LETTER FROM THE DEAN
Paris College of Art encourages students to think and act globally while seeking inspiration locally in the rich cultural environment that is Paris. We believe in the notion of a curated education in which each student develops her own path to academic success.The College encompasses a rich range of educational offerings, and maintains affiliations with some of the most important French educational and cultural institutions. Paris College of Art is a dynamic forum for developing artists to exchange ideas, methods, and professional practices. Our faculty, students, and staff come from a variety of cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds, and these diverse perspectives nourish the intellectual and artistic growth of our community.
Linda Jarvin, PhD, is the Dean of Paris College of Art (Paris, France) and an Associate Professor at Tufts University (MA, USA). She received her PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Paris V (France) and her postdoctoral training at Yale University (USA). She has extensive experience with curriculum planning and development, designing and implementing professional development opportunities for teachers and higher education faculty, and facilitating programmatic evaluation in the United States and abroad. Nationalities: Swedish / American Languages: English, Swedish French, German, Italian
The school thus combines the advantage of a boutique school with a low faculty - student ratio allowing for individualized attention with the stimulation and broad range of perspectives that our truly international community of artists, designers, and scholars offers. Our students’ creativity and curiosity are nourished by exposure to new ideas and expanded views. Through cross-cultural and interdisciplinary interactions, our students prepare for the world in which they will seek work and inspiration. We enable students to build a strong base for artistic practice, and equip them with the skills and techniques that allow them to thrive as artists, designers, and scholars. The curriculum offers opportunities to hone the interpersonal collaborative skills that professional artists and designers need to be successful in their chosen careers. Paris College of Arts (PCA)’s campus consists of three locations within central Paris, an international capital for art, design, fashion, and culture. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of the historical and contemporary inspiration the city and our partner institutions have to offer. PCA provides rich opportunities for the motivated student to have a lasting impact on 21st century art, design, and fashion. Welcome to our community!

PARIS COLLEGE OF ART
Paris College of Art
Paris College of Art (PCA), an American college with degree-granting authority from the State of Delaware and accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), has a dual mission: • To provide the highest international standard of art and design education taught within an American pedagogical paradigm, while being influenced and informed by our French and European environment; • To open up French educational opportunities to the world and international education to the French.
8
Paris College of Art (PCA) promotes the artistic and intellectual maturation of promising students into exceptional professional artists, photographers, designers, design managers, and art historians through a rigorous art, design and liberal arts education.
Established in 1986 to provide the highest standard of American education to undergraduates in fine arts and design wishing to pursue degree options in Europe, today Paris College of Art continues to fulfill that mission. With the resources of our location in one of the world’s most resplendent cities, we emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to academic programs. We draw students from around the world and the spontaneous cultural diversity this engenders complements the program and fosters a critical sensitivity toward the globalization of visual culture and its impact on respective art and design fields. Our multicultural environment nurtures artistic practice as well as individual growth and the intimate size of our classes provides an optimum environment for developing the discipline and skills required for our students’ artistic pursuit. While
Paris College of Art
our classes are taught in English*, we encourage students to study French so that they can take full advantage of their time in Paris. At Paris College of Art, we encourage students to develop personal expression through creative problem-solving and process-oriented research. Our methodology gives students a competitive advantage, both academically and professionally, while emphasizing ethical interaction with society as a whole. Through our international faculty of working professionals, we maintain close ties with the Parisian art and design culture. Special events, exhibitions and conferences bring students in intimate contact with their distinctive European setting. Graduates of PCA receive Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Business Administration degrees issued under PCA's degree-granting authority from the state of Delaware and accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The European Network of Information Centers in the European Region
and National Academic Recognition Information Centers (ENIC-NARIC) provides official recognition of the equivalency of degrees in Europe. For every graduate of the school who wishes, PCA prepares and transmits their diploma and transcripts to the ENIC-NARIC in order to obtain this valuable recognition. In addition, the Rectorat of Paris recognizes the school as a private institute of higher education. *With the exception of CUPA classes, which are all taught in French and Atelier of Art, which is taught in English and in French.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no future without creativity and we have seen tonight that creativity belongs to youth. It is quite amazing to see so much talent coming from so many countries and so many visions of the world.â&#x20AC;? Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, PCA Fashion Show President 2012

CAMPUS
Paris College of Art
While the larger campus is certainly Paris, with its museums, historical sites and contemporary art venues, the facilities of Paris College of Art are ideally suited for the creative endeavors proposed in the classroom. In Fall 2013, Paris College of Art (PCA) will expand its campus with the opening of the PCA Design Center located in the 10th arrondissement. The PCA Design Center will reunite all the academic departments under one roof. With an additional 2,550 fully air-conditioned square meters we will double our facilities including: an amphitheater able to seat 200, a new gallery space, student and faculty social spaces, a private landscaped courtyard, and many new light and airy classrooms with amazing views of Montmartre. With the addition of our new facilities, students of Paris College of Art (PCA) will have designated social/ eating spaces, out-of-class workspace, greater access to computer
12
labs and new classroom facilities. All will enjoy the neighborhood of the PCA Design Center, with its easy access to the textile stores of Montmartre, one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best photo service stores just 170 meters from our front door, many theaters, performing arts studios, and the offices of many creative agencies as well as many cafĂŠs, traiteurs, and restaurants nearby. While embracing the new we will hold on to our past: the historic rue Letellier building will become PCA Studios hosting our 3D laboratory, photography studio and silver processes darkroom, print-making and textiles lab, studio classes as well as art studios for senior students.

Paris College of Art
PARIS For the students of Paris College of Art the city around them is also their campus, library, research center and laboratory. Every art and design discipline finds expression in the streets, shops, and cultural centers of Paris and moving through the city each day is an opportunity to observe new trends and find inspiration.
Paris is #1 in the QS TOPUNIVERSITIES Best Student Cities Ranking 2012: “…situated in the heart of Europe, Parisian graduates are targeted by a vast range of employers throughout the continent; and perhaps most importantly for students, all of this takes place in one of the most historic, culturally vital and beautiful cities imaginable…Paris is frequently rated as one of the most livable cities in Europe, and it scores highly in the quality of living indicator…it's also a city that excels in the things that come for free.”
Paris
FDI magazine ranks Paris among the 3 most important and influential cities in the world, and in the luxury industry we have the market cornered with 8 out of the 10 top international brands headquartered here. As well, the 2012 summer issue of Monocle ranks Paris ahead of Berlin, London and New York for quality of life.

Paris
Not only does Paris lead the way for international design and fashion, Paris is a forerunner in the concept store movement: Colette on the rue St. Honoré was one of the world’s first and has been followed in Paris by Merci, Kiliwatch and l’Eclaireur. In Paris small boutiques still hold sway against the tide of chain stores, and artisanal production, such as haut couture embroidery produced by la Maison Lesage, is highly prized. Paris, the birthplace of many artistic and design movements (Dada, Nouveau Réalisme, and Art Déco) continues today to be a major center for contemporary art and photography. Art fairs in Paris such as FIAC, Drawing Now and Paris Photo, draw artists, photographers and collectors from around the world and are must dos on the international art world calendar.
France is known for great pictorial art, and this tradition informs the fields of illustration and graphic design: the bandes dessinées artists of France and Belgium are among the most influential in the field of comic art. Graphic design in France is characterized by its irreverence for commercialism and its use of the visual image to create impact and communicate. Access to the wealth of visual resources of these fields nourishes students’ visual vocabulary and feeds the growth of their own vision and style. France is deeply committed to the arts and culture and public spending in these sectors is among the highest in the world. This belief in the importance of art and design makes France and Paris in particular a great place to study artistic disciplines.

CULTURAL AND RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS
Cultural & Research Partnerships
Paris College of Art has relationships with many of the greatest cultural institutions in Paris through which our students have exclusive access to library resources, studio facilities, internships, and research opportunities.

"When I did an internship at the Bibliothèque Kandinsky I met people that were so fond of art and design. It was like having a guided visit to a different museum every day, I learned so much".
CENTRE NATIONAL D’ART ET DE CULTURE GEORGES POMPIDOU The Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou was the initiative of President Georges Pompidou (1911-1974), who aspired to create an original cultural institution in the heart of Paris dedicated to modern and contemporary creation, where the visual arts interact with theater, music, cinema, literature and the spoken word.

BIBLIOTHÈQUE KANDINSKY, CENTRE DE DOCUMENTATION ET DE RECHERCHE DU MUSÉE NATIONAL D’ART MODERNE, CENTRE DE CRÉATION INDUSTRIELLE The collections of this specialized, international, heritage-oriented library affiliated with the Centre Pompidou are intended for research and exhibition purposes. They are exclusively devoted to 20th and 21st century works of art, design, architecture, photography, film, video and new media. Originally reserved for museum curators, the library exceptionally allows associated researchers and students enrolled at PCA to access the collections, under the academic supervi-
sion of PCA instructors. Paris College of Art and the Bibliothèque Kandinsky have created a joint framework which provides internship opportunities for students with strong academic merit and demonstrating proficiency in French.

LES ARTS DÉCORATIFS
18
Since 1882, the institution known as "Les Arts Décoratifs" has worked to promote the applied arts and develop connections between industry, culture, and design. Their research library is dedicated to the decorative and applied arts. With its impressive collection of 120,000 publications, it is an invaluable resource for researchers and designers, and it plays an integral part in the institution’s missions of education, preservation, and documentation. Paris College of Art (PCA)
supports the Bibliothèque des Arts Décoratifs through an annual donation dedicated to acquisitions for the collection. This partnership allows students and faculty of PCA privileged access to the library’s resources.

Cultural & Research Partnerships
IDEM GALLERY & PRINTING STUDIO In 1881, printer Emile Dufresnoy, established his fine-art printing studio in the Montparnasse area of Paris. The studio was taken over by the famous Mourlot brothers in 1976 who collaborated with great artists, such as Matisse, Picasso, Miro, Dubuffet, Braque, Chagal, Giacometti, Léger, Cocteau, Dubuffet, Calder… The 15,000 square foot, glass roofed atelier hosts thousands of lithographic stones of every possible shape and size and a set of presses are currently at the disposal of French
and international artists in quest of inspiration, among the most notable are: David Lynch, Ben, Sophie Calle, Claude Closky, Edward Koren, William Kentridge, Françoise Petrovitch, Pascal Dusapin, ToekoTatsuno, and Pol Baril. Through our relationship with Idem, PCA students have the opportunity to discover this historic art form and metier.

ÉCOLE LESAGE
20
In 1858 Charles F. Worth opened the first Haute Couture salon, and in the creation of his notable garments, using lavish fabrics and trimmings, he called upon the embroidery skills of what was to become the Maison Lesage. Thus began a close collaboration between Maison Lesage and the great fashion designers at the time (Paquin, Poiret, Redfern, Vionnet, Schiaparelli) that continues to this day. In 2002, Lesage joined the Chanel galaxy, but has remained the preferred supplier of embroideries to all the fashion greats: for Karl Lagerfeld, Lesage is an indispensable and irreplaceable partner.
The Maison Lesage is endowed with an inventory of over 60 tons of supplies among which are iridescent crystal, jet from the 1870s, cabochons, rhinestones, and glass beads from the roaring twenties. Guardian of the disappearing savoir-faire of the craft of embroidery, François Lesage established a school to pass on this great tradition. Since its inception in 1992 the École Lesage has unveiled its embroidery secrets and specialized knowledge to students from around the world. École Lesage offers PCA students with an opportunity to discover this great craft and be a part of preserving this technical and artistic heritage.

UNIVERSITÉ DE PARIS 1 PANTHÉON – SORBONNE In 2011, the Unité Mixte de Recherche (UMR) "Arts Créations - Théories - Esthétiques" (ACTE) and PCA joined into a collaboration with the Université of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the semiotics of art and design research division of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) to develop a variety of scientific projects. Laying the groundwork for this partnership, Bernard Darras (Paris 1) edited the third volume of “Collection” focusing on the connections between art and design and semiotics. During the 2011-12
academic year PCA and Université of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne participated in the Atelier de la Recherche en Design ARD 7 in Tunis, Tunisia, and in 2012-2013 there are plans to organize ARD 8 at the Université de Nimes, France. Through this partnership, our students have access to one of the most prestigious research facilities in social science, art and design in France. Students may receive guidance and support for research and development of their theses, as well as have the opportunity to attend seminars and conferences.

CENTRE DE RECHERCHE DU CHĂ&#x201A;TEAU DE VERSAILLES
22
The mission of the Centre de Recherche du Château de Versailles (CRCV) is to conduct and support research, in particular concerning the 17th and 18th centuries, on the court of Versailles and other European seats of power. This center for multidisciplinary and international exchange encourages new research and supports students and professionals in their projects. All aspects of the culture of the French court are studied at the CRCV, including the structure and function of curial institutions, the history of ideas, the development of the arts
and sciences, the conception of the palace and gardens and rites and ceremony, all fertile fields for the fundamental, comparative and applied research conducted and supported by the Center. The collaboration between the CRCV and PCA allows students to access the research tools of the CRCV and provides guidance and support for their research. PCA students are eligible to apply for a two-month summer internship at the CRCV.
Collection
COLLECTION: THE RESEARCH CENTER OF PARIS COLLEGE OF ART In 2008, PCA launched Collection, a research center dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of research in the fields of art and design. Under the direction of Dr. Brigitte Borja de Mozota, Collection operates a design observatory to evaluate the state of design research to develop innovation in pedagogy and proprietary research methods. The research center encourages the exchange of expertise between researchers and professionals through publications, conferences and applied research projects involving PCA students. Recent research projects include collaborations with electricity giant EDF, fashion brand American Retro, and Le Laboratoire as detailed in the Corporate Partnerships section of the catalog as well as Nekoé an alliance of businesses, academics and researches on the subject of excellence and innovation in service design.
Our latest initiative was a research symposium held during Designer’s Days in June 2012 and co–organized with Université Paris I Sorbonne: “Scaling up the Design Process: Designers’ Skills and Knowledge for Societal Change.” The symposium featured experts in macro-economics who investigated issues such as design as competitive edge, open innovation, and creative industries in the present immaterial economy. Les Doctoriales du Design supports faculty PhD research by collaborating with Institut ACTE Université Paris I and by conducting regular discussions on PhD development and research at the Lieu du Design near Bastille.

Students begin preparing for their careers the day they select the university at which they will study art and design. To further our mission to guide promising students into becoming professional artists, art historians, designers, and design managers, the Career Services Office, through one-on-one advising sessions and regular workshops on resume writing, portfolio presentation, job search techniques and interviewing skills, offers students the professional tools required to complement their creative skills as they enter the job market as young artists and designers.
PCA stresses the value of networking as a vital tool to starting oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career. Internships, through which students further their creative capabilities and are introduced to the professional aspects of their chosen areas of study, are an integral part of all of our academic programs. Corporate partnership projects, often done as class assignments, give students an invaluable opportunity to showcase their ingenuity to corporate executives. The Career Services Office and faculty in each department develop relationships in the industry to create internship opportunities and develop corporate projects for students. Such opportunities can lead to job offers and help students expand their professional contacts. Additionally, annual career and alumni events, at which graduating seniors meet industry professionals, provide an ideal environment to establish important networking relationships.
Career Services
NOTABLE ALUMNI The resources provided by the Career Services Office remain available to students post-graduation and graduating seniors are encouraged to become active members of the Alumni Association to help further their career development as well as that of the classes that follow.
In addition to a university education, the institution offers its students significant resources to help them enter the art and design field of their choice post-graduation, including, but not limited to, career counseling, networking and internship opportunities, interviewing skills, and resume and portfolio reviews; however, the PCA makes no guarantee, expressed or implied, regarding an individual studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success entering the job market as an aspiring artist, photographer, designer or design manager.

CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS AND PROJECTS PCA students gain real world experience and develop professional contacts through partnership projects with local industry and arts organizations.
FABRICA Fabrica, Benetton’s communication research center, invited Communication Design Juniors & Seniors to create animations for their Live Window Project. In fall 2011, students in the Motion Graphics class worked on video animations on the themes of Christmas and New Year’s that
were put on display in Benetton flagship stores in Barcelona, Munich and Milan over the months of December 2011 and early January 2012. In 201213, we will continue our collaboration with Fabrica working on the theme: “Unicef-Day.”
BIOTHERM (L’OREAL) In fall 2011 the Fashion Design Seniors we invited by Biotherm (L’Oréal) to design uniforms for the personnel of the Biotherm flagship stores in Asia. This real-world challenge obliged students to consider the values of the brand, the Asian target market while
keeping in mind the constraints of a uniform. The final presentation of the students’ creations held at the head office of L’Oréal Paris, was juried by a Biotherm team that selected the three winning projects.

In fall 2011 the students of PCA entered behind the scenes of the Pal ais Garnier opera house to experience the magic that goes into the production of a ballet: La Source. The students visited the different departments within the Atelier de Costumes: tailoring, knitting, headpieces, and dying. They also had the chance to observe some of the final fittings of the costumes for La Source that were des igned by Christian Lacroix.

PCA Communication Design and Design Management students developed three projects in response to this challenge of which one, the Piezo project, was selected to be displayed during major international events, starting with the London Olympic and Paralympic Games 2012.
PCA - EDF Project A Step in the Right Direction (above) uses piezoelectricity (energy created by applying pressure on certain materials) to transform the Châtelet-Les Halles public transport station into a sustainable ecosystem. Ecopoints (right) is a human-powered device that charges your phone while you play with a yo-yo or turn a crank. The Environmental Agents is an exhibition designed to raise awareness about sustainability and alternative energy sources aimed at children aged 8-10.

LE LABORATOIRE Le Laboratoire is a contemporary art and design center in Paris, where artists and designers experiment at the frontiers of science. An educational program of Le Laboratoire, the 2nd ArtScience prize Paris held in 201112 brought together engineering students from Ecole Centrale Paris, Telecom ParisTech, University College London, and design students from Strate Collège Designers and a Design Management from PCA . The students met once a week to work at le Laboratoire on the themes of “Virtual Worlds” and “Future Water.” They also participated in brainstorming sessions led by the founder of Le Laboratoire, David Edwards and went on site visits at the research and innovation partners of ArtScience Prize: Danone and Orange.
At the end of June 2012, Le Laboratoire organized the International Workshop, in which four PCA students participated alongside students from renowned institutions worldwide. The aim was to bring artists and scientists together to work on innovative projects with the participation of international experts. The students from Paris College of Art worked as “design mentors” by creating presentation videos, demos and prototypes for the products to be launched.

Sculptor
in the foundry
Tell us about your own professional practice.
I have been working in bronze for close to 20 years now. I learned bronze casting in a large industrial factory from some of the best mold makers in France. My greatest luxury as an artist is to cast pieces I want to make. I do a lot of commission work for architects and interior designers and some of the clients are rather high end. For example, I did the facade of Harry Winston on Rodeo Drive. I always have to keep a number of pieces in the works so that I have the ability to cast other sculptures: new pieces, experimental things.
Where do you find inspiration?
Most of my work is based on what I call dynamic surface patterns found in nature. For the last three years I have travelled around the world taking prints of species of flora and fauna that are close to extinction: everything from the skin of sleeping elephants in Kenya, albatross wings, giant petrels, and penguin flippers in Antarctica, pectoral fins of humpback whales and rare plants from Venuatu. All of this will be in a show as a sort of a tactile library…a herbarium in bronze.
How do you approach teaching?
What do you see is your role as a teacher?
Its all about process and I think it is very important to understand, from A to Z, how to make a bronze, because having that understanding will affect the way you conceive a piece. I teach the intricacies of tool use, safety, history of casting and a good part of the class is art history because you have to know where you stand in relation to the evolution of the medium.
As a working artists who actually pays the rent with what I do, I know what it takes to survive. By teaching my students to do one thing or another they fill up their intellectual tool boxes with all sorts of things that they will use for the rest of their lives. Even if they don’t become artists, my students will be able to walk into a workshop or a foundry and get a job. And if that’s the case then I have been successful. 41

What advice would you give to a student just starting out?
School was very important for my career - it was a lab where I was able to experiment together with other talented students and great professors.
As a freelance photographer I shoot portraits and fashion images for clients worldwide: for Magazines - New York Times Magazine, French Vogue, Vogue Hommes International, Elle, Glamour, Rolling Stone Magazine, GQ, Marie Claire and Advertising - H&M, Dior Homme, Lanvin, Filippa K, SAS, Audi, Nokia, etc. I also teach Fashion Photography at Paris College of Art.
Growing up in Sweden I gained discipline, punctuality and ambition and Paris has made me more flexible, relaxed but also more tough.
The location in Paris is fantastic and the school is small so you get to know most of the students, which creates a great sense of community.
All my friends and the good times on and off campusâ&#x20AC;Ś late nights in the darkroom, hard work and lots of fun!
Hold on to the good moments, there will be many. Paris attitude can be tough and rough but you will get by with just a little bit of patience.

Out of all your school projects this year, which is your favorite?
Where do you find inspiration?
Have you done an internship?
How do you keep motivated when things get tough?
What advice would you give to a student just starting out?
When I graduated from high school - I loved the Arts, but I also loved Economics, Biology, Sociology… So when I heard there was a program called Design Management that would enable me to study all of these subjects in an artistic environment, I knew I had to apply.
A project I did via Paris College of Art in collaboration with Le Laboratoire. I worked with four other students (3 engineers and 1 designer) to create a new packaging for Evian. It was great to experience the extent to which Art and Science are inherently and symbiotically connected, rather than being mutually exclusive - contrary to common belief...
It really depends. Recently, it’s been by talking with people - the things they say, the way they behave and the environment they’re in. I like assembling and integrating these observations into the structure of my work.
Yes, at the Bibliothèque Kandinsky. I met people that were so fond of art and design. It was like having a guided visit to a different museum every day, I learned so much.
I take a walk around Paris for an hour or two, then I come home, close all doors and shutters, switch my desk light on, and I get working.
Find something you love and work on that every single day. Make use of whatever fear and anticipation you may have, it’s actually an immense asset.

How has your Study Abroad at PCA experience affected your work?
Of the projects you did at Paris College of Art, which is your favorite?
I was able to take courses in different departments which allowed me to interact with students working in a range of disciplines from different backgrounds with varied motivations and experiences. I was encouraged to explore a variety of media and I learned to experiment without the harness of standard approaches.
My Sophomore Illustration Concepts project “Be your own Superhero” was my favorite. I chose to experiment with rotoscope animation and produced a spoken word reflection of the concept. It was a rewarding challenge!
What is your favorite hang-out in Paris?
I love strolling along the serene Quai Anatole France near the Musée d’Orsay with the view of the Seine. But my favorite hang-out would have to be in the metro. Sometimes I would remain after my stop and write poetry, sketch, and absorb my surroundings.
Was it hard to adapt to life in Paris?
I believe I adapted pretty well, although for the first few days I was nervous. Through my class trips to museums and gallery exhibitions I had the opportunity to view interesting works while becoming familiar with the city through trial and error.
Has Paris changed you?
What advice would you give to a student just starting out?
Yes, definitely! I was able to become more independent - gallery hopping, grocery shopping, commuting and finding my way, despite my language deficiency, while experiencing French culture. Most importantly, I was able to grow and discover myself as an artist and as an individual.
Explore, get lost and don’t stress over it, enjoy the feeling!

When did you first realize you wanted to be an artist/designer?
I started drawing when I was 2. I drew a duck on a piece of paper over and over again every day until I was 5 and I gave the perfect one to my kindergarten teacher. I have continued to draw ever since and it has become a means of meditation.
Tell us about your own professional practice.
I have always fought against specialization. Especially today, being artistically polyvalent has served me well in pursuing my career in advertising as an art director working for clients like Louis Vuitton. I work together with other professionals as a team to give birth to beautiful creations. The challenge is to maintain a great idea with many hands involved and to solve problems quickly and efficiently.
What would you say distinguishes Paris College of Art from other schools?
The people: it is a very small school where a teacher can push a student individually. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one on one. It is a private education. The place: an old garage converted into a gallery space, small spaces connected with each other to make classrooms. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a labyrinth of creation.
What advice would you give to a student just starting out?
When you put yourself in the right environment, you just simply grow. Use this perfect environment to grow immensely.

Leetal Platt at De Gilles fabric shop
Why did you decide to do the Certificate Program?
Out of all the projects you have done at Paris College of Art, which is your favorite?
How have your studies here affected your ideas about your work and career?
I already have a BFA from NYU in film, and I have dedicated a ton of time and energy to my passion for film production but my sewing hobby began taking on a life of its own, and it became clear that the next step was professional training. However, I didn't want to go through a whole undergraduate degree program again and found the Certificate program to be an excellent way to "try out" fashion design before applying for fashion jobs or attempting a Masters.
The Certificates were asked to do an evening dress project but we had only three weeks to complete it. I ended up putting so many couture hand-sewn touches into the dress it ended up three weeks late, but it was so worth it because the time put in made it my standout portfolio piece of the year. Sometimes refusing to compromise pays off.
My options for the future have been significantly clarified and expanded. While I can continue working in film and photography it just so happens that my preferred medium is fabric and my expression is the figure. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered that my sewing hobby can be a career, and I am capable of pursuing this new path.
Have you done an internship in Paris?
I worked for Balmain for a few days during fashion week. It was an exceptionally excellent time that made me realize that the fashion industry is within reach. It also humanized the process significantly.
How has Paris influenced your work?
Coming from LA my work was crazy and loud and full of pop patterns like cherries. My garments at the end of the year were all sophisticated drapes in dark colors and the only pattern I used was made of x-rays.

When did you realize you wanted to be an artist/designer?
Out of all the projects you have done at Paris College of Art, which is your favorite?
A lot of people in my family work in economics and I’ve always hated it. I need art to express myself and to feel alive. It calms me. My mum is an artist so I guess she inspired me. I feel that ever since I was born I have wanted to become an artist.
There was a project in lab class where we had to make posters on animals. I made a poster with bugs although they are my biggest fear. It allowed me to express my fear to myself and in front of everybody. That was a very intense experiment for me.
How has your background affected your approach to your work?
I am Swedish and because of my origins I like having things clean and organized. I like clean white walls, for instance. Also, I like things that are not typical.
Where/when do you do your best work?
I work mostly at home but all my ideas come when I’m outside. Usually, they come when I’m out in the city with my friends and then I can express them after when I go home at night.
How do you keep motivated when things get tough?
I love art and it was my choice to study it. Therefore, everything I do is fun for me. I try to keep that in mind every time I feel a bit down. I like to plan on doing something nice after working. For instance, when I do my homework I think about the fact that I will go swimming after and it helps me be more efficient in my work.
What do you love most about Paris?
I love the sound of the language, even though I don’t know French.
Who would you most like to design something for?
Blizzard. I love what they do and I feel like there is so much to do with them. I feel that I can really bring my own contribution to the brand.

Aside from teaching Fashion Illustration, I have my own collection of high-end hand tailored jackets in pure wool, researched from 18th century masculine costumes and illustrated by hand in collaborations with young illustrators. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also currently working on my 9th book, about vintage boutiques in Paris.
How has your background affected your approach to your work?
My Nordic childhood and teenage years constitutes a never exhausted resource, a mental starting point in terms of memories, fragments, references and visual language which today form the fundamental layer in my work.

The preparation and the improvisation in the moment, the sharing and the transmitting, the joy to be found in being part of the progress these young people make as they discover their capabilities.
This school offers a more profound intellectual learning structure, springing from a broader and deeper curricular platform of research and resources in its approach to teaching design and fashion.
To understand the students and to guide them further in their individual development. To seek out and to reveal their qualities, to encourage self-discipline, to absorb knowledge, to question the present, and prepare for their professional future. 93

Graphic Designer, Digital Artist, Photographer & Sound Designer
It’s varied, I try not to focus on a single discipline for too long without mixing it up. Since all facets of art and design intersect and overlap, this approach makes sense to me. I practice digital art, graphic design, photography, sound design, and writing on a regular basis.
How do you keep motivated when things get tough?
I quit and do something else. I’m mostly aware of my creative biorythm, and if I’m not “feeling it,” I have a lot of faith that I will again. I never force the issue, and since I have a list of unmade projects a mile long, it’s not hard for me to switch gears and put my brain in a totally different space for a while, and then I can come back to the source of my frustration refreshed.
What do you like about teaching?
I’ve been teaching for five action-packed years and I’m constantly learning from everyone I meet. It’s a gift to be able to interact with creative minds in the workplace regardless of which direction the information is flowing. My job as a teacher is to empower students to make the work that they really want to make. I have little inclination to force them to conform. It’s no fun for anyone when students do exactly what I’m telling them to do.
What do you love most about Paris?
That I can bicycle or walk everywhere. Last year, during my bicycle commutes to the school, I started noticing the graphic design on tour buses that go through the city. I started cataloguing them, and within the year, the project was published as a photography book, "Eurobus", which is now for sale all over the world. It was that beautiful moment where several disparate facets of my life - photography, graphic design, abstractive observation, teaching, and bicycling - converged to create something bigger than the sum of its parts.

What do you like about Paris?
I am from Paris and this neighborhood is where I spent my first years as an art student, studying graphic design. They were my first happy years at school...
I'm an illustrator for newspapers (Le Monde, Libération, New York Times, etc.), children’s books, posters, CD covers...
Everywhere, I try to be aware about everything happening in the art field, from Illustration to Fashion, Design, Painting, Architecture, etc... I also check out nice blogs on the internet such as: www.brwnpaperbag.com and myvintageavenue.blogspot.fr.
At home, listening to disco music! Sometimes I take a break to practice my best dance moves, between two drawings...
15 years, first in a small department in the suburbs of Paris and then at Corvisart and Atelier de Sèvres since 9 years. The mix of students and teachers coming from so many different countries really distinguishes Paris College of Art from other schools. I see my job as a teacher is to act as a guide to help students to get their work more mature, more connected with the real world, outside school. I like to share my own personal experiences to help the students to have a clear vision of what being a professional illustrator is about.
There are a lot of really good illustrators working in Paris, so you can find many interesting points of view and have exchanges about illustration.

How has your background affected your approach to your work?
Where do you find inspiration?
When do you do your best work?
I think all artists are in some, even small way, inspired by their own lives and experiences. For me, the experience of growing up as a first-generation American with parents who emigrated from the former Soviet Union affects my work deeply.
Current events, history, family snapshots… I’m inspired by subjects that seemingly have nothing to do with art.
When, after thinking for long time, I stop thinking and just do it.
How do you keep motivated when things get tough?
I bounce ideas off my friends and learn about their projects. Or I go to see a good movie or exhibition: that always gets me excited to get back into the studio or out to shoot!
How long have you been teaching?
I’ve been teaching for 3 years. In addition to Paris College of Art, I’ve also taught at Yale School of Art and the International Center of Photography in New York. As a teacher I enjoy the exchange of ideas, learning from my students and seeing the spark go off when they get really excited about something.
What do you love most about Paris?
I admit it, the usual clichés: cheese, wine, bread and the beautiful architecture. I originally moved to Paris when I was 18 and lived here for a year. I knew then that I just had to come back.

Out of all the projects you have done at Paris College of Art, which is your favorite?
What artists/ photographers have influenced you?
Do you collaborate with students from other majors within Paris College of Art?
My parents are art gallerists and ever since I can remember I have been surrounded by paintings/photographs/sculptures and have met many artists. I think that meeting all these people encouraged me to study art.
Photographing my sister! It started as an experiment but I ended up with great pictures and now my relationship with her is stronger. I photograph mostly women. During the second semester, I focused my attention on the role of women throughout history.
Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Wim Delvoye. Their art expresses strong ideas about society. Their work has helped me not to fear expressing my own ideas.
Having a dialogue is very important to me and I think that at Paris College of Art it is easy to communicate with everyone. I like sharing ideas with different people; it helps me clear my mind.
Why is art important to you?
Art is a way to express personal feelings. It allows me to exteriorize the thoughts that I cannot really express otherwise with people. I like the energy that I feel while creating or just thinking about the creation.
What do you love most about Paris?
I love walking at night because the architecture is really beautiful. When I leave I will miss the petit-déjeuner. I usually have it on Sunday mornings in the Marais before going for a walk with my friends. Paris has made me more confident. I’ve learned to live alone and have had the opportunity to know a lot of people from different cultures. .

Do you collaborate with students from other majors within Paris College of Art?
Where do you do your best work?
One of our last projects in school was to work with Design Management students. This project was great, we learned how to integrate business and fashion, which is sometimes hard for a creator. Another great experience was working with Kaamna Patel, from the Photo Department; she did great shots of my collection. It was a pleasure working together!
I choose to work in school, so that I always have a good sewing machine, a large table and all the tools I need in one place.
Out of all the projects you have done at Paris College of Art, which is your favorite?
My favorite project is my graduation collection. I think for every student designer, the graduation collection is the beginning of their professional career. It is the last time to experiment and go wild, yet, it is a most serious project as well.
What designers have influenced you?
I prefer to look at fashion images from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s rather than contemporary design - the American Library has a great collection of those.
Have you done an internship?
How has Paris influenced your work?
What is the best moment of the day?
I worked at Ungaro, I was a designer’s assistant and it was a great experience. I learned how the whole design process works in a real Paris fashion studio. All the skills I had learned in school came together once I became part of a professional design team.
Paris is a capital of Fashion. Haute Couture was born here. I always try to apply classical French tailoring into modern designs.
Best moment for me is the morning, I love coming in early and have a coffee with my classmates. 131

How has your background affected your approach to your work?
When do you do your best work?
Out of all the projects you have done at Paris College of Art, which is your favorite?
How do you keep motivated when things get tough?
What advice would you give to a student just starting out?
Inspiration is everywhere. It’s a matter of looking at things in a different way till they become interesting. I normally end up pondering over connections with people - loved ones and others; personas and vibes around me that remind me of what I admire and despise in myself/the world.
Being Pakistani can make me feel like an outsider sometimes - but it also seems to be one of the most interesting things about my life. There is definitely a voice within me which due to a different cultural air and language creates a dynamic conversation with my English speaking/thinking self.
Work spreads chaotically into life and projects evolve in different stages, so it’s hard to say - I would like to say ‘when I'm cozy and well-fed, a.k.a Sunday morning-mode'.
I am proud of my exploration of mediums in this last semester; my unconventional star series in bronze is exciting, so are the audio-video projection performances I recorded for sculpture class.
I write and read and sketchbook my stress - then create to do lists and schedules by the hour and try and work on many things at one time - so that I can always switch over and be getting something else done instead of being stagnant.
You have to love what you do! If you don't, stop doing it- and go do what you love to do!

STUDENT LIFE
Student Life

The cultural diversity of Paris College of Art combined with our location at the crossroads of Europe makes studying here a uniquely rich experience for young artists and designers. Student life is a blend of structured classes, studio time and extracurricular events including guest speakers, gallery openings, social gatherings and the discovery of the world beyond the walls of the school. Our close-knit student community is represented by an elected student council that organizes social events and brings issues before the school administration. During the term, excursions are organized both throughout France and beyond its borders.
Student Life
Recent student trips have included biking in the Loire Valley, visiting the Christmas markets in Bruges, exploring the art scene in Brussels, as well as excursions to nearby Giverny, Chantilly and Versailles. STUDENT LIFE OFFICE A resource for students from orientation to graduation and beyond, the Student Life office is both the center of student activities and a support network that helps students navigate the many practical aspects of life in Paris. The orientation program provides a week-long introduction to the French capital as well as an op-
portunity to meet fellow classmates, faculty and staff who form the school community. Student Life Counselors help students obtain residence permits (titres de sĂŠjour) and advise on practical matters such as banking, telephone and transportation systems and also insurance and medical referrals. Student Life also provides organizational support for the Student Council and the on-campus internship program, and provides students with a free, confidential, counseling service in English.

HOUSING & MEALS
For students who are new to Paris, finding a place to live in Paris can be both exciting and challenging. The Student Life office provides several different housing options, designed to accommodate students of different needs, preferences and budgets. Whether students wish to live in dormitory housing, in homestays or in independent apartments, Student Life provides individualized support to both incoming and current students in securing housing and settling in Paris.

the school’s Letellier Campus. The rooms are equipped with AC, WiFi and Ethernet, electronic keys and digital phones. Open to students 18 and older, the St John’s residence building has 24/7 security and receptionist, an on-site Residence Director and Residence Advisor, a library, lounge, computer lab and printers. The rooms are double occupancy and students share with other PCA students. INDEPENDENT LIVING PCA students are independent and cosmopolitan, so it is not surprising that many choose to find their own individual housing, whether in studios or shared apartments throughout the city. Student Life provides numerous resources to students in their apartment search, including a housing placement service through a partner agency, and relations with a number of agencies that cater to
international students. Upon acceptance to PCA, students receive information on the housing search process, including everything from how to sign a lease to a guide of Paris’s different neighborhoods. MEALS Paris is renowned for its food, and most PCA students take advantage of the city’s vast culinary offerings by preparing meals at home, eating in local restaurants or from takeaway shops in the neighborhood of the school. Additionally, through the CROUS, a public establishment of the French Ministry of Education, students have access to four restaurants and twenty university cafeterias where they can have a three-course meal for lunch or dinner for as little as three euros.

DEGREE PROGRAMS
PCA offers American degree programs in which students who successfully complete four years of study receive a Bachelor's Degree. In the fields of art and design, students receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (BFA) preparing them to enter their profession. Students can choose Art History, Theory and Criticism; Communication Design, Illustration, Fashion Design, Fine Arts or Photography. BFA candidates start in the Foundation Year; Photography students have the option of â&#x20AC;&#x153;direct entryâ&#x20AC;? into their major starting from freshman year.
Students interested in pursuing a career in business for the creative industries enter the Design Management program as freshmen; upon successful completion of the fouryear program these students receive a Bachelor of Business Administration degree (BBA)*, the recognized undergraduate degree in business in the USA.
*The Bachelor of Business Administration degree meets the NASAD standards for a Bachelor of Arts - Design Management (Multi-disciplinary design).

English Language Proficiency All of PCA's programs are taught in English and students must have a high level of English proficiency to be successful. As part of the Admissions process, non-native English speakers are required to submit TOEFL or IELTS test results so that we may evaluate their level of English proficiency. ENGLISH FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS All students for whom English is not their native language will be required to take a mandatory EIS placement test during Orientation at PCA. Through our internal assessment process we have found, regardless of the results from the TOEFL or IELTS that some students need reinforced English studies before taking on the challenge of our Critical Studies curriculum. Should it be deemed necessary, students are required to follow EIS courses during their first two semesters of study at PCA. For all EIS students, Critical Studies requirements normally completed in the first year must be completed in subsequent semesters or during the summer and may lengthen the time it takes to graduate. PATHWAY TO THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMS A preparatory year focusing on developing English language skills and an artistic portfolio, the goal of the new Pathway program is to enable students who have a strong artistic potential and need to strengthen their
English language skills to prepare for entry into degree programs in art & design taught in English. Pathway students follow a rich studio curriculum that introduces them to design, drawing (including outdoor and life model drawing), illustration, photography, and sculpture, as well as liberal arts courses in English, color theory and art history. The intensive English language classes cover oral and written communication, grammar and vocabulary, with special attention to the needs of an art and design student. The Pathway program is composed of seven months of instruction during the academic year (August through April), followed by a 12 week summer session. While successful completion of the Pathway program does not guarantee entry into the degree programs of PCA , it is tailored to prepare the student for our entrance requirements, both in terms of artistic portfolio and of language placement tests. Students in the Pathway program will have the opportunity to individually meet with PCA admissions counselors throughout the spring semester and will receive an early admissions decision before the end of their academic term in late March. Students will then be invited to pursue the Pathway intensive English summer course, at the end of which they will be given the PCA placement tests that determines whether the student can enroll in the regular Foundation program or in the English for International Students (EIS) program.

Degree Program Policies ACADEMIC PROGRESS In the American education system, the first year of the Bachelor’s degree is called the Freshman Year, the second is Sophomore Year, the third is Junior Year and the fourth is Senior Year. Academic Progress towards a degree is measured by 3 criteria: Qualitative progress Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum weighted average of all courses taken, called a Grade Point Average (GPA), of 2.0 to be considered in good standing and to qualify for financial assistance. Students are assessed by our faculty and external professionals through a range of exam formats, writings, performances, and critiques.
Degree Programs
Quantitative progress Students are expected to carry a full course load and to enroll in the correct number of Core courses and Critical Studies courses each semester. The academic committee convenes at mid term and after the end of each semester to review academic standing and progress of students.
150
Level review/curricular progress Satisfactory academic progress also requires that courses be completed in the appropriate sequence and that an adequate level of achievement be maintained in Core courses. Students who fail to meet this standard by performing poorly in or failing
required courses, but who are otherwise in good academic standing, will be placed on Departmental Probation and required to repeat specific classes, a semester, or academic year. THE AMERICAN CREDIT SYSTEM Students earn “academic credit” for courses they successfully complete. Credit load is calculated based on the number of in-class hours and the amount of homework required. Credits are differentiated into: studio credits for classes that require the creation of artwork; departmental credits for courses that contain material relevant to a student’s major; critical studies / art history credit for classes emphasizing the development of critical, analytical, and writing skills. RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT Student must complete at least four semesters of their undergraduate degree at PCA. Degree Curriculum The curricula of PCA are designed to prepare students for the rigors and realities of working as a professional artist, art historian, designer or design manager. On the following pages are the degree program curricula as intended for the 2012-13 academic year.

FOUNDATION
“The success of this program is based on the fact that we work with who is here - right here - right now. Therefore, courses and instruction are continually evolving. The students and faculty are from all over the world and bring to the school the diversity of their experience. This creates an extraordinary learning environment.” Chloe Briggs, Chair of Foundation 1 Chloe Briggs received her MA in Fine Arts/ Drawing from Wimbledon School of Art (UK) after which she completed a Graduate and Post Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Art and Design at the University of the Arts in London (UK). Before joining PCA Chloe taught at the UCCA Foundation in Maidstone and Rochester, UK. Her work has been exhibited throughout Europe and she is currently
conducting extensive research on the subject of Foundation programs: ‘A Conversation about Foundation’: research for ‘A Foundation Course Manual’ including recorded interviews with artists / educators / designers / writers in the US, Britain, and Germany about the history and future of the Foundation Course.

Foundation, the first year of our fouryear degree program, is built on the philosophy that there are fundamental approaches, skills and knowledge to be learned that are common to all creative disciplines. We encourage students to have a cross-disciplinary ‘foundation attitude’: to take risks, suspend disbelief and generally be open to new experiences and ways of looking at the world. At the same time major emphasis is placed on craft and skill. A primary goal of our foundation program is to give students confidence in their ability to make ideas. The studio and academic components of the program are dedicated to using Paris as an, ‘extended classroom’, drawing upon the city’s rich resources to inform and inspire student learning. Foundation is a diagnostic program; throughout the year students take part in events and workshops designed to introduce the specificities of each major offered at Paris Col-
lege of Art. Students are then able to identify their strengths as artists or designers and to make an informed choice about their future direction. In the last three weeks of the second semester, students work independently on a communal project. They are encouraged to respond with media and methods that are directly related to their chosen major. The results are exhibited in the end of year show, which the students help curate and hang, giving them the opportunity to learn about presenting work professionally to the public. The mix of social and cultural contexts from which the students and faculty come creates a unique Foundation year. In this environment, students are encouraged to think seriously about what contributions an artist or designer can potentially make to the world.

Students may apply to transfer into the second semester of the Foundation sequence if they have taken equivalent coursework elsewhere. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to decide which of the Foundation sequences the student may enter into based on the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portfolio and transcripts.
Curricula are adapted over time to respond to evolution of professional practices and industry needs. Participation in professional internships is also an essential educational element and preparation for employment after graduation. Elective offerings may change from semester to semester.

ART HISTORY, THEORY, & CRITICISM
“Paris is a city of such profound art historical significance and contemporary relevance in all creative fields that I truly envy the young student embarking on their studies today. The past, present and the future of art historical inquiry are all embedded in this one place.”

Dr. Vivian Rehberg received her PhD from Northwestern University (IL, USA). An art historian and critic specializing in modern and contemporary art, Vivian was the founding editor of Journal of Visual Culture, regularly contributes to frieze and Modern Painters and was formerly the curator at ARC/Musée

In addition to chairing the new Art History, Theory, and Criticism program at PCA, Vivian is course director of the Masters in Fine Arts at the Piet Zwart Institute/Willem de Kooning Academie (Rotterdam, Netherlands). Nationalities: American / French, Languages: English, French.
Degree Programs / Art History, Theory, & Criticism
The Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Art History, Theory, and Criticism is designed to prepare students to enter graduate level study in art history, theory and criticism, curatorial and museum studies, studio art, and liberal arts disciplines, as well as pursue careers in museums and galleries, private foundations, magazines and publishing companies, arts and other non-profit organizations or governmental agencies. Interdisciplinary in nature and structure, this BFA conceives of the studio and the classroom as complementary spaces for creative expression, and embraces the interaction of studio practice and academic work while emphasizing the inherent inventiveness of all research in the visual arts. Traditional studies in world art history are complemented by a special focus on modern and contemporary
art and on art writing. Studio classes in art and design disciplines spotlight traditional techniques and skills, but are also informed by more current and experimental approaches to a wide range of media.

Communication designers give form to information in advertising, publishing and editorial design, corporate and exhibition design, websites, multimedia, environmental graphics, signs and maps, film and video. In all these fields, the need to clearly and succinctly inform, entertain and persuade remains a critical concern. Located in an internationally renowned mecca for artists and designers, PCA offers Communication Design majors a unique opportunity to broaden their cultural and creative perspectives. Not only is the metropolitan landscape an ideal setting to experience graphic design in action, but the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant community of design professionals is a rich resource for students as they develop their own visual language.
The comprehensive curriculum at PCA establishes a solid foundation in visual form and design principles, as well as addressing the methodologies and issues behind contemporary graphic design. Visits to Parisian art and design institutions like the Pompidou Center, the MusĂŠe des Arts DĂŠcoratifs, and the Palais de Tokyo provide a wealth of opportunities to view the trajectory of European communication design from its historical roots through to its latest trends.

The unique combination of management, social science and design courses that make up the Design Management curriculum provide students with a thorough understanding of the complexity involved in the management of design, its practice and the social role it plays in everyday life. Students are introduced to designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multifaceted nature by gaining the basics of design thinking through a hands-on approach, which requires them to engage in the production of design and consider how to use design to create new value for business and society at large.

The use and function of design in businesses is explored through seminars dedicated to management and all its aspects. Students contextualize the role design plays in society through courses that introduce them to the history and sociology of design. Ultimately, students gain the ability to identify and manage design that is functional, ergonomic, aesthetic, sustainable and user-centered in virtually any business environment.

Degree Programs / Fashion Design
The art and business of fashion give form and function to clothing, a basic human need, imbuing it with meaning in the ever-evolving language of style. The core of PCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum is the designer critic program that emulates the workings of a professional design studio from conceptual drawing and pattern-making to the selection of colors, fabrics and the construction of finished garments. Students acquire an understanding of tools, materials, construction techniques and textile design methods, enabling them to express their individual creative visions. Intensive concept and design courses, weekly critiques, workshops with industry professionals and the study of Parisian prĂŞt-Ă -porter help students to develop originality and acquire an understanding of their craft.
Beyond the school atelier, exposure to textile trade fairs, designer shows and museum exhibitions all foster a keen understanding of the European marketplace. Visiting critics help familiarize students with the design requirements and specificities of various markets, while company-driven projects expose students to the real world challenges they will face in the business of style. Senior year culminates with the designer critic project in the first semester and the construction of a capsule collection in the second semester.

Degree Programs / Fine Arts
With Paris as its extraordinarily rich cultural setting, the PCA Fine Arts Department promotes the development of artistic skills, the expression of creative processes, and an informed awareness of how art practice intersects with current visual, cultural and societal concerns. Students gain a strong foundation in the artistic tradition via both established and new media, thus enriching their capacity for communication and expression as a whole. The curriculum balances a full investigation of traditional media: drawing, painting and sculpture, with extensive explorations in video, installation, photography and digital imaging. Elective courses in other departments open students to new and different methods and processes. Interdisciplinary
practice provokes students to pursue and develop individual artistic modes of inquiry. Application of theory and criticism shape students' ability to work and think critically and analytically. Courses in Art History and Critical Studies, critiques, debates and tutorials, and the considerable resources available in Paris, direct students to an informed exploration within both historical and contemporary art practices. Museum and gallery visits are an integral aspect of the curriculum.

The Illustration Department offers a modern, cross-disciplinary, narrative approach to image-making. Both traditional and contemporary illustration techniques are taught as well as cutting-edge technologies and animation. The faculty immerses students in rigorous educational experiences which continuously challenge and motivate them to redefine the medium. Imaginative, original and forward-thinking, the Illustration Department is a place where creativity and ingenuity flourish!

PHOTOGRAPHY
“A contemporary photographic practice is no longer the taking of images but the deliberate construction (making) of images”
Degree Programs / Photography
Andreas Brünglinghaus, Chair of Photography 1
178
Andreas Brünglinghaus received an MFA in Photography from the International Center for Photography and Bard College (NY, USA). His client list includes: Museum of Modern Art (NY, USA), Brooklyn Academy of Music (NY, USA),
FashionWeek (NY, USA), Deutsche Bank, etc. Nationalities: German / American, Languages: English, German, French.
Degree Programs / Photography
The photography curriculum balances analog and digital technologies with an emphasis on developing a creative vision and gaining a solid understanding of the image-making process. The program considers not only the technical aspects of image creation and production, but also examines how photographs are disseminated, presented, discussed, used, documented or archived: in short, how they function in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image driven society. The department equally addresses technical and conceptual skills, as both are essential to any photographic practice. Students are encouraged to explore a number of different interests and may attend courses in other departments such as Communication Design, Fine Arts, or Fashion, in
order to think about photographyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broader applications, implications and contexts. Through a core seminar structure, lectures, lab and studio courses as well as an internship, students gain first-hand experience from practicing photographers and learn about innovative, cutting-edge approaches relevant in photography, while defining their own unique way of working.

CRITICAL STUDIES
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Critical Studies courses ensure that our students graduate from PCA with a good grounding in the humanities, equipped with the capacity to think, write and communicate clearly and critically, both about their work and about the world.â&#x20AC;?
Degree Programs / Critical Studies
Dr. Noga Arikha, Chair of Critical Studies
182
Dr. Noga Arikha received her PhD from the Warburg Institute in London (UK) and was a fellow at the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies, Columbia University (NY, USA). She was Visiting Assistant Professor in the Humanities at Bard College and Bard Graduate Center (NY, USA) and currently serves as Vice-Director of APIA (Academies Project at the Italian Acad-
emy). Noga is an historian of ideas, writer, and author of Passions and Tempers: A History of the Humours (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2007), and of Napoleon and the Rebel: A Story of Brotherhood, Passion, and Power (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011). Nationality: French, Languages: English, French, Italian, German
The curriculum emphasizes art and design history, and is supplemented by the general Critical Studies courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The BFA and BBA degrees require students to complete 42 Critical Studies credits overall. Within the Critical Studies requirements, a minimum number of credits in art and design history is required of all students (12 credits for the BBA track; 18 credits for the BFA track). In the fall term of Freshman year, “Dimensions in Art & Design” serves as a key initiation to the historical examination and critical analysis of art and design across ages and cultures. Students learn to look at, contextualize, and interpret images and artifacts. They then put these abilities into practice in the Spring term with “Paris: City as Text & Image”, a case study that allows them to make use of Paris as a city that has been central to the history of art and design. Taken alongside these courses, the year-long “Critical Thinking & Writ-
ing” program is a crucial stepping stone to higher level courses, a foundational “great books” course for art and design students. It provides a general education in the humanities that combines the history of philosophy with the history of art and literary studies. Focused on the close reading of influential texts, it is geared at helping Freshman students develop as critical readers and thinkers, and acquire or perfect the writing skills they need.
Degree Programs / Critical Studies
The interdisciplinary Critical Studies curriculum provides students with historical, social, and critical perspectives on art, design and culture. The courses taught within the department help them understand how to place themselves within the world and within the history of their chosen practice, providing the contexts they need to navigate contemporary visual culture and cultural production in general. It teaches them the basic skills of research, writing and presentation that are essential to an education in the arts, enriching their vision and creative practice.
Following this, in addition to a set of core courses designed for the specific majors and degrees, a wide range of Critical Studies electives enable students to broaden their range of knowledge and sharpen their capacity for critical enquiry. PCA takes special advantage of its campus and location as an ideal environment for observing and exploring the social and cultural variety that is typical of a capital city in the 21st century. Visits to studios, museums, galleries and various cultural events expose students to historical and contemporary art and design. Senior level seminars address timely and provocative issues that help students develop ideas and make the choices that will enhance their own careers as artists, designers, and design managers. Critical Studies requirements for degree programs vary. Students should consult their advisor to ensure that these requirements are fulfilled appropriately. Under exceptional circumstances, and with the approval of the Critical Studies Chair, requirements may be taken out of sequence.
183
NON DEGREE PROGRAMS
Beyond our undergraduate programs, PCA offers full-time Certificate and Study Abroad at PCA student programs for those seeking in-depth study in art/design, management of design or art history, theory and criticism. Working side-by-side with our degree students, Certificate and Study Abroad at PCA students have access to all studio facilities, services and partnerships that the school has to offer.
Non Degree Programs

CUPA
Since its founding in 1963, the singular mission of the Center for University Programs Abroad (CUPA) has been to provide the highest quality study abroad experience to American college students in Paris. CUPA became a part of PCA in 2010. CUPA students are highly motivated, with a strong background in French and study in the University of Paris system and certain Grandes Ă&#x2030;coles and specialized institutes. In one-on-one consultations CUPA develops an individualized program of study for each student fashioned to meet their individual interests and requirements,
Non Degree Programs
CUPA students come from the following schools:
190
Amherst College Bard College Bates College Baylor University Brown University Bryn Mawr College Carleton College Carnegie Mellon University Claremont McKenna College The College of William and Mary Fordham University Georgetown University
over a semester, the full academic year, or summer. The program, conducted entirely in French with no instruction in English, provides all students with an advanced immersion orientation at CUPA before beginning their courses in the French universities. While providing a home base and a comforting structure, CUPA students are directly matriculated, do the same type of work as their French counterparts, and are strongly encouraged to participate in numerous activities in the Parisian context.

To be accepted for transfer as a sophomore into the BFA program (Art History, Theory and Criticism, Communication Design, Fashion, Fine Arts, Illustration, Photography), students must have approximately 24 studio art credits plus 12 credits of Critical Studies. To be accepted for departmental transfer as a junior, a student must have completed approximately 48 studio credits plus 18 Critical Studies credits. To be accepted for transfer into the BBA program as a sophomore, a student will need to have completed at least 36 credits within the required course distribution. Junior transfers will need to have completed approximately 67 university credits. Due
Admissions
to the unique nature of the Design Management program, transfer students will likely take courses in the freshman and sophomore levels during their first year at PCA in order to complete the degree requirements.
• Critical Studies Credit PCA awards Critical Studies credits including Art History, Languages, Humanities, and Social Sciences that correspond to the Critical Studies requirements.
TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY
• Notification of Credit The Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) is initially completed during the admissions review process and finalized once the applicant has submitted all final transcripts to PCA. Accepted applicants receive notification of transfer credit prior to Registration.
Students have until the beginning of their second semester to submit outstanding official transcripts to the Registrar for evaluation for transfer credit. No transcripts submitted after this time will be considered. All transcripts submitted must be official (see below). Transcripts from schools that were not indicated on the application for admission will not be considered. A grade of “C” or better must be earned to receive transfer credit. Granting of transfer credit is contingent upon an applicant’s capacity to maintain the same satisfactory performance level by which the student was admitted. During the first semester of attendance, students should direct their questions about transfer credit to the Registrar. Applicants who would like to transfer academic credits from non-English language institutions are required to have their transcripts evaluated by World Education Services (WES). A course-bycourse evaluation report must be prepared for each transcript. Please start the evaluation process as early as possible, including the submission of all required documents to WES, in order to ensure the timely completion of the evaluation report. To contact WES, visit www.wes.org and instruct WES to send the evaluation to the Admissions Office. • Studio/Departmental Credit Transfer credit for studio/departmental requirements and electives will be granted for courses where the content is similar to the curriculum at PCA . Students must present official transcripts and portfolio materials demonstrating proficiency in the subject areas for which the credit is sought in the admissions application.
No transfer credit will be granted for “life experience.”
OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS ALL TRANSCRIPT DOCUMENTS MUST BE:
• Written in English or have an official translation in English • Printed on secure transcript paper or on the letterhead of the school (not a copy) • Stamped with the school seal or other official marking • Notarized, signed or sent electronically by a school official (registrar, dean, counselor, etc.). OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS MUST CONTAIN:
• Name and address of the school • Student’s name (must appear on every page of the transcript) • Dates of attendance • Degree awarded, if any, and the date of degree conferred • Names of individual courses completed • Number of contact hours per week for each course • Length of the term • Grade or evaluation received for each course • Grading

TUITION & SCHOLARSHIP
PCA SCHOLARSHIP, LOANS & ON-CAMPUS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Estimated Academic Year Expenses in Euros
The PCA Scholarship Committee grants financial assistance awards on the basis of three criteria: financial need, merit, and commitment to the school. A limited number of partial scholarships, which defray a portion of tuition, are available.* In addition, PCA Degree and Certificate students are eligible for PCA loans, which are made for the period of education at PCA and will not be due for payment until the student has completed the PCA Degree or Certificate as long as the student maintains full-time enrollment. There will be no interest levied on this loan. In addition, Degree and Certificate students may be chosen to participate in the on-campus internship program. Interns are assigned positions within the school for which they receive an honorarium. All financial assistance awards are valid for one academic year. To retain scholarships, students must remain in good academic standing (a semester GPA of at least 2.5 with a full-time load of at least 12 credits, including all degree requirements). They must also reapply and show continued need each year. Awards may be reduced or discontinued if a student’s financial circumstances, or academic performance or behavior are deemed to no longer warrant tuition assistance. Recent scholarship sponsors include Biotherm, Bibliothèque Kandinsky and the Annenberg Foundation.
