Licence Arts plastiques

The teaching in the 3 years of the Bachelor of Fine Arts is designed to provide specific knowledge in the fields of visual arts practice and art sciences. The courses are wide-ranging and diversified (video, drawing, sculpture, performance, digital creation, etc.), and are taught in workshops and in small groups;emphasis is placed on the acquisition of different techniques, some of which go back a long way (« fabrique de l'image »), as well as on the development of personal artistic practices. Courses in art history, aesthetics and art analysis round out the programme, giving students the tools they need to understand the forms and forms of art and to develop their own personal artistic practices;cessaires pour comprendre les formes et les enjeux esthétiques, politiques et épistémologiques de la création artistique, et leurs modifications au cours de l'histoire de l'art et de la pensée.

The range of courses offered by the Visual Arts and Art Sciences sector is part of the L.M.D. (Licence, Master, Doctorat) framework. The Bachelor's degree is taken over 3 years, i.e. 6 semesters made up of blocks of transversal and general or interactive skills (B.C.C.) and teaching units (U.E.). Each semester obtained is worth 30 European credits

In the first and second years (L1-L2) of the bachelor's degree, teaching is general and multidisciplinary. In addition to the courses taught in the discipline in which the student is enrolled (choice of plastic arts), the first two semesters offer the opportunity to explore new practices (video, sound creation, installation, etc.). This multi-disciplinary approach enables students to confirm their commitment to the main direction they have chosen, and to facilitate, if they so wish, their reorientation at the end of the first semester or in Licence 2. In Licence 2, the emphasis is on personal practice, in addition to technical workshops and thematic courses in art history, analysis or art aesthetics. A specialism is offered in year 3:

    Axis 1: photography - practice and theory of the image.

   Axis 2: digital creation - practice and theory.

    Area 3: visual arts – practice and theory.

   Focus 4: teaching methods – practice and theory.

This course is the only university course of its kind in the PACA region, guaranteeing both the mastery of diverse and contemporary artistic practices (drawing, painting, photography, video, installations, computer graphics, etc.), the acquisition of the fundamentals of aesthetics, the history of modern and contemporary art, knowledge of the art world and the skills needed to analyse, present and exhibit works.

This Bachelor's degree course is supervised by a teaching team made up of visual artists and art theorists (historians, philosophers, aestheticians, sociologists), digital professionals (computer graphics, web-design, etc.), educationalists, art historians and art historians.), educationalists, scenographers, event organisers, exhibition curators, etc.

Since 2011, methodological teaching (MTU) has been integrated into the two semesters of the first year, in order to encourage student integration and empowerment in both practical and theoretical areas. Digital tools are taught in the second year. Modern languages are compulsory throughout the course

Artistic practice and thematic courses in the first two years enable students to acquire a method and autonomy that will be exploited in the third year during the UE « Pratique des arts;this will be exploited in the third year during the « UE Personal artistic practice and research ». Each student is then encouraged to produce and present his or her artworks not only in class, but also at a group exhibition held in one of Aix-en-Provence's art centres. In addition, the thematic courses, with their emphasis on evaluation in the form of dossiers, enable students to develop skills in bibliographical and artistic research, analysis and reaction, problematisation and discursive coherence.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree provides students with a foundation of knowledge and know-how that will enable them to move either towards professional careers (teaching, artistic and cultural careers, creation and management of digital images) or towards research (master's degree, doctorate).

The teaching offered during the Bachelor of Fine Arts offers a plurality and transversality of approaches and content allowing, where appropriate, the student to be redirected towards other training courses – particularly towards other artistic sectors, which make up the ARTS department of Aix-Marseille Université (Cinéma et audiovisuel, Théâtre, Médiation culturelle, Musique et Sciences de la musique).

During their three years of training, students must acquire practical, theoretical and academic skills concerning:

Projects, supervised by teachers, are carried out at the end of the degree. These involve a collective exhibition of the studentsét productions in an art institution. These projects therefore enable students to work in conditions similar to those in a company, with support from the course teachers.

For non-compulsory internships, the internship agreement is drawn up with the support of the UFR administration via the IPRO platform http://ipro.univ-amu.fr This platform enables students to access and apply for internship and job offers, track their applications, request internship authorisation from their academic supervisor and draw up their internship agreement.

Students have two regular teachers, the Director of Studies and the head of their course or year of study. Students benefit from regular, individualised supervision, supported by courses on the methodology of university work adapted to their discipline. They may also take part in free practice workshops under the guidance of tutors who are masters or doctoral students, for two or three afternoons a week.

The course is designed to enable students to develop their knowledge and skills in a variety of areas

The welcome days provide an opportunity to find out about the department, the University's services, optional courses, visit the University Library and find out about the Service Commun de Documentation (SCD). The Practice course, which is compulsory for L1 students, covers the ENT digital work environment, the AMETICE educational platform and institutional email (http://cipe.univ-amu.fr)

For students entering the course after authorisation from the Pédagogic Commission, a refresher course may be offered (in certain cases, substitution of a French language UE for a foreign language UE, for example).

Progressive entry into Licence 1 or Licence 2 according to a procedure proposed by the Directorates of Studies and the Teaching Commission. Multidisciplinarity in Licences 1 and 2 and options for further study in Licences 3 encourage progressive orientation (credits and most grades are retained).

From the second semester of the second year onwards, students follow a course on the "Worlds of Art and Artistic Professions". This is a compulsory course that runs for two semesters in the third year (3 x 3 weeks). Taught by professionals (curators), artists and academics, this course aims to introduce the institutions, the contemporary art scene in France and the international art market and its players;the course is supplemented during the two semesters of the third year by career planning and guidance workshops, during which legal, ethical, administrative and ethical issues are addressed on the basis of case studies. The aim is therefore also to provide students with preparation for integration into the art world: knowledge of the socio-professional environment specific to the course, an introduction to the tools for integration and the search for internships.

For students intending to teach the visual arts in secondary schools, a course of study in the visual arts and teaching is offered during two semesters of the 3rd year of the degree. Taught by an academic inspector (inspecteur académique-IPR), this course is divided into a theory course, devoted to the educational and recruitment policies of the national education system, and a workshop for the study of practical cases and professional coverage in schools. 

In Licence 3 (and in Master 1 and 2), the Visual Arts and Art Sciences sector offers various study abroad programmes (ERASMUS +) lasting one or two semesters. These study periods are part of bilateral agreements with the following institutions:
