about

The école supérieure d’art des Pyrénées — Pau Tarbes proposes professionalizing training programmes recognized in the european network of higher education.
The art-ceramics training ensures entry into domains connected to the field of culture, to trades relating to the ceramics industry, to the world of art and design. The multimedia graphic design curriculum opens the way to working in the domain of the image – publishing, art, press, multimedia, advertising, institutional communication, internet, video games, motion design, typography, urban development, signage… Creation and innovation are the key words of these curriculums that open out onto a wide range of professions, certain still remaining to be invented and the possible overlapping of different disciplinary fields is seen as a source of wealth.
The school has put in place the tools that allow students to cultivate a critical distance in the context of their future trade and to envisage new approaches to the theoretical, esthetic and cultural issues of their discipline. The idea is, while participating fully in the field of research in art and design, to establish and reinforce the connections with other sectors of research in the sciences in general.

research units

L’Observatoire

The reinforcing and structuring of a research unit ensures long term research activity in the Pyrénées ESA. The five research programmes supported by the Observatoire research unit are based, firstly, on artistic creation, ceramics, graphic design and multimedia and secondly, on the exploration of other fields of knowledge, from the humanities to the sciences. Its programmes favor the emergence and consolidation of the personal project of future graduate artists and designers of the Pyrénées ÉSA. They aim to create a research environment associating teaching, production and distribution. With this goal in mind they maintain a close dialogue with other research centers that, in the territory or on a national and international level are interested by the themes being considered. An operational, observational laboratory, this unit encourages the confrontation of different approaches to creation, in the perspective of developing an intelligibility from the sensitive and in the sensitive.
