Programme description
Project education, personal experimentation. Artistic teaching; general teaching (philosophy, semiology, history of art ...) and training in the techniques of animated cinema: animation, direction, sound, etc.
Philosophy
A different pedagogical approach: the diversity of students, both in terms of their knowledge and particularly their imagination, requires a different pedagogy approach. Each student is an individual who deserves special attention and orientation. Their education should result in helping the students to build through their own knowledge, their own style.
We offer means, which allow them to learn how to learn, rather than to deal with ready-made experiences.
