PARSONS PARIS SCHOOL OF ART+DESIGN
CATALOGUE
Parsons Paris School of Art + Design, known in France as Ecole
Parsons Paris, promotes the artistic and intellectual maturation
of promising students into exceptional professional artists,
designers and design managers through a rigorous art, design
and liberal arts education.
Parsons Paris emphasizes the ethical role of creative disciplines,
viewing art and design practice as meaningful and necessary
contributions to society.
Contemporary methods of visual production are taught on
the foundation of traditional skills in the fine arts. The school
aims to be a supportive, creative community of committed

PARSONS PARIS SCHOOL OF ART + DESIGN
Parsons Paris is a dynamic forum for exchanging ideas, methods and
professional experience. Our students and faculty combine curiosity,
experimentation and enthusiasm in the pursuit of learning.
At Parsons Paris, we believe that finding a design solution, creating
a work of art and facilitating the production of a creative team are
intellectual processes of undeniable value. Developing critical
awareness through hands-on research and discussion is essential
to professional maturation and individual growth. Artistic practice
demands a high level of personal commitment and discipline, and
we expect our students to participate actively in class so that we can
explore differing points of view and engage our creative resources.
Parsons Paris is rooted in a city of primary art and design production.
Experiencing the uniqueness of the Parisian metropolis provides
a rich source of visual inspiration. Sharing this experience with
individuals from over 40 different countries gives our students a
unique perspective on the variety of expression existing through-
out the world.

The legacy of Parsons Paris and its successful graduates is something
to be proud of and to contribute to in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Serge Guarino

Parsons Paris School of Art + Design
was established in 1921 to provide the
highest standard of American edu-
cation to undergraduates in fine arts
and design wishing to pursue degree
options in Europe. With the resources
of its location in one of the worlds
most resplendent cities, Parsons Pa-
ris emphasizes an interdisciplinary
approach to academic programs
coordinated with Parsons The New
School for Design in New York City.
Parsons Paris draws students from
around the world. The spontaneous
cultural diversity this engenders
complements the program and fos-
ters a critical sensitivity toward the
globalization of visual culture and its
impact on respective art and design
fields. Parsons Paris multicultural
environment nurtures artistic prac-
tice as well as individual growth. The
intimate size of our classes provides
for a unique contact between ins-
tructors and students.
PARSONS PARIS
Students are encouraged to develop
personal expression through creative
problem-solving and process-orien-
ted research. Parsons Paris metho-
dology gives students a competitive
advantage, both academically and
professionally, while emphasizing
ethical interaction with society as a
whole. Through its international fa-
culty of working professionals, the
school maintains close ties with the
Parisian art and design culture.
Special events, exhibitions and
conferences bring students in inti-
mate contact with their distinctive
European setting. Parsons Paris ful-
fills its mission on behalf of students
- whether in Communication De-
sign, Design Management, Fashion
Design, Fine Arts, Illustration or Pho-
tography - by offering a unique and
challenging learning opportunity.
Parsons Paris School of Art + Design,
accredited by the National Asso-
ciation of Schools of Art and Design
(NASAD), is legally structured as a
non-profit institution in France. The
formal title for the organization is
Association Franco-Amricaine de
Design (AFAD). AFAD also uses the
name Ecole Parsons Paris. The legal
structure of the school is that of an
independent organisation. Under an
arrangement with Parsons The New
School for Design, since September
2008, students matriculating in the
Parsons Paris program have been

In 1921, Parsons launched an art and
design school in Paris, situated at the
Place des Vosges with 22 students. By
1927, 17 nationalities were represen-
ted among the 217 students, inclu-
ding Austrians, Swedes, Swiss, Rus-
sians and Australians. It was the first
American art institution abroad to
provide a formal full-time program in
the visual arts. The school was closed
during World War II then reopened
first with a summer abroad program
in the late 1970s and then in 1981, as
Ecole Parsons Paris, at its present
location near the Eiffel Tower, with
full-time BFA programs.
Parsons The New School for Design,
founded in 1896 by American painter
William Merritt Chase, is one of the
oldest colleges of art and design in
the United States and a pioneer in
the field of education. Under the sub-
sequent leadership of Frank Alvah
Parsons, the school expanded into
Europe.

More than forty countries are repre-
sented in the Parsons Paris student
population, bringing to this small
community a cultural diversity that
is rare among art education institu-
tions. This, combined with a location
at the crossroads of Europe, makes
studying at Parsons Paris a uniquely
rich experience for young artists and
designers. An elected student go-
vernment brings issues before the
school administration, and organizes
social events that unite this close-knit
community. 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. During the term, excursions
are organized to the nearby sites of
Giverny or Versailles, and beyond the
borders of France to cities such as
Berlin, Geneva, London, Florence or
Venice.

STUDENT LIFE
STUDENT LIFE OFFICE
The Student Life Office helps stu-
dents navigate the many aspects of
life as temporary residents of Paris
and lends a hand as they discover
their new environment. The orienta-
tion program provides a weeklong
introduction to the French capital as
well as an opportunity to meet fel-
low classmates and the faculty and
staff who form the school commu-
nity. Student Life staff help students
obtain residence permits (cartes de
sjour) and advise on such practical
matters as banking, telephone and
transportation systems, insurance
and medical referrals. Student Life
provides organizational support for
the student government, on-campus
internship program, as well as social,
cultural and special events. Counse-
ling on any personal concerns that
arise during the school term is availa-
ble on a confidential basis.
CAMPUS LIFE
While the larger campus is certainly
Paris, with its museums and historical
sites, the facilities of Parsons Paris are
ideally suited for the creative endea-
vors proposed in the classroom. Sky
lit studios used for drawing, painting
and sculpture surround a central
courtyard. The photography studio,
printmaking room, fashion atelier,
and computer lab enable students to
explore the limits of their creativity.
An inhouse gallery features exhibits
by both professional artists and Par-
sons Paris students alike. Small clas-
ses, along with individual attention
from faculty, provide an optimum
environment for developing the dis-
cipline and skills required for the stu-
dents artistic pursuit. While classes
are taught in English, we encourage
students to study French so that they
can take full advantage of their time
in Paris.

tre de Cration Industrielle

The collections of this specialized, in-
ternational, heritage-oriented library
affiliated with the Centre Pompidou
are intended for research and exhibi-
tion purposes. They are exclusively
devoted to 20th and 21st century
works of art, design, architecture,
photography, film, video and new
media. The available resources also
comprise related documents per-
taining to art criticism and theory,
aesthetics and museum studies. In
addition, the library has a significant
collection of contemporary artists
books, to which Parsons Paris contri-
butes through an annual donation
dedicated to acquisition. Originally
reserved for museum curators, the li-
brary exceptionally allows associated

Internship Scholarship at the Centre
National dArt et de Culture Georges
Pompidou
Parsons Paris and the Bibliothque
Kandinsky have created a joint frame-
work that enables select students
whose work displays academic merit
to benefit from the unique opportu-
nity to obtain an internship/scho-
larship at the Bibliothque Kandinsky
during the course of their studies.
Candidates must be proficient in the
French language.
The Centre National dArt et de
Culture Georges Pompidou was the
initiative of President Georges Pom-
pidou (1911-1974), who wanted to
create an original cultural institution
in the heart of Paris completely fo-
cused on modern and contemporary
creation, where the visual arts would
rub shoulders with theater, music,
cinema, literature and the spoken
word. Housed in a building designed
by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers,
whose architecture symbolizes the
spirit of the 20th century, the Centre
Pompidou first opened its doors to
the public in 1977. It is one of the most
visited attractions in France. Some
6 million people pass through the
Centre Pompidous doors each year.
In a unique location under one roof,
the Centre Pompidou houses one of
the most important museums in the
world, featuring the leading collec-
tion of modern and contemporary
art in Europe, a vast public reference
library with facilities for over 2,000
readers, general documentation on
20th century art, a cinema and per-
formance halls, a music research
institute, educational activity areas,
and bookshop. Unwavering in its in-
terdisciplinary vocation and its core
mission, to spread knowledge about
all creative works from the 20th cen-
tury and the new millennium, each
year the Centre Pompidou holds
thirty or so public exhibitions plus
international events. Exhibitions
include cinema and documentary
screenings, conferences and sympo-
siums, concerts, dance and educatio-
nal activities - many of which go on to
other venues in France and abroad.

ECOLE LESAGE
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 Albert Michonet. In 1924, Albert
and Marie-Louise Lesage, a former
colleague of Madeleine Vionnet, bou-
ght Albert Michonets atelier. Thus
began a close collaboration between
the Maison Lesage and the great
fashion designers of the day inclu-
ding: Paquin, Poiret, Redfern, Made-
leine Vionnet, and Elsa Schiaparelli.
In 1949, at the age of 20, Francois Lesa-
ge took over the family business and
for fifty years, mastered the blending
of exemplary workmanship with the
innovative needs of an emerging ge-
neration of couturiers: Dior, Givenchy,
Yves Saint Laurent, Scherrer, Lacroix
and Gaultier.
In 2002, Francois Lesage joined the
Chanel galaxy, but has remained the
preferred supplier of embroideries to
all the fashion greats: for Karl Lager-
feld, he is an indispensable and irre-
placeable partner.
The Maison Lesage is endowed with
an inventory of over 60 tons of sup-
plies among which are iridescent
crystal, jet from the 1870s, cabochons,
rhinestones, and glass beads from
the roaring twenties.
Guardian of the disappearing sa-
voir-faire of the craft of embroidery,
Francois Lesage established a school
to pass on this great tradition. Since
its inception in 1992, the Ecole Le-
sage, located on the ground floor of
the Maison Lesage on the rue de la
Grange Batelire, has unveiled its
embroidery secrets and specialized
knowledge to students from around
the world.
In 2009, Parsons Paris School of Art
+ Design and the Ecole Lesage have
partnered to provide our students
with an opportunity to learn this
great craft and be a part of preserving
this technical and artistic heritage.

Biography
THE KNOWLEDGE NETWORK
In 2008, Parsons Paris launched the
Knowledge Network, a research cen-
tre dedicated to the dissemination
and promotion of research in the
fields of art and design. Under the
direction of Dr. Brigitte Borja de Mo-
zota, the Knowledge Network opera-
tes a Design Observatory to evaluate
the state of design research, a project
which recently included collabora-
ting with the French Ministry of In-
dustry on a study of continuing edu-
cation opportunities for designers. In
2009, The Knowledge Network will
also begin publishing a new research
journal entitled Collection, encou-
raging the exchange of expertise
between researchers and professio-
nals through both articles and visual
contributions. The first issue focuses
on the intersection of sociology with
art and design (Guest editor, profes-
sor Michel Maffesoli, guest designer
Olivier Peyricot).
The Knowledge Network at Parsons
Paris is actively engaged in events
and conferences, and recently co-
hosted the 6
th
edition of Les Ateliers
de la Recherche en Design with Uni-
versit Paris I as part of Designers
Days 2009. Research tracks for the
2009-2010 year include a conference
on Foundation Education and an in-
vestigation on the subject of creative
cities coinciding with the World De-
sign Capital award.
COURS DE CIVILISATION FRANCAISE
DE LA SORBONNE
In 1919, with the intention of deve-
loping awareness of French culture,
the Sorbonne established the Cours
de Civilisation Franaise de la Sorbon-
ne (CCFS) to introduce foreign stu-
dents to the main aspects of French
civilization - from its origins to the
present day with an emphasis on
contemporary France and its langua-
ge. The headquarters are situated in
the Sorbonne and courses are taught
in the immediate vicinity.
Parsons Paris School of Art
+ Design and the Sorbonne
Parsons Paris has partnered with the
Sorbonne to offer a unique program
that is ideal for the Study Abroad
student majoring in Art, Design, Art
History, French, or Liberal Arts. The
program combines intensive French
courses at the Sorbonne with Art,
Design, Art History, Liberal Arts or
Design Management courses at Par-
sons Paris.
Parsons Paris degree students' sche-
dules are too full during the academic
year to permit them to participate in
this program. Should they wish they
can enroll during the summer term.
Language, Art and Design in Paris
Visiting Students may study French
twelve hours per week at the Sorbon-
ne and take between 3-4 classes at
Parsons Paris per semester. The clas-
ses offered at the Cours de Civilisation
Franaise de la Sorbonne range from
introductory to advanced French
classes (dbutant, lmentaire, in-
termdiaire, avanc, suprieur). Stu-
dents take a French placement exam
that will determine the students
level. Written and spoken French will
be studied, as well as a course spe-
cifically on phonetics. Additionally,
students, with the help of their home
campus advisor, select up to 10 cre-
dits from the rich and varied course
offerings at Parsons Paris to create a
personalized and directed course of
study. Students have access to the Bi-
bliothque du Foyer International des
Etudiantes, which is dedicated to the
needs of international students.
Upon completion from this program
students receive a certificate from
the Cours de Civilisation Franaise
de la Sorbonne and may participate
in the graduation ceremony held at
the Sorbonne. Additionally, Parsons
Paris validates the work done at the
Sorbonne by issuing a transcript that

In addition to studying with peers
from all over the world, students en-
rolled in the full-time BFA and BBA
programs at Parsons Paris have the
possibility to study abroad during
their junior year at one of the schools
in our Exchange Network. In order
to participate, students must be in
good academic standing and apply
during the spring semester of their
sophomore year. Students are not
permitted to spend their fourth and
final year on exchange. Due to the
Parsons Paris residency requirement,
students who have transferred to
Parsons Paris at the junior level may
not participate in this program.

CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS
Through industry partnerships Par-
sons Paris students gain real world
experience and develop professional
contacts. For the second consecu-
tive year, BIOTHERM, a luxury brand
of the LOral Group and a pioneer
and leader in international skincare,
is supporting creativity and young
talent through a partnership with
Parsons Paris. Biotherm offers stu-
dents the opportunity to develop
their talents working on projects for
a major company and participating
students compete for scholarships in
juried events.
>
The first competition in 2008, when
it becomes Milk, investigated the
history, feeling and mythology of the
Biotherm Milk ritual and coincided
with the product 's 35th anniversary
celebration. Winners and finalists ap-
peared in a brochure included in the
event's press package sent to 5000
agencies in 70 countries and transla-
ted into 40 languages.
>
In the second competition in Spring
2009, Biotherm called on the imagi-
nation of Parsons Paris students to
pay homage to the iconic packaging
shape of its latest reversive aging in-
novation SKIN VIVO. A jury comprised
of international press selected the
winning projects at the official Skin
Vivo launch event that took place in
June 2009 at Pershing Hall in Paris.
CAREER SERVICES
Students begin preparing for their ca-
reers the day they select a professio-
nal college of art and design. At Par-
sons Paris, the process is promoted
and enhanced by the Career Services
Office that provides regular works-
hops on resume writing, portfolio
presentation, job search techniques
and interviewing skills.
At Parsons Paris internships are an
integral part of our arts, design and
design management education and
through which junior and senior stu-
dents further their creative capabili-
ties and are introduced to the profes-
sional aspects of their chosen areas
of study. The Career Services office
along with involved faculty in each
department develop relationships
in the industry and create internship
and job opportunities for students.
Annual career events, at which gra-
duating seniors meet industry profes-
sionals, provide an ideal environment
to establish important networking
relationships.

Foundation is an intensive, firstyear
program for BFA candidates. The
transdisciplinary curriculum empha-
sizes drawing, process and creative
problemsolving as fundamental to
all artistic fields; while selective pro-
jects, sitevisits, guest lecturers and
critics help define the differences
between art and design specializa-
tions. Students have the flexibility
to choose a specific art concentra-
tion after a formal exploration of the
many options available in art and
design. Integrated courses in critical
studies provide the means to build
critical awareness, knowledge of art
history and communication skills.
Foundation offers a uniquely chal-
lenging educational environment in
which experience of the local culture
is an integral part of the learning pro-
cess. Students develop visual think-
ing, practical skills and the individual
discipline required for future study in
the visual arts.

Inspiration comes from my background, nature, friends, jokes. My process
is getting supplies I think I need in order to make something I havent deci-
ded exactly what it will be. Then making a lot of mistakes - Id rather build
on mistakes than erase them.
Where do you find inspiration and how does this affect your process?
>
I take a break, open the window and eat something, preferably foie gras.
It also helps having a few projects going on at the same time so you can
alternate and get a fresh view on things.
How do you keep motivated when things get tough?
>
Don't worry if you don't know exactly what you want to do - Foundation
gives you plenty of opportunity to try out different things that will help you
to decide. Don't procrastinate too much!
What advice would you give to a student just starting out?
>
I love the bakeries, museums, public gardens, private gardens, architecture,
the metro system, outdoor markets etc.
What do you love most about Paris?
>
I Just finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist and am now reading Immortality.
What books do you have on your bedside table?
>
Strong colors, tape, anything soft, the smell of good food
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
>
Anything pointless or badly designed. Chaos and dirt.
What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
>
Icelandic people have a rather dark sense of humor, procrastinate and
believe that everything will work out in the end. I am a typical Icelander.
How has your background affected your approach to your work?

Communication designers give form
to information in advertising, pu-
blishing and editorial design, corpo-
rate 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 per-
suade remains a critical concern.
Located in an internationally re-
nowned mecca for artists and de-
signers, Parsons Paris offers Com-
munication 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 citys vibrant com-
munity of design professionals is a
rich resource for students as they
discover their own visual language.
The comprehensive curriculum at
Parsons Paris 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 institu-
tions like the Pompidou Center, the
Muse des Arts Dcoratifs, 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.

It would have to be my thesis project on the Paleo Festival as I was completely
free to do whatever I wanted.
I interned at Ogilvy in Paris. I learned a lot about the advertising industry
but mostly how employees in companies work together as a team.
Do what you enjoy the most. It makes work that much easier and enjoyable.
I try to find inspiration anywhere in my day-to-day life. But most of my best
inspiration comes when Im not even thinking about it.
Out of all the projects you have done at Parsons Paris, which is your favorite?

Have you done an internship/stage?

>
Where do you find inspiration?
>
As a child, I wanted to be racecar driver. I always knew I loved art and design
but I decided to follow a career in design in high school.
I work best when Im working amongst other creative people, as we can help each
other by throwing around ideas. I like collaborating with other students when
I make multiple page layouts such as magazine spreads. To keep motivated
when things get tough I get together with friends and work collectively.
Im quite influenced by the Bauhaus movement.
Paris felt like home almost immediately. I feel more at home here than in any
other city. In Paris, theres always a rich culture to expose myself to at any time
whether it's art, design or music. Im never bored in this city. Ive become a more
confident and independent person here.
What did you want to be when you were a child and when did you
first realize you wanted to be a designer?

Where/when do you do your best work?

What do you love about Paris?

The Design Management Depart-
ment introduces students to a
unique combination of design and
management courses. Its goal is to
provide students with a thorough
understanding of the complexity
involved in the management of de-
sign, its practice and the social role
it plays in everyday life. Students are
introduced to designs multifaceted
nature by exploring how they can
manage design and create new va-
lue for business and society at large.
They are introduced to the basics of
design thinking through a hands-
on approach that requires them to
engage in the production of design.
They consider how design impacts
business through seminars dedica-
ted to management in all its aspects.
Students learn to contextualise the
role design plays in society through
courses that introduce them to the
history and sociology of design. Upon
completion of the program, students
will have acquired a fundamental
knowledge of design and manage-
ment, allowing them to identify and
manage design that is functional, er-
gonomic, aesthetic and sustainable.

I am a 360 inspired person, I always keep my eyes and ears open. I find
inspiration in music, in the environment and I love to read. Im reading
two, no, three books at the moment: Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope,
Obama is an excellent writer, well versed. Im also reading Tipping Point by
Malcolm Gladwell, a must read for designers. The third is the Tibetan Book
of the Dead, revised by the Dalai Lama, its a great spiritual read.

Always have an open heart and open mind, accept things the way they are,
use your five senses. You have so much to learn from your peers, your friends,
and your teachers, even if you sometimes disagree with them.
Where do you find inspiration?
>
>
I was born and raised in Manila, in the Philippines. My father is German
and my mother is Philippine. I was fortunate enough to be able to travel
throughout Europe, Asia, and the US. Coming from Asia, I fall under a wide
scope of influences, but I keep myself open when it comes to design, even if my
main influences are Asian and Oriental.
Europe will be my short-term plan. Its hard to plan that far, as I have to take
my partners wishes into account. She is studying fashion, and I want to do
whats best for both our careers. In the long run, I would like to spend a lot of
time in Asia (you know that the markets there are developing, and who knows
what it will be like in 10 to 15 years?). I would like to work in the Asian luxury
brand industry: from food to lifestyle products.
Where are your from, and how has your background affected your
approach to your work.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

The art and business of fashion give
form and function to clothing, a basic
human need, imbuing it with mea-
ning in the ever-evolving language
of style. The core of Parsons Paris
curriculum is the designer critic pro-
gram 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 fi-
nished garments. Students acquire
an understanding of tools, materials,
construction techniques and textile
design methods, enabling them to
express their individual creative vi-
sions. Intensive concept and design
courses, weekly critiques, workshops
with industry professionals and the
study of Parisian prt--porter help
students to develop originality and
acquire an understanding of their
craft. Beyond the school atelier, ex-
posure to textile trade fairs, designer
shows and museum exhibitions all
foster a keen understanding of the
European marketplace.
Visiting critics help familiarize stu-
dents with the design requirements
and specificities of various markets,
while company-driven projects ex-
pose students to the real world chal-
lenges 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 se-
mester, all of which is presented in
an annual fashion show attended by
fashion professionals and the inter-
national press.

Yes, Im currently working for the company Delphine Murat. I have learned
that I have to be very organized and need to know everything. Without
knowledge of design and the business side you cant bring efficiency to the
company. You have to make yourself useful and indispensable when you
work with anyone.
I force myself to adapt as quickly as possible and be good at it.
I like to look back into history from different cultures. I look primarily at
other cultural influences first and see how it changes the fashion at that
time. I was born in Hong Kong and raised in Canada. I have incorporated my
Asian background and modernity into my graduation collection. I believe
that mixing the two different cultures can strengthen and create new
invention not only in fashion but in all different fields as well.

When I was a child I wanted to be a doctor or lawyer until I reached 11 years old,
then I decided to become a fashion designer.
I work best when I am under stress. It forces me to create something interesting
and of good quality.
Yes, Ive become more independent and mature.
Take it easy to get the work done and be your best at all times.

With Paris as its extraordinarily rich
cultural setting, the Fine Arts Depart-
ment promotes the acquisition and
development of artistic skills, the
expression of creative processes, and
an informed awareness of how art
practice intersects with current vi-
sual, cultural and societal concerns.
Fine Arts provides students with a
strong foundation in the artistic tra-
dition via both established and new
media, thus enriching their capacity
for communication and expression
as a whole.
The core of the program is tau-
ght through the disciplines of pain-
ting, drawing and sculpture, but stu-
dents may also select from classes
such as printmaking, photography,
installation and digital imaging.
Interdisciplinary practice provokes
students to pursue and develop indi-
vidual artistic modes of inquiry. Cour-
ses in Art History and Critical Studies,
critiques, debate and tutorials, and
the considerable resources available
in Paris, direct students to an infor-
med exploration within both histo-
rical and contemporary art practice.
Application of theory and criticism
shapes the students' ability to work
and think critically and analytically.
Museum and gallery visits are an in-
tegral aspect of the curriculum. The
Fine Arts faculty, comprising profes-
sional exhibiting artists, is comple-
mented by guest lectures from visi-
ting international artists and critics.

The thing I love about Paris and all of Europe is how medieval it feels.
America is a relatively young land. The thing I will miss most is biking along
the Seine passing all the monuments. Paris has made me more independent,
more aggressive, more adventurous, more social.
My advice to a new student is to be open-minded, and receptive. The more
you listen and the more you read, the more you know.
>
>
Inspiration comes from everywhere: nature, inane conversations with friends,
books, comicsI especially love movies. Things are always tough, to stay
motivated you have to keep pushing forward. Most of the time you ruin a
dozen drawings, but every accident leads you in a new direction.
I do my best to collaborate since we are all artists. It does not matter if you
are an illustrator, fashion designer, or painter, we are all creative people so we
should all be communicating, brainstorming, and thieving ideas.
Art is important because it allows one to look at the world from a different
perspective. Images are more universal than words. I watched Pans Labyrinth
for the first time in Spanish with French subtitles (neither language I speak
particularly), and the film made perfect coherent sense because of the power of
the images and the sequential narrative.
Where do you find inspiration and how do you keep motivated when
things get tough?
>
Do you collaborate with students from other majors within Parsons Paris?

Why is art important?

Illustration has developed in tandem
with the great movements of art
history, from manuscript illumina-
tion and poster art to comic strips
and graphic novels, and played a
dynamic role in visual communica-
tion and provocation, both in France
and beyond. The vibrant tapestry of
Parisian culture, both historical and
contemporary, has continually pro-
vided a rich source of inspiration for
illustrators, as have the many artists
such as Daumier, Toulouse-Lautrec,
Dor, Chret, Topor and Semp, who-
se illustrative works have been absor-
bed into the iconography of Paris.
Students in the Illustration depart-
ment learn to solve conceptual pro-
blems with the city as their living
textbook. The collections of the Mu-
se des Arts Dcoratifs, the Muse
de la Publicit, the Forum des Ima-
ges, and the Centre Pompidou are
invaluable as educational resources.
Drawing on the wealth of the Pari-
sian cinematic tradition, students
also take the drawn image into space
and time through projects in 2D and
3D animation. Working directly with
European professionals, Illustration
students at Parsons Paris learn the
tools to compete effectively in the
creative fields of design and commu-
nication.

Throughout a project things may go differently than the way the project
was initially planed. Preparing myself for obstacles and difficulties that may
occur helps me to keep my motivation at the highest level possible and able
to cope with stress when time schedules are at stake.
I always seek to first understand what message I wish to express, followed
by a rigorous refinement in which I attempt to get that message across with
the most elegant and simple image I can develop. It simply means that every
element within the illustration should help tell a very specific story. My main
source of inspiration comes from the world around me and Paris has inspired
me a lot, the flea markets, the circus, the buildings, the galleries, the museums.
>
Where do you find inspiration and how does this affect your process?
>
Since I was a child, a big influence was childrens books illustrations. At that
young age, the fascinating world depicted by the pictures would make up for
my inability yet to decode the message hidden behind the words; so the detailed
pictures held all the messages and I in turn held the key to unlock them.
I love the mass transportation system, it can take you anywhere and it makes
me feel independent and flexible. I love spending time playing ping - pong in
the park. I enjoy venturing into the oldest neighborhoods to discover small
shops that deal with old-fashioned materials and conventional typography.
Im still discovering Paris; the only thing that brings some complexity to my
life here is the language. Paris has been inspiring to me. If I leave, I will miss
everything that builds this beautiful Parisian atmosphere like the cafes, the
brasseries, the metro, the flea markets, the galleries, the museums and the
croissants for breakfast.
When did you first realize you wanted to be an artist?

Since the birth of photography in
Paris in 1839, the French capital has
played a pivotal role in nurturing
this vibrant modern art form; today
it continues to be a vital player not
only on the European, but also on the
global photographic stage. Drawing
from this highly stimulating, crea-
tive environment, the Photography
program offers a rigorous technical
and conceptual training that balan-
ces analog and digital technologies,
a solid critical understanding of the
image-making process and the deve-
lopment of professional skills.
Students are encouraged to think
broadly about photography through
coursework in the numerous areas
of photographic practice: fine arts,
fashion, photojournalism, documen-
tary, design and advertising, etc.

Through seminars, lectures, lab and
studio courses as well as internship
opportunities, students gain first-
hand experience from practicing
photographers and develop inno-
vative approaches to photography,
while learning to express their own
personal vision. Studio work is enri-
ched through museum visits - the Jeu
de Paume, Maison Europenne de la
Photographie, Centre Pompidou,
Fondation Cartier-Bresson, Biblio-
thque National de France, etc.- and
evaluated through individual and
group critiques, under the direction
of international professionals.

Equipped with the latest technical
skills and a critical understanding of
how photography functions in to-
days ever-changing world of art and
design, students graduate from Par-
sons Paris fully prepared to success-
fully enter the contemporary pho-
tographic industry as highly skilled
image makers.

Irving Penn (for his still lifes), Sarah Moon (the mood she conveys in her
pictures), Richard Avedon (directly influenced my portraits), August Sander
(also a direct influence for his portraits), Robert Frank (admire his use of the
camera and his framing), and Edward Weston (for his still lives)
Enormously. I became an adult here, discovered who I am, and what my
passions are. Here, I started choosing things for myself that were imposed
before. I left home a teenager and overnight I found myself living the life of
an adult with all its responsibilities.
I find inspiration anywhere, in school, going home on the metro, grocery
shopping Being Italian, and a still life photographer, I love to photograph food.
Im interested in anything to do with color and texture. I also love to photograph
architecture, and Italys rich heritage influences my tastes and choices.

Everything from a doctor to an archeologist to a dancer to a gas station
attendant because I love the smell of gasoline, but together with wanting to do
everything above, I always knew I wanted to do something creative.
One personal project I just finishedI tried to catalog the diversity of Parisians.
I stopped people in the street and asked them to pose, which was challenging
in a good way.
I did a 3-month internship at a photo agency that highly influenced my career
choice because its there that I learned that I wanted to be a photographer.

The interdisciplinary Critical Stu-
dies curriculum provides students
with critical-historical perspectives
on art, design and culture, and the
research, writing and presentation
skills essential to a wellrounded ap-
proach to art and design. These skills
and knowledge permit students to
situate contemporary visual culture
within its wider geographical and
historical contexts, to investigate
a range of issues that impact cultu-
ral production, and to discover and
probe resonances with their own
practice.
The curriculum has a strong art and
design history and theory compo-
nent, which is supplemented by ge-
neral critical studies courses in the
Humanities and Social Sciences. The
BFA and BBA degrees require stu-
dents 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 Freshman year, Survey of World
Art & Design serves as a key initia-
tion to the historical examination
and critical analysis of art and design
across ages and cultures. Students
learn to look at, contextualize, and in-
terpret images and artifacts. Critical
Reading & Writing emphasizes crea-
tive thinking, the acquisition of good
writing skills, and its use as a tool for
personal expression. Following this,
in addition to a set of core courses de-
signed for the specific majors and de-
grees, a wide range of Critical Studies
electives enable students to broaden
and sharpen their own critical and
theoretical points of view. Parsons
Paris takes special advantage of its
campus and location as an ideal en-
vironment for observing and explo-
ring social and cultural difference.
Visits to studios, museums, galleries
and various cultural events expose
students to historical and contem-
porary art and design achievements.
Senior level seminars address timely
and provocative issues that help stu-
dents develop ideas and make critical
choices that will enhance their own
careers as artists and designers.
Critical Studies requirements for de-
gree programs vary. Students should
consult their advisor to ensure that
these requirements are fulfilled ap-
propriately. Under exceptional cir-
cumstances, and by approval of the
Critical Studies Chair, requirements
may be taken out of sequence.
THE RESEARCH AND WRITING LAB
The Research and Writing Lab provi-
des supplementary support for stu-
dents working on written projects
in the English language. Through
individual appointments and perio-
dic workshops, students receive coa-
ching on all aspects of the writing
process, from content and structu-
ring to research and documentation.
LEARNING RESOURCES AND ACCESS
At Parsons Paris, we aim to provide
a quality learning environment for
all our students and are developing
a new access initiative to address
the needs of students with disabili-
ties. By making resources available
to students of different abilities and
through methods of assessment that
are flexible enough for us to adapt to
students individual needs, we strive
to aid those with learning difficulties
to achieve their full potential.

I started teaching right after I finished my Matrise, starting in cultural
centers, and in municipal and private schools in Paris. After a few years,
I decided to return to school to get an MFA in Art. I taught undergraduate
classes as a TA at UCLA and also at Santa Monica Community College. Once
I got my degree I moved to Iceland, where I taught at The National School of
Fine Arts, both in Ceramics and Ceramic history. I returned to Paris for a job
teaching at the ENSA de Limoges. The same year 1993, I was hired at Parsons
Paris in ceramics and 3D design in Foundation.
Have you been teaching for a long time?
>
I have been working for a year now as an artist in residence at the
Manufacture Nationale de Sevres, all the artists there work using 18th
century traditional techniques. The residency is a unique opportunity as well
as a challenge for me to work in collaboration with this famous institution.
Additionally, I recently received the Prix Bettencourt pour lintelligence de
la main that has only been given to one other ceramist. The Prix Bettencourt
was established to highlight the works of creative artists who perpetuate, in
France, the art trades and combine the traditional techniques with constant
research work and a deep sense of innovation.
Tell us about your career as a ceramicist.
>
I enjoy the exchange of ideas: it is fulfilling to share your experience with
those who are just starting out; it is also highly rewarding to be able to
make a difference in someones life. Teaching is a very satisfying human
interaction.
What do you like about teaching?
>
Parsons Paris is special because it is in Paris, it is small and allows a close
contact with the students. The international student body is unique and
makes for an interesting mix of ideas and backgrounds in the classroom.
What would you say distinguishes Parsons Paris from the other
schools you have taught in?

Parsons Paris offers degree programs
based on the American system of
education, in which students who
successfully complete four years of
study receive a Bachelors Degree.
In the fields of art and design, stu-
dents receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts
Degree (BFA) preparing them to en-
ter their profession. Students can
choose Communication Design, Il-
lustration, Fashion Design, Fine Arts
or Photography. BFA candidates start
in the Foundation Year; Photography
students have the option of direct
entry into their major starting from
freshman year. Students interested
in pursuing a career in business for
the design industries enter the De-
sign Management program as fres-
hmen; upon successful completion
of the four-year program these stu-
dents receive a Bachelor of Business
Administration degree (BBA)*, the
recognized undergraduate degree in
business in the USA.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
In the American education system
the first year of the Bachelors degree
is called the Freshman Year, the se-
cond 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 main-
tain 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 fi-
nancial assistance.
Quantitative progress
Students are expected to carry a full
course load and to enroll in the cor-
rect number of Core courses and Cri-
tical Studies courses each semester.
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 per-
forming poorly in or failing required
courses, but who are otherwise in
good academic standing, will be pla-
ced 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. Cre-
dits are differentiated into: studio
credits for classes that require the
creation of artwork; departmental
credits for courses that contain ma-
terial relevant to a students major;
critical studies / art history credit for
classes emphasizing the develop-
ment of critical, analytical, and wri-
ting skills. Critical Studies comprise
Art and Design History, Social Scien-
ces, Cultural Studies, and English. In
order to obtain the Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree (BFA) a student must
complete 134 credits, including 92
departmental and 42 Critical Studies
credits. The Bachelor of Business Ad-
ministration (BBA) requires 134 cre-
dits, including 79 departmental, 13
studio, and 42 Critical Studies credits.
All degree students must take a mini-
mum of 12 Art History credits within
their Critical Studies requirements.
TRANSFER STUDENT ISSUES
Transfer applicants are evaluated
on two criteria: their skills and abili-
ties must be equivalent to those of
Parsons Paris students at the same
level and they must have sufficient
credit for college courses completed
elsewhere that are similar in content,
purpose and standards to those offe-
red at Parsons Paris. See Transfer Cre-
dit Policy for more details.
To be accepted for departmental
transfer into the sophomore level of
the BFA program students must have
completed the equivalent of Parsons
Paris first-year Foundation Program
(approximately 24 studio art credits
plus 12 Critical Studies credits) or the
freshman year of Photography for
Photography transfers (approxima-
tely 24 photography and art studio
credits plus 12 Critical Studies cre-
dits). To be accepted for departmen-
tal transfer as a junior a student must
have completed the equivalent cre-
dits to a Parsons Paris student at that
level (approximately 48 studio credits
plus 18 Critical Studies credits.)
To be accepted to the BBA program
for departmental transfer as a so-
phomore a student will need to have
completed at least 36 credits within
the required course distribution; ju-
nior transfers will need to have com-
pleted 67 credits. Due to the unique
nature of the Design Management
program, transfer students will likely
take courses in the freshman and so-
phomore levels during their first year
at Parsons Paris in order to complete
the degree requirements.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT
Student must complete at least four
semesters of their undergraduate de-
gree at Parsons Paris. Students may
transfer a maximum of 67 credits.
TRANSFER TO PARSONS THE NEW
SCHOOL FOR DESIGN
Studying in these two great cities
with faculty engaged in the art and
design industries on both sides of
the Atlantic provides students with
a unique opportunity. Students who
begin the BFA or BBA program at Par-
sons Paris and are in good academic
standing may apply to transfer to
Parsons The New School for Design.
Those accepted for admission to Par-
sons The New School will be eligible
to complete their degrees in that ins-
titution.
DEGREE
PROGRAMS
*In addition to being accredited by the Middle
States Commission on Higher Education, the
Bachelor of Business Administration degree
meets the NASAD standards for a Bachelor of
Arts - Design Management (Multi-disciplinary
design).

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA
Parsons Paris has no set admissions formula. Each
applicant is reviewed individually with regard to his
or her own experience, achievement and potential
for artistic growth. A large part of the Admissions
Committees decision is based upon evaluation of
the Paris Portfolio, Design Analysis Essay, and Per-
sonal Statement (see pages 161-164). Parsons Paris
seeks serious, responsible, and highly motivated
applicants. A prospective students potential for
artistic achievement is one of the most important
criteria in evaluating candidates for admission.
ADMISSIONS DECISIONS
The Admissions Committee will make no decision
on an application until all materials have been re-
ceived by the Admissions Office; decisions are ren-
dered and mailed to applicants within three weeks
of receipt of all materials. All materials submitted
to the Admissions Office, including home assign-
ment, portfolio, transcripts, letters of recommen-
dation, etc, become the property of Parsons Paris.
ACCEPTED APPLICANTS
When notified of acceptance, applicants receive
information about housing, tuition and fees, and
other matters. The Admissions Committees de-
cision to admit an applicant is contingent upon
successful completion of any ongoing studies, and
on the Admissions Committees receipt of the final
transcripts of those studies.
DEFERRING ADMISSION
Some students choose to defer their date of entry
in order to travel or work. To defer entry, a letter
requesting a new entry date and describing the
applicants plans must be sent to the Admissions
Office. A non-refundable tuition deposit may be
requested.
SPECIAL CONDITION ADMISSIONS
In some cases, the Admissions Committee may re-
quire one of the following conditions:
English for International Students (EIS) Required
Students whose English proficiency test scores fall
between 60 and 91 on the TOEFL Ibt or 5.5 and 6
on the IELTS will be considered for entry with En-
glish for International Students (EIS) required. All
students who are admitted with EIS required as
an Admissions Condition, as well as those who are
placed into EIS courses as a result of mandatory tes-
ting administered during Orientation at Parsons
Paris. Enrollment will be limited exclusively to the
Studio/departmental portion of the curriculum,
plus EIS courses.
The student must successfully complete the EIS
class in order to continue at Parsons Paris. Any
student who does not complete the course with a
passing grade in their first semester will receive an
academic warning. Any student who has not suc-
cessfully completed the course by the end of their
second semester will be dismissed. Critical Studies
requirements normally completed in the first year
must be completed in subsequent semesters or du-
ring the summer and in some cases may lengthen
the time it takes to graduate.
Probation
Students may be admitted on academic probation
as a result of substandard academic performance.
Students who are accepted on probation who do
not maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 during the
first semester of study at Parsons Paris will be dis-
missed.
ADVANCED STANDING CREDIT
Students who have earned a French or Internatio-
nal Baccalaureate, a German Abitur, or who have
passed A-Levels, US Advanced Placement Exams,
or equivalent university qualifying examinations,
will be considered to receive appropriate transfer
credits for those academic credentials. Applicants
must submit official documentation in the original
language and certified translations into English in
order to receive credit.
TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY
All students are required to submit official trans-
cripts to the Admissions Office for evaluation when
applying to the school. Once admitted, students
may have their first semester of attendance at
Parsons Paris to submit outstanding official trans-
cripts to the Registrar for evaluation for possible
transfer credit. No transcripts submitted after the
end of a students first semester of attendance will
be considered for transfer credit. All transcripts
submitted must be original or certified copies in
order to be accepted. In addition, transcripts from
schools that were not indicated on the application
for admission will not be reviewed.
A grade of C or better must be earned to receive
transfer credit. Granting of transfer credit is contin-
gent upon an applicants 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 earned at non-English Language institu-
tions are also required to have their transcripts
evaluated by World Education Services (WES). A
course-by-course evaluation report must be prepa-
red for each transcript. Please start the evaluation
process as early as possible, including the submis-
sion of all required documents to WES in order to
ensure the timely completion of the evaluation
report. To contact WES go to www.wes.org; ins-
truct WES to send the report to the Parsons Paris
Admissions Office.
Studio Credit
Transfer credit for studio courses will be granted
only for courses whose content is similar to that
of Parsons Paris and after presentation of official
transcripts and portfolio material demonstrating
