Bachelor in Plastic, visual and spatial arts : Painting

About this programme

The preoccupations of contemporary art have shaken the classical framework of the artistic field. We see easel painting more often alongside new artistic forms such as art in situ, urban art, installation art, performance, online art, video art, etc. Technological advances as well as new means of expression have allowed artists to create an approach that combines several artistic disciplines. At this time, the term plastic artist is therefore reserved for painter artists. Thanks to its multidisciplinary orientation, the Painting programme attaches great importance to contemporary realities oriented towards this diversity of means. Being an artist, in other words practising art as a profession, is to subscribe to a field where several worlds of art and several families of artists coexist. In order to find their way, artists have to build their own system based on the transgression of frontiers, innovation and originality of their production. These days, in parallel with their creative activities, artists engage in various activities connected to their profession. Indeed, with the development of educational services and the mediation of cultural and museum operators, these institutions are increasingly calling on artists to assist with educating the public, animating workshops, setting up artistic and interactive events, etc. Going forward, students in plastic arts can achieve not just an art degree but also one or several specialisations in fields as varied as artistic and cultural mediation, scenography and exhibition staging, socio-cultural animation, teaching or exhibit
