4 COURSE OPTIONS art Option The art option focuses on artistic creation, for which the objectives and resources are chosen freely by the artist, depending on their personal aesthetic, social and political commitments. The Brest site trains artists and designers; the art option aims to pass on the conceptual tools and techniques required to work in arts and visual creation. In Lorient, artistic research and Visual arts practices are embodied in the concept of narratives : creating images (drawing, photography, computer design, video), storytelling and literary practice, graphic design and editorial design. In Quimper, the unique Art option provides teaching open to all forms of practice, featuring a strong collective dynamic ( platforms ) coupled with each student s personal artistic research. Art teaching in Rennes focuses on experimentation, critical thought and openness to all forms of expression. DNAP >> in Brest, Lorient, Quimper and Rennes DNSEP >> in Brest, Lorient, Quimper and Rennes Artist, Visual artist, sculptor, videographer, photographer, cultural mediator, exhibition curator, gallery owner, stage manager, etc. design Option The EESAB design option favours a pluralistic approach to the profession of designer. The school teaches a method that systematically encourages research, critical distance and creativity to stimulate the relationship of people with their environment, objects and their use, using a project-based approach. In Brest, the approach is centred on the object s practical relationship with world around it, including its social, spatial and cultural context. Rennes takes a fundamental, cross-disciplinary approach to design, focusing on three broad areas: urban design; landscapes and artefacts; and scenic and digital design.
