crafts. Our mission is very much focused on making sure that our graduates are fully equipped to enter the labour market and impact the business world significantly. This implies concentrating on the development of autonomy, individual creativity, technical, analytical and team working skills and working hand in hand with professionals and the industrial world. We also insist that our graduates have a good general knowledge and a good command of English so that they might plan to have careers either in France or abroad. 1

3 We use the origins of our school as a means to develop multidisciplinarity and encourage our students to learn from what is done in studios other than theirs. This further equips them for their professional lives by developing their adaptability and curiosity. The school has long-standing relationships with the art and design industries and our permanent teaching staff, all experts in their subject specialisms, are supported by associate and visiting lecturers who are active practitioners in their chosen fields. So that students work in a semi-professional environment and are given the benefits of many projects with outside clients, external projects and placements. They also mix with professionals at fairs and take part in selected professional competitions. We never take our excellence for granted and keep adapting them to the requirements of our changing world. The marketing and industrial paradigms our economies were built upon are currently shifting. Western companies have to make the shift from industrial productivity and quality as criteria of success to innovation as a means of restoring competitiveness. In this context, we act as a center of innovation, that train tomorrow s designers as well as nurture the companies of the future. Design introduces flexibility, innovative strategy and transversality in companies and might very well be the key element to make the shift successfully. In their capacity to combine creation, innovation and social and economic constraints, designers have a major role to play in the necessary evolution of western companies, as they are conveyers of innovative entrepreneurship. list of programmes offered undergraduate programmes : design product design spatial design communication design : space and volume visual communication and multimedia ceramic design textille design undergraduate programmes : contemporary crafts stained glass fresco and mosaic lacquer metalwork synthetic materials postgraduate programmes : industrial design visual communication interior and environment design spatial branding fashion and textile innovation ceramic design (to come) contemporary crafts ( ) design strategy (Master2 Jacques Viénot) general admission requirements For undergraduate degrees, the minimum admission requirement is a baccalauréat or official equivalent.

5 ECTS credits have two essential functions: a) transferability (standardized way of credits determination enables their transfer among universities where students complete individual courses b) accumulation (standardized way of credits determination enables the accumulation of individual course credits within a study programme or a study branch with the aim to provide for a quantitative assessment of study duties completion, which is a standard of 60 ECTS credits/year. ECTS credits are based on the scope of a study load required for the completion of the identified learning outcomes. Learning outcomes describe a student s achievements, knowledge, understandings and abilities after the course completion. Study load includes all the learning-based activities aimed at the achievement of the assumed learning outcomes. These are namely lectures, tutorials, independent work, studio sessions, individual and projects, self-study and preparation for exams. 60 ECTS credits are attached to the workload of a fulltime year of formal learning (academic year) and the associated learning outcomes. At ENSAAMA, student workload is about 1,500 hours for an academic year. Credits are allocated by the Director and its «Comité de pilotage», in accordance with the official reference frameworks for national diplomas. These are adapted to the specificities of ENSAAMA. arrangements for academic guidance. The director and vice-director are in charge of study and educational activities while the head on international relations is in charge of ECTS institutional coordination.

It is aimed at providing a good foundation in arts, helping students choose the right pathway, and serves as a probationary year for the rest of the undergraduate course. Course content Pace and quantity of work make the foundation course quite a difficult one. The year is divided into three terms during which the students are regularly assessed. Teachers comment on the level achieved by each student in April. Students build up a personal file that will serve as a passport for future applications including those for placements. Entry requirements Admission to the foundation course is granted no more than one year after the completion of secondary education. Selection is based on academic records. After the first year Students do not necessarily stay at ENSAAMA. They can apply for a BTS or DMA in another school. Semesters : 2 ECTS credits: 30/sem qualification awarded : none, L1 level of qualification : Bac +1 Specific arrangements for recognition of prior learning (formal, non-formal and informal) Students who have studied applied arts in secondary education may skip this year.

Students study diverse documents and research is essential. Literature and more particularly contemporary and international literature is considered an important component to foster deep thinking, invalidate stereotypes and generate surprise through ambiguity and unexpexted paradoxes. EXPRESSION Written works are produced and assessed. They take the form of 8

10 rigorous and codified analysis and argumantation exercices with language and style as major quality criteria. Students will also produce fiction and study various genres. Oral presentations are also quite important as they require proficiency in research, synthetic and enunciation skills, use of ITs, technical tools and pictures. Oral presentations trigger cultural curiosity and openmindedness and put communication skills to the test. Teaching is very much oriented towards accompanying uses and needs to be applied in professional fields. Hence it is oriented towards learning how to percieve texts and pictures with a critical and autonomous mind. Even though no particular reading is required, reading the press, literary works and theoretical works regurlarly is highly recommended.

Students usually are beginners with regards nude drawing so that the course first aims at having them practise observing professional models and representing them in 2D. Short periods of observation (5 to 8 minutes) and the use of chalk, brushes etc. allow them to apprehend movement, propotions, equilibrium in one stroke. Each session consists in 45 minutes of sketching, a 10-minute break, the analysis of the productions and then another 45-minute sketching session.

The course deals with a practical, experimental and sensitive approach of the vivible and its representation. Working on documents, students will represent graphically what they see and understand, including perspective, point of view, framing, clair-obscure, chromatic relations, materials, etc. Multidirectional approaches are encouraged and should combine analysis and synthesis. Optical phenomena are studied as well as their representation through different mediums. Composition and structure are an important element in the course. 12
